No you won't (at least not where I live). I've been doing this exact same thing locally (western and central PA and eastern OH) since 1999. Only one race ever (in 1999 at Quaker City) drew more than twenty cars (Hagerstown MD draws well, because of the timing, early November). Any race, with a 23 car field, $100 entry, $1,000 to win, $500 r/u, 200 semi, 100 3rd round, 50 2nd round. And no one comes out. We might get 17-18 cars on a GOOD day, with several races less than 12 cars (three cars at Numidia one year). Other similar series, with the same rules, same format, same entry/payout, get sometimes double the cars I get. Maybe people just don't like me. Oh well. It's probably going away next year (for the second time) so I won't have to worry about it anymore.
