Ahdunno, does a third of the Stock field at Norwalk alone count, like Kevin Skinner, Andrew Hill, Drew Skillman, Aaron Allison, Charley Downing, Katie Sepanek, Randi Lyn Shipp, Austin Williams, Michael Brand, Tim Fletcher, Brett Speer, Kevin Zaskowski, James Daniels, Patrick Downing, Brad Zaskowski, Caleb McFarland, Brina Splingaire, William Carrell, Steven Dziorny, Ray Thurston IV, Brian Seibenick, Ryan Rudrick, and PJ North?

Or are you referring to almost a third of the Norwalk Super Stock field like Dave Dupps Jr, Brina Splingaire, Zack Running, Joe Santangelo, Rylee Stufflebeam, Nick Morris, Matt Forbes, Robert Brewer, Brett Speer, Brad Zaskowski, Brandon Wilkinson, Thomas Fletcher, James Daniels, Alex Miller, Ryan Richardson, Brittany Boltz, Kristina Bennett, Aaron Allison, J.P. Schuster, and Pete D'Agnolo?

Hope I'm not nit picking here Michael, but a good percentage of this list are second or third generation racers from the same families that we've been seeing for decades.
They didn't exactly come from the spectator stands or off the street.
Gonna need more from the latter group ,eventually.
In my mind , it will take a total revamping of the program, including fees, time frames, pay outs and so on, starting at the divisional level.
