Re: Usac: Mitchell sweeps perris usac cra opener

Kudos to whoever fixed or adjusted the PA system.... I could actually hear Scott even when cars when running and didn't have to resort to my phone to figure out who was driving what for the new year.

I thought Cocopah had a streaming deal with another outfit (Dirtvision?) and that's why Flo didn't stream the CRA races at Cocopah. I think that was the case in 2022 and it may still be the case.

Re: Usac: Thunder strikes twice! Malcolm wins second-in-a-ro

The race was excellent, and the crowd was decent for a change (no streaming of course). Sprint car and mini-sprint car counts not so good. Some regulars are in the midwest at the moment, but still...

I went to Hanford last night. Great race, but I'm not surprised by the serious concern... it feels like the CRA is in a death spiral.

Re: USAC National Sprint Cars - 2023 Schedule

Is that official? I haven't heard anything and assume Perris is waiting on that dam project before confirming any dates.

Brownstown paid $1000 to win for late models in the mid to late 80's I seem to remember. I don't remember the admission price.

His brother Frank drove midgets in the 80s and 90s. I think I saw him run the Hoosier Dome race. I thought Cruz drove them as well back then, but I don't see any references to that.

Have you tried to reach Wayne Simmons? He owned Twister until about 2005 or so. He appears to be building cars and may be of help. My brother ran a Competition Welding copy of a 2002 or so...

Re: No Andretti ride for Alonso

I would assume that's nothing more than Honda brass saying "thanks" for the all the bad-mouthing he did about the Honda F1 engine in the recent past.
