plus most of the cars have alot of money in them but i don't think they have real deal racecar planning when they are built. some of the pro cars don't seem to be sorted, they seem to be slapped together. NOT ALL just some.

i think people like chris forsberg, rhys, sam, jr, tanner, and those types of drivers/teams could run 2 events a month.

What's there to prep? Assuming nothing breaks and you don't hit anything, all I can see that you have to do is mount new tires on esome wheels, wash the car to get the tire off and hire two asian hookers and a donkey if you won; that shouldn't take a month.
And do the pro drivers go home between rounds? If they took that out they might be able to have more than one event a month.
i could see where one event a month would be more than enought, say you live in one end of the country, and the next event is in the other, thats AT LEAST 4-5 days worth of driving to get there, i assume you would be out there for roughtly 3-5 days for the event, then 4-5 days return trip, plus repairing the car washing the car, getting tires mouted, and what ever else you gotta do when your home

nascar does it ever week. it can be done. i would like to see more events but i don't think every week is the way to go. i think a kansas event should be added.

you're assuming A LOT there ;). if nothing breaks one round you still need to go over the car to make sure it won't break the next. a lot of things can go wrong when you beat the car to death every time you drive it.

Like you would know...... :lol:
