If people are putting 20 plus grand into a racecar, they are pricing people out of the ability to race for the enjoyment and at least a chance at competition.

Some folks race for the ego rush they obtain by winning - or "almost" winning. The thrill of winning or almost winning (if only this or that, I would have won) is truly addicting.  Like any addiction, some racers will do just about anything for the next fix - including bending the rules and/or forcing the track management to allow expensive components. Others hire expensive shock specialists, not-so-expensive suspension gurus and truly expensive engine geniuses, which is even more expensive that ordering the latest "must have" part. 

And as the track management gives in to the threats of boycotts, promises to financially support the track, and/or social media pressure for better parts, safer equipment and aftermarket stuff that will "save the racer in the long run," the cost of being competitive in that class becomes something only the truly addicted can afford.

Then the cycle begins again with a replacement "low buck" division.  Like Mike, I have seen this pattern over and over as I'm sure you have too.

The only cure is for track management to have enough financial stability (and will power) to just say "no" to the demands and hold to the spirit of the original affordable class.

Was sad to see only four factory stocks show up and only 9 on opening night. To me as a fan it is the most competitive and most fun class to watch. If this class dies out at STRR it will be tough on me as it is my favorite class. I have noticed sportmod  counts are down from what they were as well . Looks like Cotton Bowl car counts are really good as are 105's. I guess the South Texas region is weakening. Sad.

They were at Cotton Bowl Arob. Maupin won on a late race pass with one to go. Then there was a big wreck coming out of 2 on the last lap. They called the race then. Haugh in the 12 took a lot of damage on that wreck. He spun early and raced back to 3rd with a full field of cars, it was impressive. He used to race trucks at HMP and was really good there also.

He was always good on asphalt, no matter what he drove. He's no slouch on dirt either, obviously.
