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. ...

BC 39 Seating Chart

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.

Re: Chili Bowl Running Days

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....

Re: FloRacing Replays

My renewal hit this week and I have the gray'd out videos on the computer since the renewal as well. I contacted Flo (they got right back to me) and ultimately said my renewal went through roku this...

Non-Wing HOF

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

Re: California small engine ban

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

Re: Mike’s Elephant

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...

Re: Wing vs. Non-Wing

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.

Huset's, Indiana

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. ...

Re: USAC Regional Midgets at Duquoin

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.

Re: Hoosier TireRule

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...

Is it mandatory, or discretionary, or what on reporting IOW’ers at a fender car race? And what is the penalty for such attendance? I might need to take his dirty ugly purple hat and bribe him not...

Re: Kyle Larson is the greatest driver of all time

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...

Re: Indiana midget week

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...
