Re: 2023 Paragon Speedway Schedule

Joe Spiker got a USAC sprint car date because he played nice and didn't schedule a big sprint car race when there was already going to be one 40 minutes away at Bloomington. It looks like Paragon's...

Re: USAC Return to Knoxville

That'd be my guess as well.

It should be noted that they tried that date before and then moved it (August, I believe). For me personally, it's tough to travel the weekend following the momentous...

Re: New Xtreme Midget Race Director

They were, indeed, both very good races. What I'm saying is that, obviously, the business model did not work, hence, neither will return in 2023. World Racing Group (WoO) has decided that Xtreme...

USF Pro 2000,

USF Juniors (sanctioned by USAC),

Re: Usac: 100 laps to hangtown glory; 3 nights of usac midge

Yeah, but it's like the TA DA accompanies a bunny rabbit stuffed animal instead of the real thing. It's cute, but not nearly as impressive.

But, heck, you knew that... :D

Re: Usac: 100 laps to hangtown glory; 3 nights of usac midge

Currently #1 on my bucket list. I pray to make it next year.

I hope this west coast swing can be/stay successful in to the future. It's a highlight of the season, for sure.

I included that.

It's a day trip.

i.e. You sleep in the toter home for a couple hours, at most.

Re: Usac: Usac midget driver spotlight: Justin grant

I was hoping to see Brad Sweet as well, being that it's his home track. I suppose there's still a chance for both as pre-entry isn't required, I believe.

Re: High Limit Series. Interview with Brad Sweet. 45 Minutes

I believe Cogan was in a Penske (somehow), so there's that. But I agree with your premise there.
