but ya them car countS keep

[SLIDING SIDEWAYS]

there are very few tracks that have weekly late model shows. where are the cars going to come from in a few years? putting more money in the purse isn't going to magically produce more cars if they don't exist now. are all the crate guys going to run out and drop a big engine in there car? money has killed racing. this use to be a fun family weekend hobby. it still is for the lower classes, but how many years does that have left. everything about today's late model rules needs to be thrown out and go back in time about 30-35 years if you want to save racing and start over.

Very well said. I agree 100%

Ohio has Attica, Wayne County, Hilltop, Midway, Atomic and Muskingum that run the late models weekly though Muskingum has more limited shows. Regular nights is about 16 to 18 cars sometimes dipping as low as 12 and up to 26 and special shows pull in more.

I wish Atomic still ran them weekly. It's far from that.

Car counts look cool, but in all reality, even back when Eldora had 200+ cars what did that matter? There were probably 100 that had zero chance of making the show, and out of the 120 that advanced to the heats back then, there were probably 10 that had a decent shot to win, and probably only 40 that had a real chance to make the race.

Agree with this post.. Two other factors that led to the 200+ years at Eldora was that there was no entry fee, and drivers entered more than one car

That said, we were way over the 120 cut off with teams entering 1 car and paying entry fees.

Fading away. Was watching a race on youtube the other nite, A woo race. An the one race i was watching was their highest car count of the 2022 season! Said about 30ish cars was singed in for that one race!!!

2022 Prairie Dirt Classic had 80 cars. I'm from Kentucky, but I think that's higher than 30.

Cedar Lake had 55 for the USA Nationals, too.... So, no idea what that clown was reading, with his 30ish cars being the highest.

Gotta love the internet..

That there is a good deal then ! !

the prairie dirt classic and cedar lake aren't weekly shows and some tracks will allow crates in there late model races, with a weigh break or something, to fill the field.
