I think Phil is right. There are just too many darn classes. Certainly the things Frasson mentioned are true also, the costs, and more entertainment options. But that not withstanding, if there were only 3 or 4 classes total, the car counts would go up and the show would be better. The wrecking thing is a big reason why I backed off from racing as much, it just creates more work and more costs, and takes the fun away.

It is not as bad if someone else pays for and fixes the damage...
Double edged sword though, IMO. If the above factors were not in play, I cannot imagine that moroso speedway park is as much fun as St Pete or Auburndale. "Beating" (figuratively and literally) the other guy is what it is all about.
That said, have always had a fondness for Sports Car Racing (going to all of the Rolex events, no doubt) and have a great deal of respect for you and the other road racers.Comment

The only comment i can add to this is, The stands were full in the 80's because it WAS the 80's. OSW was a packed house then too.
One other thing. I would do single or double file restarts...........single file didn't bother me because when the leader fired i went to the outside and took spots away from the bottom feeders.
Neither are an issue if you know how to drive in traffic.Normalcy is a myth. what is perfectly normal for the Cheetah, Becomes absolute chaos for the Antelope.Comment

No respect
IMO, there is no respect on the re-starts, and it is tearing up to much equipment, which is causing to many drivers to sit out. I believe car count would go up after a month or two of single file re-starts. I also believe you will see more side by side racing and more cars left at the end of the race, simply because less cars will be sitting wrecked in the pits! Vine P.Comment

Any class that can't get one lap in after 3 attempts, needs to go back to the pits. Let the come back out after all the others run.
They act like children,treat them as such.
I agree on too many classes. Racers know the difference between SS,PS, and bombers, but most in the grandstands DO NOT.
They're probably scratching their heads wondering why in the hell are they only running 6-8 cars per feature?Comment

In my opinion, and certainly with all due respect to those that feel otherwise, this is a solution without a problem.Comment
