They all make the point of DONT build a crate motor car
Your tow would be over 20 hours so why add that to your yearly racing
Most class racers dont want to dilute the class or change it
Ihra had to add as many classes as they could to get the car count
Now on a positive note if you dont build a crate motor car you can race at Epping and Lebanon Valley they have a great group of races the end on June and into july this year
Also dont over look the All Stars they are a great bunch to race with and race between Lebanon Valley and Epping
And if you are going to still build a Crate Motor car the All Stars will let you race with them
What combo are you going to run?
