I think we have the most underrated racing of any class. People ask me why I don't move "up" ?? "Up?" I ask. 410's, 358's, midget's, or dirt modifieds, the 600 sprints have as good, and I would argue a lot better Competition than any. Our multi groove racing, talent of drivers, and now the money we race for rivals or exceeds any of these classes. When you look at the money we spend vs. the money we win, it is a no brainer why I am in the 600 sprint class.
If I wanted to make a living at racing or be a NASCAR driver, I would need to be in Indiana or down south racing on asphalt , or get one of the two 410 rides that pays enough to live on.
That brings me to another point. To help drivers get to the next level and to capture a broader fan market, we need to get a high banked 1/5 mile asphalt track in central PA to run 600's on. There is a huge market for racers and fans for this type of racing. I have not raced on asphalt a lot, but my experience on it tells me it is a lot more fun than what most dirt track racers think, and to break into any form of broad marketable racing, and get big sponsor dollars, it needs to be on asphalt. Let's face it, most people don't like going to dirt tracks to eat dirt, suck dust , and stay out until midnight. I know it is something we all like to brag about, but most sane people would rather be home by 9:00 and not have to blow dirt balls from their nose during church the next day. Dirt tracks can't start their races at a decent time or the track will dry out too quick from the sun, not a problem with asphalt. Lets promte our class to other forms of racing, let them see what we are all about. Maybe a promoter and big sponsors will follow.
