Charlotte Four Wide Nationals

From talking to a few racers who went to last years 4-wide nationals they said they would never go back. They said cause the track they normally run the .90 cars on is hardly ever used and it was skating on a piece of ice due to no rubber being laid down except for what the truck and tractors put down. Now it was back in March last year they did the race and did move it up to April this year but, I think Gas is a major factor for a lot of racers this year. One racer I talked to said from his home in NJ to NC and back was almost $600 to $700 in just fuel for the trip. Also I think people are in no rush to get out this year, it's almost like spend an extra day at work and save up vacation days, maybe go bracket racing locally for 1 day or go race for 6 days. I think this is just the beginning to low car counts at a lot of National Events this year.
