Well said. No market for sure especially now. I know of 10 cars that have been for sale for 6 months and still are sitting. Id sell mine but cant either. I can convert my stub car to a crate late but...after i have to set the cage back...redo the suspension..new driveshaft..motor mounts...accelerator rod..oh yes..radiator needs to come back..lol. Get my point..might as well build another car. Have to buy tires also(good point). Well..fishing is looking pretty good now next year..anyone else? Not knocking Kevin's deal. Im sure he will draw some good cars and have a great show.Too bad. Guess Friday nights next year will BORING. There will be NO need for us to come next year to watch. Planned on bringing ...TWO ...sportsmans next year since you were moving to Fridays since we lost Godfrey. And I know of others that were going to come that didn't race last year.... TOUGH call. BUT I think you will be surprised to see how many faces you will lose in the crowd that actually came to watch them. Yea, yea, I know there will be 2 for everyone you lose...LOL
After watching the crates at Greenville. DO they have a real following like the sportsmans...NO.... The likely class to drop would have been the HORNETS .. JMO. But they are a promoters dream...money comes in and NOT to much PAYOUT...
I would like to see a hand count of HOW many sportsman drivers will actually be switching to a crate. I can bet NOT many. Lets see ....
1. They will have to sell their car. (Not much market for them, NOW). have to raise capital and now find a used up late model thats not TOO wore out. If thats at all possible.
2. BUY new tires, cause the old ones won't do.
3. NOW the power plant..more $$$$$$. They don't have a FORD replacement. That leaves us out. ...
Nope I can't see many jumping up to the new wonder class.. But, do I see a few LATE MODEL drivers jumping down and do a little cherry picking.... YOU BET!!!
Oh well, TCS loss is Highlands gain...!!!!!
