Re: 500 Sprint car tour

I have Flo and I'm a casual pavement open wheel fan. I would have watched the pavement sprint races on Flo (but not traveled hundreds of miles to see live). I had no idea they had even raced yet. ...

Has anyone seen one? My intelligence and technical capabilities have been exhausted and I still can't find one. Looking to know where a seat is before I pick one.

Dear Flo:

Please do not let them cram 20 minutes of racing into 4.5 hours of "coverage."

Sincerely,

Every person in history who has ever seen a race car.

How about if tracks have the work area timer displayed for all to see. Like the scale weight at Eldora. Then everyone will know when the clock starts and stops and will make the (obvious, and...

The "favorites" are spread rather equally amongst nights. Knowing they are all going to the B or the A Saturday, this makes Saturday night better, since all the "favorites" will be there at the end....

Since Knoxville HOF is only for wing people, where do non-wing people get recognized for their lifelong accomplishments/contributions?

It's unfortunate that 99% of Californians give the rest of them a bad name.

We know the tracks are getting paid by Flo to stream their races. We don't know how much. It's doubtful it is equal to a ticket price for each person watching. So could you claim that is lost...

You can get a set of wings for as little as $800 I bet and can spend upwards of $1500. I know one guy paid $1100 to wrap his car and wings two years ago.

I know this isn't South Dakota Open Wheel, so I figured I'd post on the next best place for non-wing and midget info. Matt Wood said ticket sales were (very poor) for the Huset's event coming up. ...

The link says 1/4 midgets on a half mile track on the 1st. That will be an exciting show. Nothing about regional midgets that I see.

There's a track near me that gives fuel vouchers (for their fuel) as part of payout each night, and they give points for buying things at the track. Track owners are genius, and racers are dumb...

Schedule said hot laps at 6. There were cars in the chute and they came on the radio and said "Ok, it's 6 o'clock." And cars pulled onto the track. 98 cars in 3 divisions. One late model punted...

The title of the post was greatest driver. It doesn't say most successful driver. Given the success he has had in as many variations of motorsports in very short timeframes, I'd have to agree. I...

Looks like the concern about car counts was legit. Will there even be a full field for Gas City and Kokomo? Makes it hard to not go to Ohio to spectate if there's only going to be 3 heats and a...

Does anyone know where the loop is buried at Kokomo? That could make all the difference.
