    3 door shots in a six van demo is bad, I agree. If the track doesn't enforce calls, people start to try to avoid them less unfortunately. Happens with any rule. As for car counts, most people were complaining that it was pretty hard finding vans at a price that made sense to wreck.

    I'd say the new rules are working out pretty well considering the smallest demo last season was 8 cars, which equalled the average demo the prior few seasons before. Add the 21 car championship that was the same or slightly higher than the prior few seasons, sounds to me like people like the new rules. From what I'm hearing there will be a much better turnout on the 18th.

    8 cars wasn't even a heat race years ago and 21 cars in championship thats not even half of what they used to have. When your 7 year old asks when can we go in the pits this is boring you know its sad. I can only hope it gets better.

    Believe me, I feel where you're coming from Mike. I grew up watching those 20+ car demos during the season and the 3 heats and a consi of 20+ cars just to qualify for the championship. I grew up watching Primmy, Whiplash, Speedo, Eugene Malverty, and all the others from the late 80's to late 90's. I miss those days and would love to run a real demo. The past few years a "big" demo has been 10 or so cars. I'm only pointing out there has been an improvement in car counts last season. Small improvement yes, but improvement none the less.

    I have to disagree now what iam i supposed to do with the cars that i have ready to run set up the way i ran for over ten years . Then the rules get changed wtf and im not the only one that has cars sitting around. So i went and watched from the stands with my kids and i should have stayed home and saved myself money, they dont know what was worse the 5 van demo or 4 buses doing a figure eight.

    Unfortunately I can't help you there. About the only thing i can suggest is if you don't want to travel, try to get the track to add a second demo class that allows your style of build. Works pretty good at other tracks and gives a good comparison on how people would rather build and run their cars. As for your building style, idk what you do to those cars, but they are solid. You made me lose feeling in my legs for a few seconds on a shot you gave me in 08 lol. That was the hardest I've ever been hit.

    The "build" rules haven't changed at riverhead, they're just being enforced, which is more than I can say for the on track rules.. by the way, riverhead isn't the only place to demo, take ur sitting cars to a track that allows welded cars.. but I've yet 2 come across such a place, maybe somewhere in the midwest..

    I know George was moving when Jamie caught him in the door, I wasn't arguing that. The two videos are both posted here. The first is the one Jamie posted, which is his own video on youtube, and the other is from pitstoppitbull.com. Both have clear views of George being hit by the 99. George was chasing Jamie before the hit. The pitstoppitbull.com video was actually focusing on Georges van leading up to and during the hit. Id like to see your video Just to watch it.

    I didn't know the 99 got his dd twice. The one in the videos on here is a pretty nasty shot, I'd be suprised if that didn't hurt George at all. If I can find a little extra gas money I'll stop by, but I haven't gotten a paycheck in too long and I still gotta wait another week. Any chance you could bring it to the track sat?
