Curious - 9 Classes?

Looking at Clarksville, Tn results from last night and saw nine classes. I assume they only run Saturday nights and that couldn't have been Friday's nights results as well.

From a promoter / track operator perspective, what's the advantage or even reason for running nine classes of cars and some of those classes barely having a handful of cars? Personally as a fan, I would not like it all. I would enjoy three classes and definitely not more than four. I'm sure there are good reasons. Ideas? Opinions?
 
They do that out here in Nevada. It's because no class has more than 10 cars ever period. They had a class with just one car the other night

I don't get it
 
when they have the big IMCA modified races out here, only 5 or so out of 300+ cars are from vegas. No body here races dirt track. Its all pavement.

I do not get why they have 5 different street stock classes.
 
First off something needs done with the junk car's always cause wrecks...these guy's need held accountable for their actions! The Bmods would have been great if Cummins and tye coulda got up there to battle with Eilers but cation after cation stopped that from happening! Imo there should be standards on lap time's in every class...if you can't make it your parked! Another thing is I believe the tractor actually saves time over the tow truck unless there is mutiple car's stalled! Imo I'm seeing more and more field feelers then I'm seeing winning car's nowadays! Highland use to have some of the best sportsmen,street stock and mod shows around! Bring back draft beer cause that was the highland thing and man beer sales had to be good cause boy I could put em down,as could the ol boyz who carried the zobrist late model holder around (Serious bunch of beer drinkers lol) just ain't the same imo

My guess is that is has to drawing additional back gate as over the past several years we've seen the number of classes increase. I agree that nine is several classes too many and I'm definitely in agreement that 3-4 classes on a given night is a good number. I would much rather see three full fields (and the possibility of a B-Main/Consi) than five features with a dozen cars in each.
