Ideally people will have more money to go racing next year...

Car counts fall off in many series as the season goes on. Break downs, wrecks, depleted budgets.

I totally agree with that, but a few years ago you had this big SC push. Even on the dirt it seems like numbers are starting to drift down. I am one that has bashed the SC series in the past. The racing used to be dreadful. Indy Mile was so bad I fell asleep. Now the cars are pretty racy. I do not get to watch many races live, but I am always looking for the SC replay. The big reason I bring up the car counts, if 16 or 17 start, we all know we are down to 14 by lap 20. The SC cars always get some good long runs. Lap traffic always plays a big role in the outcome. When you take that element away, the race becomes very predictable. Maybe its just the end of a long season.

Agree on the car counts and that there was certainly a bump, but I would be surprised if there is any series with higher numbers this year than there was in like 2019 or so...

There certainly is less race tracks too.

Have to enjoy what we got, and when we can, slap a $20 (or more / like maybe buy a tire or connect them with a sponsor) at a race team / buy a T-shirt from a driver / etc. It goes a long way.

A great day of events and racing. You could watch some drag racing or walk through the classic/super car show. Good racing on the oval in the features. A good way to promote this event with multiple things going on.
