Paul, you are correct. If I thought we could make Lucas shows we would be there. Not everyone can be you...what is your car number?

Walt, not everyone wins. When I look at a race to run, I look at 7th place. This 7th place payout will cover my expenses for the weekend. The Rumble paid $600, that won't cover 2 tires, hauler fuel, 5 pit passes and 12 gallons of race fuel. With the Cumberland payout, it will leave a little extra for laps on the motor \expenses, or shock rebuilds or really the next race...

Cumberland this weekend they have an honest racers payout for supers. Hate the track but willing to support it because they are offering it.

Sure LM number are down in the super class. When I started racing in 1986 there was one LM class, now there are 3 legitimate classes being supers, crates and 358.

For the most part the only different in these cars is engine output, otherwise every other bit a piece is the same form class to class.

What is the car count for all 3 classes?

All three classes offer very good racing, perhaps crates are the best at providing side by side action as the motors are so close compared to the other classes.

Its getting tough to field a super for a middle class family, chassis prices are up and one motor problem set ya back $6K.

Being a guy who feels he has good sponsor $$, works 60 hours a week at a office job and sacrifices all other hobbies to go racing and it not enough any more.

Having raced both super and crates in the past 4 years, I can tell ya crates are much less to operate even with the smaller purse.

The tire rule keeps us from running there every so often. It came up just two weeks ago and we decided to got to DH since we did not want to spend the $1200 for tires.
