The web page still says $600 to win for lates. If they don't up that they're not going to get any aluminumn block cars anyway.

Where would this extra purse money come from that you speak of?  You really think that Hummingbird would pull in enough cars to make up for the payout increase?  Doubtful.   Most of the guys running Supers will run Marion Center on a Saturday night.  I don't see the bird pulling any cars from Marion Center.  so the only way to make up the difference is to rob peter and pay Paul (Kot) lol. 
 
As for the rest of the Neighsayers on here.  Charlie is a stand up guy and will talk to you about pretty much anything.  He'll try and help you out and even tell you what works for him.  so next time you are in doubt about his motor...ask!  Guarantee you that you'll eat your words of calling him a cheater and walk away dumb founded.  he's a good driver with good equipment plain and simple.

Well to start with...they had a whole extra class in the micro sprints that was dropped and nothing was added to the any of the purses from dropping them. And before you say that they all payed at the back gate and that generated money , so would the extra super lates. More people would come to watch super lates which equals extra dollars.
Sure there are other tracks that run supers on Saturday night but you know as well as I do people get pissed off at other tracks and would go someplace else just because. Opening the lates up to include aluminumn engine cars just makes good sense. If the drivers don't have to change their cars to run a new track they're more apt to do so. And forget about the weight difference, let them run as is, it don't make that much difference anyway. An ill handling car won't win regardless of its weight. Scale your car to the weight you have and it won't be an issue. Luke Hoffner used to run hummingbird and his car tipped the scales at over 2600# and look how many races he won.

Hummingbird should open that class up to include aluminumn ENGINES anyway.

If they would do that and bump the purse up to $1000 to win they'd fill that class every week.

They already have the new limited lates so now open the old limited class and call it super late !

Anybody who cant run with the supers can move down a class.

The fast half dozen steel block lates there now that are competative would run well against the aluminumn engine cars and probably win against them too !

Nice write up Randy . Thanks for sticking around for another season.

the fentons have a cheer leader in turn 4 telling them the distances at hummingbird

LOL . Yes but he's signaling to his driver how far behind he is and he needs to speed up.
