As of right now gas prices are over 3.80 and it is too early for the summer prices yet. We saw in 2008 that when prices approached 4.00, people travelled far fewer miles than average.

If you want racers to travel, then you better have something special to offer, as well as good weather. Monster Mopar has traditionally paid out a higher purse than CC or Mo-Power, making it popular. CC races at NTR and Summit have always been well-attended due to a strong local base of Mopar racers. Some of the other venues that offer $1000 to win for $75 entry are not going to draw any travellers.

If you have a good local base to work from, and you get lucky with the weather, you might do alright.
