Heard the event was up 14%.
Look at NHRA Div. 2 LODRS @ Bradenton qualifying from last year... only 9 Super Stockers from FL, 3 GA, 3 AL (15 cars from 3 states). Stockers: 16 FL, 10 GA, 1 AL (27 cars from 3 states)... These races live on travelers. Scheduling and ever-rising fuel prices are going to hamper growth. Fact is, there are only so many cars in that region that are ready, willing, and able that early in the year and with that many back-to-back-to-back weekends on the schedule. People are going to pick and choose races.
