Brian,
Please quote where anyone complained about a venue or this year's venue.
The issue is the $$$ needed to run on a punched track.
The reality is as the tracks have gotten faster, the participation has gone down.
In 1995, at Lugnut, they had 96-98 G27 entries and big number entries in all the classes.
Those 98 guys didn't all walk in thinking they were going to win.
A lot of them knew they had zero chance of winning with their two or three-year old car and two motors, but they knew they would be racing with other guys of their $$ commitment and driving ability.
And if they ran well in their race, they would move up and get to race again.
Do you know how exciting it is to move up at a USRA Nats race, especially with 50-98 racers?
Now with the single race format, you spend big $$$ to make sure you have top HP and a top car, and then you get to race once in that class.
