Late Models DONE at Florence Speedway

Mastersbilt-racer seems to be fine with the idea of just being a backmarker but how many racers want to put in the hours every week to just end up being in the way?

I wouldn't show up to be a backmarker. You apparently have failed to understand anything I have said.

What I am saying is that people spend money blindly and think that is what it takes. When you outrun them and tell them what you have, they don't believe you because they just spend blindly. There is no scientific basis for spending most of the money they spend. There current equipment is capable of way more than they get from it, but they go spend more anyway.

If you spend an extra $100,000 and you go from running 8th to 7th on the track, you are a failure.

When you have no idea how to make the correct adjustments at the track, a new car won't help you. If you have no throttle control, a new car won't help you. If you are getting beat by a 2010 Mastersbilt with a truck engine, a new car won't help you. Save your money, get better, stay in the sport.

The 90 car CnB was down on? I had never seen the guy until recently. He may be just getting started. If he is, a new car probably wouldn't help him much either, if his is set where it drives well. His speed may have nothing to do with how new the car doesn't look. You have to start somewhere. Why waste it when it won't help?

Now that said, I know that a 2020 body is 0.3 sec faster than a 2014 body, at Atomic. Thanks rule makers.

the problem started when latemodels had the word super added. the big touring series will be all that is around in a few years and even their numbers will dwindle down in car counts.

Not saying I agree with you, but if true, there's gonna be a lot of Rocket Chassis planter boxes around the country.

At Shawano we race for $1,000 to win in the supers. 2nd $680 3rd $580 4th $500 5th $410 6th $350 7TH $320 8TH $300 9TH $290 10TH 280 $150 TO START WITH AN 18 CAR FIELD IIRC.

NOT SURE HOW THAT COMPARES TO YOUR TRACKS.

Sounds like you are OK with a 4 car SLM feature. Not everyone can win.

And the guys that run midpack or less are not in the way... no one will come to watch a handful of cars race unless it's your family.

Just saw where the Super Late Models are done at Florence. Citing low car counts as a reason why. They have said that the classes will be Crate Late Model, Modified, Sports Modified, and Compacts. They are getting 15 to 16 Crates and only 8 or 9 Super Lates. This is a sad day. Yet Oakshade has gotten 24 to 35 Super Lates a night.

If the 604 guys had any brains they'd be running with the supers. The money at the back has got to be better than the other classes.

And start the slow guys up front... gives the hotshots something to do by refining their passing strategies...
