I guess I'll chime in with my .02 cents. We haven't attended any races in recent years for various reasons. Part of that has to do with moneyand family, part with work. As I work every other Saturday until noon. Thunder Valley and Oahe both start in the afternoon on Saturdays so I can work and still make it in time to run. Finally part of it is because it's only a one day race. I know you can bracket race on Sunday. But, I can bracket race at Oahe and usually be home at a reasonable hour with half the expense.

I can see Travis' point on the purse issue for S/SS as opposed to the bracket cars. Why would he want to pound on a high dollar SS'er for minimal return. Then run in a bracket class with it Sunday when he has a tank of a bracket car that requires little maintainance sitting at home. So I can understand his mindset. We're in the same boat. We're turning dad's old 4 door into a bracket car so we can run more closer to home with wearing out the SS'ers or be able to run a bracket class along with the combo race.

Glen, I wish you luck if anyone can get it turned around it's you. I'd love to see it turn into a two day race and then I know we would try to make a couple when possible.
