NOTE 4/4/15: IF AT LEAST 16 CARS SHOW UP FOR FED/ALT class, WE WILL BREAK THEM INTO TWO CLASSES ON DAY OF RACE! As a fan, Id like to see full 8-car fields of FEDs battling FEDs, and Altereds battling Altereds. But we need at least 8 of each.
We are writing and advertising that the FED/Altereds will be combined in one class; if we get 8 of each on race day, I will add the second class, and it will have the same purse as the original classes.
