Charlotte Four Wide Nationals

When I ran the Gators the NHRA guy who parked me indicated there was a renewed emphasis on treating the Sportsman racer better and I must say I felt we were treated very fairly. Suppose track layout and such makes a difference but maybe they've realized the lower car counts are just as much about their "enhancements" as it is the current economy. In general the oil down thing, chassis cert fee, entry, insurance surcharge, etc have hurt the car counts and if .90 racers don't show they'll just fill it with Nostalgia, Unleashed, etc.....IMHO
