Can SMS and Bak have a joint SS championship created?
03/05/10 at 8:14pm

I know the tracks may feel they don't need a joint championship but they do. Even with the new rules Bak needs sms cars and sms needs bak cars. I haven't seen or heard anything about a championship of any kind. I'm not saying to sh@t can the local point series but you have to give the out of town drivers a reason to show. You have a group of drivers that have become comfortable showing up at the opposing track. Lose that and we're back to 2005 where sms never saw any bak cars and bak never saw any sms cars.

Wouldn't you rather have 2 track championships than 1 between both tracks? It's better like this anyway because the ones that cannot afford to travel can still run for a local championship. This will be what gets the car counts back up in this division, I think it was a great move. I don't like the limited schedule, but that will probably change once there is more cars. And there will be more cars. Wink

most of the e/w races at SMS last year also had pitiful car counts. having a joint championship aint gonna change that. the only "full" field i remember was the simkins memorial, every other e/w race had 11-14 cars at SMS

FYI-------SMS didnt have any non e/w shows last year
