If you're gonna claim 'stats', at least be accurate about it.
- What maybe 6 or 7 teams ran the whole series this past year...12 drivers ran every race in 2021
- Some of those were All Stars if I remember right...2 of them, but with teams based out of Central PA...But even so, why is that a bad thing?
So, where is the 'BIG problem' again??
Driver Count at all races
•2021 12
•2020 18
•2019 8
•2018 12
•2017 8
•2016 10
•2015 8
Average Car Count
•2021 36.0
•2020 38.4
•2019 31.5
•2018 32.0
•2017 35.7
•2016 31.9
•2015 34.3

12 attended all racces, average car count was 36. When I am at a race I am more concerned with the car count today than who was at another race.

Do you really think Rico Abreu, Justin Peck, Paul McMahan, and Sam Hafertepe will run PA speedweeks every year? I really doubt it. It is getting harder and harder for these teams and this grueling week.

The big problem is the season in PA is grueling for all the owners. With cost sky rocketing like never before......everything with parts is going up at lightspeed. Keep racing the way we have been and the car counts will continue to go down. I like how some areas start racing in April and end in late August or September. We have lost so many owners over the years due to rising cost. We will lose more over the next few years due to cost from racing too much.
Thanks to all the sponsors for giving these teams the financial support they do so they can put on a show for us.

I'll throw Path Valley in there, they are working on the place and the racing is fun, far from the boring half mile freight train tracks They should get a Speedweek date, Kreitzer needs to dump hagerstown and add another small track, atleast its in PA.

Totally agree!

Did everyone see DD post about the 20% increase in tires? A friend sent it to me. He should have also included the increase in parts besides the tires.....since all parts are skyrocketing. Imagine even a 10% increase for all parts accross the board for everything racing related. It is probably more than that but lets use that as an example. Racing even for 5,000.00 becomes even more difficult for the little guy that has been scrapping together all the money they had over the last several years to keep going.
No, that will not put the little guy out of the racing game....will it?

Not sure why you would sanction Pennsylvania Speedweek with the All Stars and see a $9,000 sanction fee walk out the door before you open the gates? Agreed, there is too much racing for teams. However, why cut races that pay more like PA Speedweek? Not to mention, they are big money makers for the track. Speedweek is fine as is.

The people who complain about the big 3 getting two dates each.....you realize that those tracks are getting rewarded for having weekly competition. They support the sport week in and week out all season. It would be absolutley ignorant to tell those tracks, "Hey, we need you to take off a week so somebody else can play this weekend. I know you put up the purses all year, but path valley wants a chance"

All right guys, let's up the excitement. Start
26 cars every nite. Always put the two
highest cars in points (real time points) on
the 13th row. Advantages; more cars will run
all the races, if anyone up in points has a
bad nite they can join the rear, this might
make a difference on rather someone quits
the tour, fans love car count, more fans will
follow more races, what's the down side?

I hope one of these days when I am at Lincoln, Selinsgrove or Williamsgrove I will run into Winged so I can finally meet him.

Winged goes to the Port....I will not step foot on Ports grounds period end of discussion until they get rid of razor Steve. So that throws your theory right out the window.
