My son/driver Jeremy is all grown up now and moved from St. Louis to Indy for work- so for 2018 we're going to park the micro for all but a few dates and concentrate on which direction to go for...
To me, most open wheel race cars, regardless of age, asphalt, dirt, whatever, are like women. They come in all styles and shapes and sizes and the vast majority of them are beautiful. Some you just...
There's a lot of new information coming out about concussions in adolescents, mostly from football studies. Kids have a higher chance of having long lasting effects from brain injuries that adults...
I haven't seen it mentioned here, but there's a safety seminar at PRI on Friday from 1 to 5. I think it is specifically covering sprints and midgets. Info is on the website. Terry Trammel is one of...
I'm curious to see what USAC comes up with. My concern with making safety changes based on a single incident. There are many different things that can go wrong in a racecar.
Considering the crowd sizes at Indy this year, I'm amazed that they're not dropping Nascar instead. I feel like these two series are moving in opposite directions.
I think everyone is underestimating the weather effects from this weekend's shows. The St. Louis area has been brutally hot, and there was every reason to assume that rainouts would be the winner...
We will be at the Highbanks Hustle looking for complete race-ready cars capable of running up front. I know of a few cars that are available but PM me if you'll have something for me to look at....
Sorry, completely sold out at the end of 2014 while my driver goes to college. That's why I'm trying to figure out what to do now that he'll be back for next season.
The way I see it, regardless of the rules, you'll never contain costs. The money just goes somewhere else. Patrick Bruns is now three for three in feature wins with Illini. If you want the same motor...
So now instead of an afternoon's work and a few bucks in materials to remove my gears, I got to find someone who can CNC machine me a whole new selector drum that shifts 1-N-2-3-2-3-2 so I can sneak...
All the OEM engines will spin faster than they can breathe- I'm guessing the bottom end will take 7500 or so on any of these without issue. The real issue is spending that much time bouncing on the...
Did anyone else notice that the newly revised POWRi rules that include the RPM limits also added the Honda K24 at 2533cc to match USAC? I honestly thought this was the bigger news. As the rules are...
I'm curious, how are they supposed to tell the difference between 'live streaming' and just plain old recording? We tend to take on board GoPro footage and record from the stands for 'game film'. We...
I sure hope everyone is right and this thing takes off. I'm just not convinced they'll ever be a car count to match the current enthusiasm. As much as sitting on the sidelines another season is worse...
That's kind of the point... Affordability is relative. If the costs are close though, (and I think they are), why wouldn't I run micros? I can run with POWRi, plus run 10 good money shows for the...
Yeah, thanks but no thanks... I realize we're not doing this for the money, but there's no way I can run for that kind of purse. Most weekly micro shows have a better payout.
