D2 races to include 3 Unleashed classes

Ultimately I think this idea will be a flop. Typically the local bracket racer is not going to be willing to pony up $100 entry fee to race for only a $1,000 purse. Most tracks offer the the same or better purse on a weekly basis for much less entry fee. Plus I dont think there are enough cars locally that are hard core index racers to fill the fields to the level to make them profitable. The super series guys wont cross over because of the issue with the electronics. I f they do cross over it will just hurt the car counts for the SST and SG classes. This is most likely what will happen. I guess we will all have to wait and see.
