N/SS has never gone only 3 rds to win, neither has Hemi.

The second half of my comment wasn't related to the first. I think King of Street and Big Dog only had 3 rounders Sunday.

As far as combing classes, that was just a suggestion to help increase purse sizes to other classes. NSS and the Gen 2 Hemis aren't THAT far off, even when you look at the rules. I just keep getting back to Pro having such a huge populous over the others and still racing for the same purse. Pro normally foots the bill for others at events, I get that, but with so many classes at this event, it's a common complaint I hear.

I'm not sure why sponsorship is the main driver for purse...I would have thought car counts? Either way, good to see efforts to get people involved are there.



I bet most people would be freaked to see what it cost to rent the facility for 4 days. My guess is walk up spectator tickets begin to help the bottom line, probably not racer entry
