I too was very disappointed in car counts! Like others have said...I don't get it. If you don't want buybacks you first have to support the race. Skooter would love to do away with them or at least put a buyback cap on car count, but first he needs to make sure he's not going to run the sanctioning body out of business. Nearly every big money race you will ever see has got buybacks (if not 2 rounds) because thats how they afford to pay the money! DUH!!! I'll be honest, I'm not a fan of the buybacks either but if that's what it takes to run for big money class racing......then so be it. I would have not hesitated to use it. I could have went to Rt 66 this past weekend and only traveled 500 miles round trip but instead I opted to travel 1200 miles because I realize which sanctioning body gives a ***** whether I'm there or not. I spent half as much on entry, got to suck it up in 2 classes with 1 car, and raced for a lot more money..........Like I said.....I don't get it! Lets hope car counts are WAY up at Richmond otherwise I don't think we'll get another one.
