Probably due to weather but only 19 410s while 360 and 305 had full fields.Maybe next week.Looks like there are enough Racesavers for Boone just hope they make best of it.Mr Lawton runs a fast show and doesnt like yellows or delays which it will take a while to get push starting smoothed into program.If you remember right at IMCA nationals one year their feature was shortened due to time taken.They are still best lower cost sprint car alternative.The micros and dwarf cars or Mod lites are spending more than the Racesavers.$10K motors are plenty for a starter type class .The show money for Knoxville 410 is more than double that many lower classes get to win. It also costs around $1000 a night to run if you fiqure everything so grandstand tickets are still cheap.

Unfortunate that both Madsens skipped the $20k to win WoO show that they both could have been really competitive at for a bad forecast at Knoxville.

I talked to some Mod Lite guys there and they aren't spending that much. I can't speak for Micros.
