Apparently in the next couple of years every car at the track will be some type of Late model. Killing grass roots racing.

Claim rules never work.

If they tech these cars every week they won't need to worry about the claiming rule. The key will be teching of the cars because, if they don't it will only get out of hand the crates classes are now.

I thought crates were suppose to be "economy"???

Anybody can claim I like that rule lol...

They were and no teching of cars and now they are out of hand. this will be no different if they are not serious about teching. I hope they do then this could be a good thing.

I miss the days when nearly every track had a very simple ladder for drivers to advance through from beginner to advanced competitors. Most tracks had some type of entry level factory stock/bomber class. Then you moved up to street stock/hobby stock. After that it was usually late model. Today it could easily be 4 cyl./FWD, then factory stock/bomber/street stock. Those should be kept at $5K and under for a turn key car. Then it's up to Sportsman/Crate late model, keeping them under $10K turn key. Modified is next, shooting for the $10K-$15K range, and finally Super late model at $15K+.

For that to actually happen, it would take promoters agreeing to run the same rules, rules enforcement, and racers with enough brains to know that paying for a more expensive car isn't going to make them faster. It amazes me how much some of these morons are asking for the cars they are trying to sell. They screw up and over pay, then they want to sell it and make someone else do the same to bail them out of their own stupidity. Simple supply and demand. If nobody is willing to pay that much for cars and parts, suppliers will be forced to lower their price. Rules can take away that need to buy those parts, and smart buyers that refuse to pay the high prices could make a huge difference. That takes discipline, which many do not have.

From what I've seen so far he has nothing to do with this series. If that was the case it would be dead before it started when word got out. That man is a JOKE. Supposedly he still trying to acquire land to build a new track near Lebanon, Indiana.

Skip White Chinese aluminum heads... not good. Been there, done that.
There’s a lot better budget aluminum heads out there.
If it works, it would create a better used parts market for LM guys to sell their stuff.

Anybody know what happened to the track near Lebanon that the Kenyon Brothers built in the 80's?
