As some of you may have noticed in the recent television coverage on Speed Channel, CORR only has about 7 or 8 trucks in the Pro-4 class (two Bladwins, Douglas, LeDuc, Renezeder, Greaves, McCrossan, and Drews). Those are pretty low numbers to start a race, much less finishing a race sometimes with only two trucks running, is pretty sad. Rumor has it that the class is in jeopardy of being shut down if they don't get a higher truck count.
So what would it take to get more trucks to come out and race in CORR's Pro-4 class??
Now I know, the obvious thing right up front is the cost. Them things ain't cheap to build or to run, but then again neither is a Trophy Truck. Is it because the races are so far away from the west coast? If there were one or two or more races out there, do you think it would draw more teams into competeing? Or is 4 wheel drive not that popular of a race vehicle? Seems like most Trophy Trucks are 2-wheel drive.
I obviously don't race a Pro-4, but I do go to all the CORR races, and I'm concerned that we are going to lose one of our biggest draws for spectators if we lose the Pro-4 class. I'd like to get a good thread going and hear what everybody thinks, and maybe someone from CORR will read this post and maybe re-evaluate the class and the series.
Thanks,
