    I went to a track one time. They ran three 4 banger classes. Never went back even though they ran LM weekly also.

    How much does that deter LM guys from coming when you run that many classes. Even though they can just hangout in the toter and wait.

      Well then our group won't be going. We'll just start our season the next week at Brunswick.

        I know 3 and maybe even 4 of the classes listed run all of their heats Friday and race Saturday after everything is over. So that does help some. I wont be attending either. I'll just sit on my front porch and listen to the announcer from there. Lol

                  10 is ridiculously too much however you want to spin it.

                    Depends if you just want to watch the class that you want to watch and go home or if you want to watch as much racing as possible.

                    No spin needed to make that statement.

                      National 100 is now 50 laps for $10,000 to win. That may keep some guys away. Not enough money to justify the time you will be there. Went to the open practice he had yesterday. Track was very wet from all the rain we have had but stayed together suprisingly well. Had one hole going into turn one but that was it. I agree, too many classes.

                        They don’t call it the 72 Hours of EAMS for nothin’. They run everything but golf carts and hovarounds. Only now, with the 2018 cancel it’s more like the 72 Days of EAMS...

                          I wonder if admission prices have been reduced with the reduced purse?

                            We all love racing. But seriously, 5 or 6 of those classes could be combined into 2 classes. It seems like a thinly veiled ploy to maximize the back gate take to pay for the Supers.

                              I understand if you are mad about that aspect of it and feel like the business end of all that comes across a little shady.......or if the track just isn't capable of moving the show along , but to say it's too much racing just because all some people want to do is to come and watch late models and then go home is just crazy talk.

                              Apparently some love racing " the sport" more than others.

                              If they can't handle ten classes and move the show along to keep everyone interested then they shouldn't have that many, but to just say it's too many classes just because they aren't all late models is pretty hypocritical considering " we all love racing".

                                Your in the minority. 10 in too many. But don’t worry. I’ve been in the minority many times. Lol
