Less runs for increased costs, not to mention getting pushed out to less desirable pit areas.
Most class racers feel the same. The only ones that don't is those that had or have a child or grandchildren competing in juniors.

I saw just the opposite with my son racing in the JDRL for 9 years and after being out for 9 years, only 6 including my son of at least 25 weekly junior racers from our home track still race
