There's too many events. The whole series is watered down, winning one does not carry the prestige that it once did. Half of them do not even fill the fields.

Once upon a time, the pros made a living match racing....they actually came to where the people were. This actually got the fans lathered up, and helped make the National events very special. My first year at Indy, in 1967, had 1300 entries and over 100,000 in paid attendance. I seriously doubt that they exceed that today. The events just are not that special anymore.

Frito, I wish I could at Indy, just like the old days. But, on Saturday morning after the Challenge, I'd be on my way back to Pennsylvania.
