i have ran a number of index races in our area, I cant say for anywhere else, but 100 entry and 1000 payout, there were only 20 cars at the most to show up and alot of the guys were pissed. , now when we had 3000 payout,we had 60-70 7.0 cars and as many 6.0 cars. Between this and all the other hoopla thats goin on, it looks like the Fairlane will be parked for awhile and the mustang will get more racing...
