    Too many regional series

    Not from a driver, car owner, or crews eyes of course, but from fans perspective, at least this fan, and especially in the south, there is just way too many series. It was this way last year, and now even more series starting up. Series going head to head every weekend, many less than 100 miles apart. It just stinks to me. Can’t even get 24 car fields half the time last year. And that’s gonna continue. 13-19 car fields - Pass. Just not a fan of it. ...Probably gonna get floored for this post, but who cares. What can you post on 4m without getting floored. Lol. That’s my thoughts. What’s yours???

      I can get behind that crow. And ur exactly right don't matter what you say on here you can paint the fence black and people will argue it's white. They set up strawman after strawman argument just to believe that they are right about something for once in their life smh...

        I can agree with that. There are way too many regional series. It’s why weekly supers are all but dead in many areas.

          I don't see how these guys can afford to race for a 3-5k purse. The cost to race a super, especially if you run up front, even regionally is huge. Some of these series even charge an entry fee to race. Something eventually will give.

            I think you got it right crow. Everybody has a better idea and wants to start something new and it just depletes fields.

              I just really miss the days in my teens and early 20’s. I knew I could go to TST for a southern all star race and all the best in the region would be there, from the best out of the Carolinas to the best from Mississippi. Tennessee to Florida’s top dogs and in between. Don’t happen no more. To too many options. That’s bad fan wise.

                Your right about the regional series but at the same time the promoters don't want to take a chance an run a 5 or 10 thousand to win race like they would in the late 70s an 80s so at the same time if it wasn't for the series what would you have.

                  Your right Crow. Thinking about it, you have Sas, Msccs, Ray Cooks tours, Ultimate and Ultimates deep south tour. All that's probably in a 2 hour drive from TST.

                          As far as crates goes, it’s ridiculous. So many classes. It reminds me of religions. We don’t like that, we starting a new church. Then that bunch can’t get along, and start another church. Baptist, Methodist, catholic, church of god, church of Christ, Pentecostal, and on and on. That’s the crates.

                              Wish we had the too many LM series problem in the west. Other than a couple of places running crate/limiteds weekly nothing exists in CA. Oregon has the Supers regularly at Willamette, Cottage Grove and a couple of other tracks. Now Sprint cars out here are like (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)roaches in the Bronx...they're everywhere.
