NORWALK CANCELED - My $.02

I remember that Dave Danish told me long time ago that the difference between NHRA and the Sportsman is that NHRA is a Business and makes a decision like a business and to most of the racers it is a hobby now we know I guess lol at me I think this just might be true on how we approach racing

That's the autocross series.

Thought the Autocross series was Sun the 8th?

Look at the trend to the 4 wide tracks.
IMHO that is not for more cars, but to get the package (Pro) done in time to get the show packaged for TV.
Look at Nascar. Mega stands they built are empty. Yet they are formatting the race for TV and making money. Nascar has gone wild with the in car shots, too..
They don't need or want more sportsman racers at a race.
There are way too many TV channels and there is money to be made putting anything out there... can you say Curling??
TV is where the money is and they know it.
