I supposed that 1:22 minute show during Gas City sprint week where we beat the tornadoes and had the semi transfers/feature lineup to the trailer before the cars were off the track from the semi...
This was the first Indiana Sprint Week race I'd ever attended and I was shocked to know that I could buy a 50/50 ticket and roam the pits until the cars hit the track. He did so many little things...
I was flagging in Lincoln, IL when Sam brought the MSCS Steel Block series in for one of the first times...I believe that was one of the first times Chase sat in a non-wing car at 12 or 13 years...
I know a lot of you will vomit...but the best season of racing that I've ever been a part of was a Hobby Stock class on DOT tires. IMCA inverted point average (same system the RaceSaver cars use...
I'll put the over/under at time saved for two-car qualifying at 8-minutes...for folks that are efficient with single-car qualifying, multiple car qualifying just usually makes people feel...
Southern Iowa Speedway in Oskaloosa still runs on Wednesday nights. They're the only track that I can think of that runs a weekly show on Wednesday nights. I think they're moderately successful for...
Leader plus 1 at the scoring loop unless it's the checkered...leader across the scoring line (the front of the flagstand, not the scoring loop on the last lap) ends the race, then it split scores...
$20 isn't the price point for a weekly show...let alone $25...you would get folks that might be curious in the beginning...but you show me a weekly track that charges $25 grandstands every week every...
I think the Big Cars are a different animal...they are at their own peril to lose laps and continue...they're not delaying the show by 60-120 seconds and necessarily causing extra cautions just to...
Think about this...NASCAR model...sign a big billion dollar TV deal...the $$$ trickles down to the sanction, the tracks and the teams - not all at the same percentage of course. IndyCar model...signs...
Ideally, you run like you have rain coming...even if you don't have rain coming...then you can slow down if you feel like you need to and you're not out of practice if you actually do have rain...
I remember going to a National Sprint Tour race in McCool Junction, NE. They had about 800 people in the stands. I was bellyaching about the crowd and how I must be seeing a financial loser and a...
ARCA Midwest Tour is the closest to the old ASA. Gregg McKarns does a great job with that deal - you might recognize him as the new guy at Angell Park...
I posted a similar reply to a fb post...granted Bob Keselowski won the first one that I can remember...Mom and Dad have seen every show since 77...so we've seen the rise and the fall. Don't want it...
Everyone criticized the Fast 32 format with qualifying races - as I recall, it was a "get with the times" argument...now we're wanting to add heats to give the 48th fastest guy/gal a better shot at...
I'm late to the party on this...any other questions or lack of clarity on this? I'll suggest to the studio team that they make a video explaining it like the SuperCross crowd does...but I don't think...
