Local races are killing local races, or rather local tracks. This site lists what, 45 tracks open in the state? How many tracks were there back in these "glory days"? When every track is open every weekend the mass is going to get spread thin. I live 20 minutes from both Briarcliff and Route 62 and it would be hard to justify a regular ol' Saturday race 2 hours away when I can go ride unlimited all day for $20. And not just that but with 45 tracks and about 24 good weekends for racing you're bound to have overlaps. People from the East are going to go to the race on the east and the west are doing the same with the west. And now instead of 500 bikes at one track they both have less than 300. It's great that we have all of these options to ride, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that having this many tracks and conflicting point series is bad business as a whole.
