Are there really only one or two cars in a division??? i havent been to path valley in 4 or 5 years but things must really be going down hill???

The strictly stocks have really felt the impact of the economy and gas prices. Remember, these guys are very low budget racers, and I think it has finally caught up with the class. They have usually had at least 3 cars in each class this year, but Saturday was a bad night.

i rember a few years ago they had around 20 espically with hill vally not running anymore i thought theyd have more this year

I think it is sort of a vicious circle. The economy tanks and so many teams can no longer afford to race, so the car count drops, so the payout drops, so less teams can afford to run, so the car count drops, so the payout drops...

The weather sure hasn't helped this year either.
