Limit the max number of divisions at your local tracks?

4 classes max supers, crates, mods, ss or whatever is good for your region. A special during the week should be the special class and the top regular class at your track. On another note if you can run 10 classes and have the show wrapped up by 10:30 then so be it. I think a show whether weekly or special should be done by 10-10:30 at the latest

I have to ask which is better.....

Track 1 has 3 divisions,
They have 100 cars, 33 in each class.
They have 3 heats per class
They have a B main for each class
And they have a feature for each class

Track 2 has 6 classes
They too have 100 cars in the pits
4 classes draw for start and run a feature only
1 class has 2 heats and a feature
And 1 class qualifies and runs a feature.

So track 1 has 9 heats, 3 B mains and 3 features
Track 2 has 1 qualifying session, 2 heats and 6 features.

Track 1 at the end of the night has 3 winners and 99 losers
Track 2 at the end of the night has 6 winners and 94 losers

As a fan, which track do you want to watch?
As a racer, which track would you want to race at?

Very cool question…..as a fan I’d pick either really but would lean towards the second scenario if the classes were distinctly different.

As both a fan and racer I'd take the 1st scenario. As a racer I like big fields for our class as we go to race with a lot of people. Also like that heats usually determine where you start in the main. With choice 2 if you get a bad draw and only run a main you can be pretty much screwed before you start and just getting to run a main gives you no chance to adjust setups. Also get less track time for our $40+ pit pass. Don't care much for qualifying as either racer or fan. Nor do I care about 6 classes. My 2 cents (adjusted for inflation probably $4.50.)
