A lot of the tracks that have only few selected practice days boogle my mind. Does it really cost that much to keep a track open for practice. I see some people complain there’s no time to practice when tracks do this. Some days it was empty and I was the only one there for 1/2 the day. Other days there could be up to 10 on the track. Practice just means pushing it, breaking something, then buying a replacement :P

right now the local track is revamping its crawler course into an entire crawler room. About once a month they section off the parking lot for on road racing. They have a good variety of classes and turnout. It’s just some classes die off or something else gets popular. Mostly everyone is running 17.5 spec and then they have a second class to race. But even that has pretty much everyone branched into either 13.5 4wd, truggy, or 21.5 buggy or 40+. There’s not a lot of people running just one class.

last race series was pretty regular, about 10 people every time in sportsman. Rarely a b group except one time there was a full group a and b. Hardly any of those people who came that day ever came back for another race that season.

only once have I seen drivers refuse to drive until there was a track change, but they had a good reason: that track layout was just plain horrible. The jumps where too big and there were too many blind spots. It made racing more dangerous and prone to breaking. It got a revamp to the point they did race on it but they were glad when it was changed.
