Jay, You may have see this. If not, it is a real eye opener to the car count problem. http://p081.ezboard.com/fdsrforumfrm28.showMessage?topicID=115.topic Jeff

However it is interesting to note that Spec Miata races are seeing anywhere from 25 to 40 car fields at many races. These cars probably cost about the same to run as an F500. I suspect that additional restraints on car counts has to do with prep time as well as the $$ to race. In F500 we need to do everything we can to help car counts and to improve our cars from a cost perspective. With the SCCA increasing classes & then limiting the Runoffs to the top 24 classes thing will get tougher in the future for classes with marginal counts. In the last 4 years out car counts have gone from about 7.5/race to about 5.5/race. This is not a good trend. Let's start a dialog on how we can improve F500 car counts. Thanks ...
