Re: A question for the race track chasers

Unfortunately, no. According to the track chaser guidelines, just seeing wheel pack/warm-ups doesn’t count. You have to see an actual race to count the track. A race being two or more cars where a...

Not mentioned yet is the scenario of changing track surfaces…

If you’ve seen racing on the same track, at different times, with different surfaces, one dirt, one pavement, you count as two tracks....

I follow the Trackchaser rule book:

1. Track within a track. Yes. They count separately. You only count tracks separately IF you see a race on them. Examples: Salem - Big half with a 1/4 mile on...

Paducah should be ok with car counts on July, 12th. The 13th is pretty crowded in terms of scheduling in the region. Farmington (regular show), Paragon (FAST), and Red Hill (Maverick) are all...

Been to Kamp a few times. Saw some good races. Like others have mentioned, it’s just in a bad location.

I stopped to take a look at the place in 2001 after a USAC race in Joliet. The track...

I heard WRG CEO Brian Carter on the Wing Nation podcast last week. He said that the WoO was definitely going to be in California "a little bit". After Labor Day. I'd guess So Cal (Perris) maybe up...

It’s all speculation at this point but I also can envision a “series within a series” schedule with races paying the winner $20,000 and up High Limit shows with their own point fund. Teams that are...

I thought the same. The ASCoC is on Volusia’s schedule for 2024 (Feb 7th and 8th). However, with today’s announcement, I’m starting to think those Volusia dates might be the first casualty.

Not mentioned anywhere is that the Midwest Sprint Car Series was actually started by Chase Stockon’s grandfather, Sam Stockon, before the Helfrich’s acquired the series.

I’d estimate the crowd at 4-500. I knew running this show on Friday might be tough, but understood the logic not wanting to run against Lawrenceburg’s USAC show Saturday. Temps dropped and the wind...

Just walked through the gate here at LPS and looked over the pit area. Unless some of the bomber teams have big enclosed haulers, I count over 40 winged sprint cars here right now.

Danny Smith said he’ll be there Friday night.

Harley Burns and Ivan Glotzbach had a little winged exhibition to promote the show Saturday at LPS so I would assume they’ll be there Friday as well. ...

A few of my thoughts on the weekend…

Hats off to Logan Seavey. He becomes the third driver in Eldora history to win three USAC division mains in one night during the 4-Crown. He joins at elite...

I was at Knoxville last night. Just got home. The grandstands were completely sold out a week before Saturday’s race. I showed up without a ticket. I bought one from a scalper but even the scalpers...

Last night was my first time back to Circle City since 2021. The last time I was there, I parked on an access road near the pit gate. Yes, there was a little wood barrier there. I just thought it...

I was there. BIG crowd. I had bought an advance GA ticket through the Ticket Hoss app. By doing so, my GA ticket doubled as a pit pass. Still had to wait in line until they opened the gates at 4....

Digging into the memory bank again for these…

Capital Speedway, Holts Summit MO (10/22/94): Back in the day Holts Summit was kind of an open wheel hot spot. There are probably some on this board...

I was there that night too. It was an MSCS show but it was in 2008 (6/27/08). Robert Ballou won the feature that night. The driver who was injured was Kenny Biro.
