The only thing I can say for certain is that we can't keep doing the standard oval format with 30-40 cars on track. It just isn't working out. I wish they were better, I love oval racing, it's a completely different kind of challenge and strategy to road racing, but, we've had 1 good race in the last three seasons with the rest being caution fests. The only choices in front of us really are to replace ovals completely, heat racing, or a combination of the two.
I know there are a few drivers who really love ovals, and as I said I'm actually one of them, so I understand it can be pretty disappointing to get rid of ovals, but we have to do what is best for the series and sitting behind a pace car for 45min is not an option anymore. Hopefully we will get a chance next week to try out heat racing and see how it works for us.
If we do replace some or all of the ovals with road courses they will likely be the either two other road courses not raced in PRL, the roval layout of the oval if feasible, or a voted in track by the community. Perhaps we will have several options up for a vote.
Let's see how it goes next week at USA Speedway and then we can go figure out the next move.
