How would you SAVE CLASS RACING ???

To many classes for sure. That figures out to a lot of single runs which the manufactures don't like, and I can't blame them. Why not pay the top 32 qualifiers? That will help the contingency payers with use of product, the horsepower situation and eliminate single runs. May be the manufactures will return to the midway. The way things are now you have a hard time finding racing parts at the track. Someone related to the 90's class winnings. We used to see who is paying go buy what we needed so that we could claim for the year. I was getting $2000 a class win in the 90"s. Certainly made racing a lot better money wise. One of those years I was lucky enough to win class 10 times. Those days are long gone probably not to return. My concern now would be why can't we have better round money? $300 3rd round loser is terrible! 2nd round loser should get his entrance money back and payout per round increased. It is done for Indy. Why not all? Some will say we are not racing for the money. Well with that outlook maybe soon we will be racing for nothing but a trophy.
