I never thought I'd say it, but right now in SoCal, we honestly just have too many tracks! Racers are now spread between about 6 or 7 locations (if you count the parking lot tracks running as well) within a 30 mile distance of each other. 3 of these tracks are indoor facilities on top of that! Although it's great to see race directors trying to pump up on-road racing, it is really just killing race turnouts at the individual tracks. It seems like a new track will open, thrive for 3 or 4 months, and then the crowd will flock to a newer track leaving the previous one with horrible turnouts. Unfortunately, already in the past year a couple of tracks have been shunned and eventually just closed the doors...
It's mainly because of this that I have been running more and more electric off-road, where turnouts are fairly consistent and the competition is always good. Happy to say that last Saturday there was an A and B main for 2wd modified at a normal club race. Right now seems like a good time to sit back and let the on-road tracks battle it out while I get more and more wheel time with the EP off-road cars like the TRF511 and soon to be released TRF201.
One good note for the sedan side of things is the directors of the Reedy Race have selected a host track for this year. Although the announcement is late I'm hoping that they will end up with a good mod turnout, if so I'll head up for that race as well.
