We've been rained out a bazillion times and the car counts are already thinned by late-season attrition. Is it really not possible to run all five classes from here on out?

Oh boy, here we go again.

5CAN has returned!

C'mon Kenny your a famous sort of fella! I see you in the newspapers and hear ya on the radio-----you could probably carry some weight with that. lol. actually I'm just kiddin ya - I'm sure you're a modest type of fella. But whereas I completely agree with you Kenny........I also think it's fairly clear why he won't do that. He would be paying out more money - but yet there won't be much of an increase in attendance. Granted there would be in the pits - but as bozo as he gets when the curfew gets close - it would be a lot worse.

But yeah I think they should. I hope someday they will. But I'm also pretty sure they won't. I think if you have 5 or 6----maybe even 7 or 8........ascs races then those nights can be used to give certain classes a break. and the rest of the time run 5CAN. It;s a great idea and the right thing to do - but I don't know how anyone could ever convince Lanny of that. Really I think the only way we will ever see ANYTHING change is if there are less fans in the stands.

I know I am beating not just a dead, but a decaying horse. If it's a purse deal, I understand. I have never pretended to know the dollars and cents of track promotion. I guess I am thinking more in terms of the car count and the curfew factor.

We don't have B features with the factories or pro stocks, and between the two what will have in heat races, five?

When it's all said and done, the weather robbed us of a lot of racing this year. I only throw it out because there are just three points races left and the car counts are obviously down by now. If it won't work for an entire season, I understand. It's just the current circumstances of races missed, few races remaining and lower car counts that leads me to the suggestion.

I am not so sure that we couldn't get five classes done between 7:30-11 p.m., (minus the intermission) but I am almost certain that we could do it between 7-11 p.m. Wouldn't it be a nice way to let drivers make up for so many dates missed, and give the fans a little more racing when they have missed so much?

But that's only if it's a curfew thing. If it's about the money, and it probably is, I should really probably just shut up.
