Just because we've strayed a little bit...what do you guys think could be done in the next month and a half that would bring a big field in for the 200?

With respect to Paul, I just don't think a big purse is the answer. Not sure what its set at this year, but previous years we've seen 10,000 to win and still have struggled bringing cars in from elsewhere.

I've floated the idea of a run-what-you-brung tire rule...but I don't think that will fly given the political climate. (it'd be nice to be wrong about that though...and I very well could be)

Any other idears?

As I've said earlier, i think you could write a novel on what's wrong with LM racing in Ontario...but turning a lot of that stuff around won't help us for this years GCR.

There is A LOT of oldschool idealism at Delaware, and it hangs hard in the air. I will be blunt when I say this. There has been great improvements, but again the stand-alone rules screw counts. Many guys run different tires, across the board. Is there a way to even this up? If not find a solution for ALL tracks, next year. Work together, and get it done. If you stand alone, you will all die together. There's loads of LM parked, across this racing community, from the same issues. Lowered payouts, and guys not willing to fork out for tire rules. Either lighten rules across the boards, and work it out with either weights or something CHEAP for the guys... or keep going the way you are now....

Maybe a run-what-u-brung format, any late model, then run time trials, and have everyone add handicap weight based on the times?

How about switching nights with the Friday night card.......the 200 lapper under the lights!!!
