As Greg stated, the race field has become very poor in some classes; going racing is not cheap and other than Nascar (which I'm not a fan; and who has also loss car owners) the events are not making money with small fields running. I think it will bring the overall cost down, bring more cars out and more people at one time to the track too enjoy both groups. Do you like Indy cars today all looking the same, having trouble passing on many of the tracks! {NO} I have tickets and a group of us are going to F1 in Austin, the tickets are high, hotels pricing is a joke within 50 miles; but it's still the first F1 in the US in a long time. Look at the cost of most club track days when all is said and done. We have lost over the years a lot of tracks, events and great drivers; but we still have many great forms of racing. The vintage races/events seem the strongest, but look at the price levels these cars are being sold at! Thankfully we can still enjoy our cars and the events that show todays and yesterdays great cars and driver in some cases. I love sports in general, but the smell of Castrol oil {Brad Penn} and six Weber's at full song with open exhaust is worth the price of admission!
