    Only if it paid 20k plus to get some drivers there worth watching. And one support class.

    If they could time it to coincide with everyone heading home from Florida I think that would have best results as far as car count and I don't think it would have to be $20K, $5K I think would be sufficient and include some non-wing sprints, like the new "Lucas Oil Southern States Sprint Series" http://www.ssmidgets.com/home2.html

    Food for thought. But remember weather will be iffy that time of year, we do get snow from time to time in Georgia during Feb/Mar...

    Unless it's $75 to get in, there's not a chance in he!! NGS could have a 20k race in Jan/Feb with one support class and not lose a massive amount of money.

    The grammar, punctuation, and spelling errors in this post made me cringe. But I'm with B_K I feel like it would be a financial disaster for them.

    Blows my mind that people can't understand how racetracks operate. There's only a handful of tracks across the country that can put on a 20k show like the one you described and North Georgia isn't one of them. As much as late model fans despise support classes, without their support you have no late models.

    Fixed it. Don't tell someone they need to go back to school to read if you can't even type posts with proper grammar and punctuation.

    Serious question, have you ever been to a GA track with only 2 classes?? I'm pretty sure 4 is my least!! Also, Boyd's Cabin Fever race is pretty close and usually in Jan.

    Pot meet the proverbial kettle.
    Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

    Cabin Fever is the most drawn out race ever. Its almost as entertaining to watch the cars drive by on the interstate.

    Well, I personally wasnt suggesting only 2 classes, I just put out an extra headliner. Support classes are fine in moderation and needed. I do think it need not pay more than $5K, $20K would be a loser, I agree. But I stand by my suggestion to time it with teams heading home from Florida, I mean they're already going by on 75 a lot of them...

    I’ve done got the natives restless. Lol

    95% of the racers are raced out after 2 1/2 weeks of speedweeks. And their equipment needs refreshed. They’d drive right on by N GA.

    Don’t tell me one or two support classes don’t work. It works to perfection up north.

    20k to win, one support class, with the best of the best committed to come, I’d gladly pay $75. Lol

    And I agree. If you can’t use punctuation, don’t post. Ever!

    Not everyone has a quality Bammer education like you Gumps have.

    Most day races are typically like that. It's almost like they think they have all day and all night when they start in the afternoon.

    Indeed. Plus it's cold as balls, the racing is like watching open practice on a rented out track, and you can't drink beer.

    I feel like I've been to one with 3 classes but never 2.

    I'm not restless, I just understand math.

    North Georgia in Jan/Feb you'd be lucky to draw 1000-1500 in the stands. At $25 a person with a $20k show your still very short of breaking even.

    I'm with you on the $75 thing. I would gladly pay that too, but we're the minority in that.

    Never a good business plan to go into something where breaking even is your best case scenario.
