Interesting question. Unless all the tracks and promoters get together. To make a serious effort to change body rules and slowly phase out engine combos. So the cars can't hook up like they currently do. I don't think there is any way to save racing. What is interesting is that Grandview draws enough modifieds and sportsman to require consi's sending cars home. While last year, Bridgeport had fewer than 20 Modifieds mid-summer, and New Egypt had every Modified qualified. Even with New Egypt closed. Things don't look much better this year. Just looking at the Spec Wegner Dirt Big Block motor, it still costs close to 30 Grand. Big Block The Small Block motor costs close to 20Grand. DIRT Car Small Block GM 602's cost is over 8 grand, mentioned in another post. As a fan in the stands nowadays. Whether they run crates or not. It does not matter to me as long as the racing is entertaining. A decent show will get my money, a bad show won't. Racers are their own worst enemy.
