They seem to be going to more bullrings now than before. I don’t have data to back that up but High Limit has certainly had their fair share of quarter miles so far and the WoO also seems more open...

The line getting into 1 to avoid the ruts was not for the faint at heart.

Bacon turned it up a notch or 2 when Gravel got beside him. Good to see him repeat.

Get there really early on race day. Others can tell you where to park, in order to get out easier. But your best bet is getting there at least 3-4 hours before the green flag.

A lot of people were looking for the WoO to have low car counts last weekend at Pevely and they actually had higher counts than the previous year. Eldora might be a different animal but with several...

Hulbert is a long time staple of ASCS, Chili Bowl, Oskaloosa Front Row Challenge etc…

He’s a terrific get for USAC. If you look back on this board, people complained heavily about La Porta, people...

One of the best things that has come out in the last decade or so is by and large most of the large dirt series across the board are committed to running efficient shows.

I count Flemington as one but understand the argument for counting as two.

In the examples given by the original poster, I would also count them as one track. But to each their own.

It’s big for High Limit as once everything is settled and the newness wears off, you need a good product. And Brad plus a couple of All Stars wasn’t going to move the needle. Rico helps legitimize...

Purses have gone up a lot for Central Pa sprints as well in the past few years (at least winners share) but that has also brought about higher admission prices. Which of course has led to crowds...

Didn’t seem like a lot of successful events in 2023, they are probably learning on the go where they can be successful and get good fan and car counts.

Agree, I don’t think the Usac sprints are in anyway a filler for the program. It’s billed “Let’s Race Two” for a reason.

The sprints and the LMs paid the same purse at Charlotte. The sprints run before the late models because of how abrasive the track is on tires from what I recall.

This race has tradition as well. Baps (formerly Susquehanna) has had the last race in the area for many years, this was the first time it paid really well. PA fans tend to reward promoters for paying...

A change in the tastes of most dirt racing fans. Sadly no matter how much exposure Usac gets or how good the racing usually is, casual fans like winged racing more.

They brought the top 3 in points to Charlotte and introduced them to the crowd, I can’t imagine they’d do that and not bring them back. Toyota must be giving them decent support.

With an $80k purse, 2/3rds full at Putnamville doesn’t cut it. And not every winged sprint car race in Indiana will have backing from Flo. The All Stars ran into the same issue when they tried...
