So true Paul...hate to say it! You know all the local Stk/SS, SC, SG Associations and Big Money Races like Brian and Lee's Stk/SS and My .90 Race are looking good right now. You know if I had a Stk or Super Stk car I would be at the Combo in the Hills in a heart beat. I Know it's beating a silent drum anymore but, you can't raise the cost of something and not give more back when the economy is in the toilet....it makes NO SENSE! People will find different choices such as bracket racing and association racing. Like Paul said it's like a local buisness you've gone to your whole life and the main guy retires and someone new take over and raise prices and does a horrible job...people will find a new place to go. I think this is just the beginning to lower entries....wait till you get to Bristol or Topeka which are always a very low drawing car count and if Gainesville is a sign of whats to come...someone is in trouble!
