Late Models are what puts fans in the stands.. Average racefan won't come to watch just a B-Mod show or for that matter an A-Mod show in this area. Tri-City had one night where they had over 50 B-Mods. They were paying $1,000 to win that night. Other nights they had 18-30..They aren't paying the purse for other classes!!Personally b mods seem to be used to prop up purses for other classes not having full fields like lates and crates. If you only have 17-19 lates showing up (and thats on a good night) you can ot make a dime and lose on an 18 car feature. The pay is set up for 21 plus showing up with pit passes and such. So they use a bottom freeder class which used to be the street stocks and hornets to do that but those classes have faltered too. So you draw b mods in. Pay slightly more than street stocks and there you have it. Personally if a class flourishes and brings fans in the stands they should be rewarded and not held back i know its an economy class and noone is going to make money. But i feel in a way the class is being used and abused a bit knowing they can draw decent car counts almost gauranteed. Guessing we will see what happens next year and in no way am i bashing how a track operates. You gotta do what you gotta do in todays world to make ends meet. Just be nice for a new class to be given some $$$ support to make it grow even more which i can if some things were followed through correctly.
its stupid to have a 2000 to win bmod race to begin with the class was not designed for that might as well have amods this class will go the same way as the crates in a few years.somebody needs to come up with a real street stock class
I agree that fans well most fans dont come to see the b mods. Family and friends do with crew members but doesnt equal to what lates bring. Im just saying you have to have a support class that brings in dollars to support other classes that dont hold their end of the feeder system. If any track draws say 20 lates even with family and crew it wont cover the purse after paying for insurance ect needed to put on that portion of the show. You need class to prop them up. A mods do pretty good and truly support their pay. Crates are a wash. Street stocks havent been holdinng their end of the program. Hornets have tailored off dramatically. All im saying is if you make it more lucrative to run a b mod then youll have mor cars more butts in the seats and help the overall program as well. But you are right and you do need a premier class and a name getter.Late Models are what puts fans in the stands..

I agree 100 percent! When they gave them quick steer racing springs shocks weight jacks and aduustable whatevers lol walla. You have a super street stock that can run with a sportsman. The times at ti city when sportsmans ran same night street stocks did backs that up. Numbers were within a wisker of each otherI-55 has the best street stock class in the U.S.A. They call them sportsman....there nothing more then a super street stock and I wish everyone would look at them as such but.........
lol im not deciding anything except not go to your boring bmod race like most people i just said it was stupid and there needs to be an affordable starter class
B-mods are a car of tomorrow if the right rule package is put into place...to me its not a boring class at allWhat makes the bmods so boring to you?
