The other classes will get paid more money to win and start. It was tough to have 8 SLM cars run for 30 laps and see them spread out over the track, not fair or exciting for the fans even though the teams that showed busted their a$$ out there. I love Supers, but you have to be smart these years. TST is spending a wad of money on improvements, enhancements, and upgrading in so many areas including the long bitched about bathroom situation, long overdue, I have seen "cans" getting built from scratch and as recently as yesterday. It also has a built in stage on one side for bands and stuff.The track has been worked, dug up, groomed so many times since the Ice Bowl, track prep will be sweet. Tough choices have and will be made so TST is viable for many years to come, had over 120 cars for practice last Sunday. If people knew the overall costs for facilities weekly, monthly, daily, race nights and so on, you gotta be smart. When we run the Supers, we will make it count, 16 out of 30 is not bad.
