Exactly what I thought MJ, perhaps folks grew tired of the ultramarathon this event has been in years past…all the little extra classes, two full days of qualifying (?). Perhaps they were concerned they’d get invaded by locusts (again!) or windstorms would come in (I have it on good authority that weathermen can’t always be relied on). West coast fuel prices don’t seem to have dropped like in the East ($2.69 at Costco here) and tracks disappearing can’t help. Still, I’d love to hear from D6/7 racers why they think the count dropped so much, 128 car field in Stock wasn’t that unusual in years past.

You have not missed much. Dirt Track running next to the Track and
Pits bellowing Dirt and Dust. Inches of Dirt on everything and it
going to be a four day marathon for one race!

92 Stockers ran Q3. Still a great car count considering the state of our economy. Plus 90% are show quality!
