(quote) 6 or 7 classes is for lazy promoters who work under the backdoor mentality. Now your subjecting the fans to sit through 6-7 class all with 4-9 cars in each class. New classes cannibalize existing classes.
6 cyl gut n go? You have 4 cyls. Work and develop that class thats already in existence. Why start something new that will basically mirror a class you already have? And with hardly any 6cyl racears in out there, its a tough draw. Without seeing the rules, if its a simple "gut n go" with no roll cages, i can only imagine that insurance nightmare.
I could see justifying the addition of the street stocks provided the "stockcars" where dumped.
No reason any track cant run a solid program with 4 core classes, full fields with the occasional special 5th class added every other week or so.
I'm not trying to be negative here but really, as a sponsor, fan, crew guy, I'd just assume stay home than sit through that much nonsense.

(quote) And lets be honest here, terms such as "gut n go" "Junk yard dogs" "Thunder pups" "battlekarz" Does absolutely nothing for the betterment of racing. Just lends more credence to the backwoods redneck stereotype of auto racing. Try taking some notes from other tracks and their "4cyl superstocks" or the "super Six's"
How do you go approach a prospective sponsor and tell them you race in the "gut n go" class or the "junk yard dogs"? C'mon now really.
Andy, I get it - You don't like what were trying to do down here at Skyline and that's Ok - But we think this is what is best for us at this time and we are going to give it a try. Time will tell if it works, and you have to remember that Skyline has survived for many many years racing with the so called backwoods rednecks.
