Re: Drivers paying for pit pass?

The $$ has to come from somewhere if purses are expected to stay at the same level.

Re: Social media is a scapegoat for unsuccessful racing ende

I think 'scapegoat' is the perfect word for this. Have I seen my share of bashing online be it forums, Twitter, Facebook, etc? YES. We ALL have. Now, usually a reader of the bad comments can usually...

Re: Tonights midget show

If this was the set-in-stone format next year, I'd be all in! I love it. Outside the box. EXACTLY what the sport needs.


THAT is different, and probably JUST what this event needs. It's like a...

Re: No WoO at Kokomo in 2016??

Wonder if the promoters will pick up on the "crossover" idea and add $$ incentive for shedding the wings if the schedule allows ie: Shane Stewart @ the Burg.

Although it was an unpopular idea...

Re: Midget Races at Banker's Life

Deegan ran a Midget for Kruseman in 2011 in Tulsa. To put it simply, the respect level that he had for us dirt guys considerably jumped up. This is a guy who does CRAZY stuff on a motorcycle 60+ feet...

Re: Kevin Swindell injury

I think that if we could determine what in the rear end broke to possibly cause the QC or Torque Tube to even make contact with the seat is a step in the right direction.

Obviously solid frame...

Re: Forced Induction Open Wheel Racers?

Hank Arnold already traveled this road. A 301 Chevy with a 4-71 blower. The Twister.

Re: An interesting comparison

Interesting point on the cost comparison!

But as far as getting butts in the seats, small community involvement is at least the most effective step in the right direction. All those billboards...

I didn't mention the liability thing earlier. But I could read the headline now. "12 year old killed in winged death machine. Congress to ban dirt racing."
