Heats vs time trials  

If you read the comments on social media for tracks in the Carolinas, you'll see people saying they don't want classes dropped or that this or that class should be added to the already bloated program. A few tracks added a class of only Crown Vics. That's it. Just 1990s Crown Victorias. I guess someone looked around and realized there's millions of them lying around so it would make a good extra class. They just don't realize less is sometimes more.

A couple guys and I have a running joke about southern short track classes. We'll mash up all the various division names into one division. The Crate Super Hobby Thunder Stock Bombers. It really is absurd how many classes you'll see at some of these tracks and how little difference there is between the class that draws 9 cars and the class that draws 7 cars. It seems some prefer two features with less than 10 cars each over one feature with 20 or more. I don't get it. I also don't get how people find any fun in spending all their spare time and money to run a race with a handful of other cars spread out around the track. Alot of the time a feature resembles a hot lap session with 5, 6 or 7 cars all spread out evenly around the track. Not at all entertaining. But they eat it up.
