How can late model costs be reduced

Easy, rob all the sponsors and backers of the cars. As long as they have money, they will spend it to win. Therefore the rest have to spend it to keep up.Short of making any part illegal that doesn't have a factory part number, I don't think there is anything you can do with the rules to make it cheaper. How do you think a whole car claim rule would go over? lolMy Dad used to say, "The bigger he prize, the bigger the greed. The bigger the greed, the bigger the crime." Buying a championship or even a race win, seems like a crime to a lot of people.This cost thing has been set in motion in the 50s, with the after market parts and chassis. The only thing we can do is let it play out and see what comes out of the ashes. We will most likely end up with some kind of hobby racing, with hot pockets of racing and nothing everywhere else and maybe a national tour.The only form of racing, I see growing is the IMCA crate mods. Most new cars are open motor mods backing down because of cost. The small tire makes this possible. The draw back is the tracks will cut purses, because the racers are saving money and they end up in the same money crunch. Much like crate LMs. Although there are high dollar specials, most other purses dropped by a third and savings are no here near a third. The money crunch got worse instead of better. This doesn't account or the missing fans, because the think it's a lesser show.

This part is partially true, some will always spend their last dime and that's their right. What you can do is make those dimes less effective.Dry slick surface on its own doesn't do much anymore, due to what technology/setup is allowed to be used today. The way they are allowed to run the cars today makes it possible to maintain nearly the same speed all night. More HP than whats needed should be allowed, if you try to go about it with just minimizing HP then you get a bunch of over-hooked go karts(602/604 crates). Agree with me, don't agree with me I don't care. I agree with the guy who said we'll have to let it all burn down and see whats left because the powers that be are selfish, short sighted, greedy and stupid. Learn from history or be doomed to repeat it.

I agree boys its snowballed into an avalanche and now cant be stopped..let the chips fall and pick up the pieces..aftermarket parts like a arms and such aint bad for you need them now that stock ones are scarce..but local racing needs spec shock rules spec suspension like solid pull bar no 5 coil start there. That shoul equalize high $ motors if they are blowing the tires off the car..
