The only state/track open is Arizona Speedway. Nevada and New Mexico are still shutdown like Cali. Vado has yet to be approved for races in 2021. Would not make sense for the series to travel west...

I always find the torsion front vs. coil front an interesting one. Neither is better, it really comes down to preference. I have always preferred coil over, mainly because that is most familiar to...

I dont care if your kid is the next best thing, I do not think you should be in a sprint car or any full size car till at least 16. I see it at all levels though. At our micro tracks there are 11...

I dont like qualifying. I like the two heat format with or without passing points. I think too much weight is put into qualifying. To be honest, when I go to a race I want to see racing. One car...

My point is not eliminating or not allowing current engines, but to have less rules in hopez that inspires innovation and growth in midget racing. My underlying point is midget racing is essentially...

Thats the only positive. The rule itself is stupid and will do nothing to better the sport. But atleast 3 sanctions now have the stupid rule.

Idea is good as fans and racers need more interaction at the track, but best if before races. We had a local asphalt track that would have an autograph session each race with all classes of the cars....

In California almost all series have had this rule. It is even at the micro level. It sucks and some have tried to get the series and tracks to move away from this rule, but the revenue always wins....

Wow, great news, this will solve all the wrongs of racing. This should not only lead to huge car counts on dirt but bring back pavement racing to its prime. So good to see concentration within the...
