Bob stick with super latemodels.Do not do like the other tracks in the south and put all you eggs in the basket with crates and steel heads or u will be out of business. Crates have all but destroyed racing in the south... No fans in the stands....

Crates are income to the track. Like it or not. They don't replace the supers, but with an economy that is still struggling, many super guys in my area are running crates now. This is a hell of a racy track. I can't tell you how much side by side for the lead I have seen there. I have noticed small crowds, and a lack of Supers. That's not a good thing. I have seen a lack of law enforcement hanging around too. Not that I have ever seen much fighting there in 3 years but their presence helps. After all, this is a family event as a spectator. They run late a lot. That hurts any track. Tech seems to have loosened up some. In crates, that will divert people in a second. In a rules based class, you have to have rules enforced. I've heard a few 8,000 rpm crate cars there this year. Pretty obvious they are not tech'n them anymore. I hope it makes it. It's a great track with some great improvements since the last 3-4 years.
