I agree somewhat, I'd like it more if there were more owner/drivers too. My local tracks in the 80's(7 Flags, Dixie, Rome) we had super late model on the card every week back then. Prolly 18 cars for a regular show, but back then there really was only 1 car at those 3 tracks that wasn't an owner/driver situation and that was Stan Massey in the Days Chevrolet car. He kept the car up himself, but Days owned and funded it. Everybody else were owner/drivers and I think that helped keep cost more contained. Later in the 90's another guy was an owner driver, but he outspent everyone because he was trafficking dope. #81 Granger Howell, then he got busted at the shootout and went to the big house.
I was a highwayman
Along the coach roads I did ride
With sword and pistol by my side
and I am still alive
