yet, the question does remain....what is going on with the series? Whether the dates were cancelled a few weeks ago or yesterday, all the hype at the beginning of the year to add the Nevada dates has fizzled out. IF I was a competitor/car owner in this series I would be very disappointed with this racing season and have serious questions about how solid the future is. Don't have a dog in this fight, but that's my 2 cents. (I'm sure someone will promptly remind me I'm not qualified to make such a statement!)

Yes, a schedule with more 410 races at Chico and Placerville and a purse that does not put a stangle hold on promoters will definitely help keep 410's racing next season.

I support the local tracks that can support a 410 program, Chico and Pville being 2 of the best, with so many 410 cars in the Sac area, and the racing at those tracks is usually worth it. It has to be a two way street, cars have to show up or the promoter put butts in seats to be able to afford the show, and the series owner needs to work with the promoters to leave enough meat on the bone for them to financially survive.

As a racer / car owner / trucking business owner myself (not of a sprint car) I can only think it is one of 2 things that makes the car count suffer. 1 is it is dang expensive to travel in a rig that gets 6 to 8 mpg (10 if lucky). So adding events in Nevada adds a ton of expense. DOT# IFTA or Trip permits plus the extra mileage. (in my trucking business when I just bring the 1 ton and 32 foot trailer from San jose it costs me $400 to cross the border and come home (12.5 mpg plus permits). The hill is hard on parts too. So the expense of the extra travel can't help. 2 promoters and payouts... I have been to all but 2 races in Ca for the KWS this year as my stuff sits for a couple years. I have been greatly entertained at all for the most part and the stands all seemed to be pretty full to standing room only. Hope 410 travelin shows are here to stay.
Finally livin the dirt dream.
