I'm glad the O'Connors took the chance on opening Gas City, for any or as many nights as they see fit. I only wish my schedule allowed me to be there more often.

Thank you to all those who attended the race Tuesday night. It was the only non wing sprint car date on our 2016 schedule, and it was nice to see the teams that came in for the event.

Hey, a Christmas Eve hat trick here on the IOW. Three in a row for me.

The pavement as of Spring 2015 is 24-30" below the track surface. The quick scale is to look at the "yard block" wall system...

I appreciate both your and Nate's comments about Plymouth. Nate is likely on point with the Outlaws date that prepping a track for wing 900hp cars and USAC midgets is a tall order. But the best...

Plymouth is running the 602 Pro Sprint class which is sanctioned by Dirtcar, which is cahoots with the World of Outlaws. Wing cars.

Had Plymouth gone it on their own there may have been a better...

Plymouth was the first track sanctioned to run the Pro Sprint class. The plan is to make things right before expanding them to other tracks. Glen Ridge Speedway on the East Coast (NY I believe) is...

Plymouth Speedway will have the WoO sprint cars Friday, May 13.

It is not an SLS promotion.

There is talk of USAC midgets also on that night, but nothing on the USAC schedule to that effect as...

The Rumble mixes up the divisions pretty well so that the 600s and midgets don't smoke out the place. The karts and quarters don't hurt matters any, and when the doors are able to be open the...

It was weird the way the commentators mentioned Larson was closing on the leader a second a lap, then suddenly the caution came out. Larson had a bad restart and that was that.

Does that $25 include shipping?

And how soon can I get a set if I order this weekend?

The racing was solid from top to bottom this year. I've spent $25 for a lot less racing than this.

I had heard Raney put out an offer to take any free dirt that could be available. My guess is he's not filling in the gator pit off the backchute (although that has needed to happen for years, and...

I'm not sure what a pavement wing would look like. Are you thinking a multi stage wing? Is there something progressive in side plates we could do?
