I'd agree with that statement. John Condren (Chumpcar lead guy) is promoting the racing more than the themes. Don't get me wrong...still plenty of silly themed cars and people dressed up as...something.
Penalties were much, much more lenient. If you went off and caused no harm to anyone else or yourself...no penalty. Just get back on track and go.
Very few cautions, very little contact, most everyone was well behaved on track. Good racing for sure.
From an organization standpoint, LeMons has it down cold and Chump is a little disorganized. Tech and registration were not terribly smooth, and I can't imagine if they had to deal with more 100 cars like LeMons.
I think Chumpcar and LeMons can co-exist, but I'd like to see how one of the Chump events pulls in the car counts that LeMons does.
