Paul I could'nt agree more. We were having this conversation today. You will see more multiple car teams towing together. You will see more open bed trailers with pickups. It gets to a point is it cheaper to stay in a motel.
Where do we draw the line?
In NC we are blessed with numerous tracks to choose from. Drawbacks are double entries and 2 rds of buybacks at the bracket races. Locally a typical weekend includes 2-3 days of bracket racing with 2 car at a cost of $400-$600 dollars. I can run a few IHRA races for typically the same money. Difference!!!
IHRA races pay killer rd money and usually only go 5 or 6 rds.
Bracket racing rd money sucks, races are usually 7-9 rds. For me I'll keep on going IHRA racing for now but I see the car counts swinging in the direction of the Saturday night specials.
