Shane: You are correct, Kevin is exactly right.
I as a local racer want to be able to run rubber tire because it is cheaper for me. I have no dreams of winning the A main in a national race or even on a Tuesday night. I just want to race in an economic (for me) class against good competition. If that means racing side by side in the B or C Main for the win, I will be happy. I think there are a lot of racers in my situation.
The fast tires and fast cars are great for the fast guys and they are some of the best races to watch. But, there always will be a need for a class in between the sportsman and the "fast" guys.
PS-Ok, so I still want to beat "Half Throttle" Troy in the A main...gotta have one dream.
