    Don't understand

    Been coming to National 100 for years, 5 or 6 years ago I understand why drivers didn't come. Last 3 years new owners have made drastic improvements to facilities and track. Hope new surface brings them back.

    All of the gouging of the race teams is what ruined this event. Pit passes, entry fees, atv fees and even charging for pit parking. Has the new management quit gouging the race teams?

    Also racing has severely declined. The super late model population is probably half of what it was when this race was at its peak. So this race will never return to its former car counts

      Entry fee kills the car count at any race track

        Wow, charging for pit parking? That's really taking advantage of the teams. In previous years, all those divisions racing on Sunday had to irritate the late model teams. Seemed it was late Sunday evening before they hit the track. As you say, hopefully the new owners and their improvements bring back the teams.

          Most tracks are running to many classes a local track close to me ran a 2500 to win limited race with no entry fee and had a full field of cars another track ran a 2 thousand to win race with a 100 dollars entry fee I think they had 13 cars

            The previous ownership used to charge a pit parking fee if race teams wanted to park in the center of the track, turn one or turn four. The back straight was the only free parking. Are they still doing this?

            This is their regular payoff. If this event pays back as bad as their regular payoff it’s no wonder it’s declined so much in car count
