    A Late model special with 5 or 6 support classes drives me crazy

      Stop charging extra to get in when you add $50 to a support class

      Stop having qualifying races where the winner gets a provisional to a future race at a totally different track.

      No qualifying for a weekly show.

      Get rid of the #ModernDayWedge ....get rid of the giant elephant ears fix the noses, smaller spoiler, smaller bodies

      Stop letting things slide in tech

      Stop the tire monopoly

      Stop making classes of similar cars to "fix" a problem instead of addressing the actual problem(s)

        A four-wide salute takes maybe 30 seconds to do. Does that really bother people? I agree it shouldn't be done for all events, but t's not that big a deal to me.

        Now driver introductions, that needs to be done away with at most events. And some tracks/announcers drag it out to a ridiculously long time. Total waste of time.

          It's not about the time. The 4 wide salute use to be something you would only see at the biggest races, and when you saw it, it was awesome. Now, almost every race is doing it and it's not as unique as it once was.

                    All seriousness aside, #9 would be a good PR move on bad nights. At least using standard concession stand food.

                        Just say no to dry slick race tracks...

                        Banning beer sales would mean the end to many tracks as that is a main source of income for many tracks. My beer sales equaled my back gate most nights...

                            This isn't all that relevant to late models but the IMCA claim rule was good the way it was a few years ago before they made it so you had to be at that track every night of the season in order to claim. Should have kept it at 3 nights in a row and I would be fine with making them show up the week after the claim as well

                              I think tracks in my are would benefit if they sold alcohol or at least allowed it in coolers.

                                I don't like motor claim rules in any class. It penalizes a driver and crew whether they were legal or not.
                                And too many are trigger happy and take advantage of this dumb rule.
