We weren’t in attendance, but watched the Kokomo High Limit event on Flo. It looked like a GREAT crowd, and up until the track took rubber about halfway through the feature, had great, competitive...
I’ll say that I haven’t attended Toledo or Winchester, but watched both on Flo. Kody Swanson has just been in another zip code. His mastery of the Silver Crown cars on pavement is truly amazing. ...
We’ll see the rest of the story tonight. With some guys at Eldora and 3 tracks (LPS, Lawrenceburg and Paragon) running sprints in IN tonight, cars will be spread thin.
Terre Haute just posted on FB that grandstand admission is $31, infield $5 off or $26. No mention of coolers.
Hopefully you can see the picture of the post from THAT on FB
You realize that Lincoln Park, Paragon and Lawrenceburg were all able to run last night. All are dirt tracks in Indiana. Just because one area has 3 straight days of rain does not mean that the...
Probably your best bet is to park in what is commonly referred to as “The Coke Lot” which is on the NW side of the Speedway, across the street (Georgetown Road) from turn 4. Since you obviously...
I find it interesting that while winged racing is in the midst of POSSIBLE power struggle, crowds for the WoO shows have set at least 3 attendance records at tracks. Volusia, Kennedale and 81...
This is a PSA for any of you considering going to the Terre Haute/Red Hill USAC Midwest opener weekend April 5/6. If you need a motel room, you had better make it SOON. Thanks to the solar eclipse...
Looks to me like WRG just bought a feeder system to the WoO. The regional ASCS series feed the ASCS 360 National Series, which then becomes a stepping stone to the WoO. Seems like a very smart move...
We just returned from Florida. We watched the 4 nights of WoO at Volusia, the 2 nights of USAC at Volusia and the 2 nights of USAC at BRP/Ocala. The truth of the matter is the poorest attended night...
Ocala (and for that matter, Volusia too) has dirt that is more sandy than a typical Midwestern track. IMO, Ocala/BRP has a much smaller "window" where it is tacky and not dry or slimy. It also seems...
Based on the two nights at Volusia, I thought Bryan (Brian? Not sure which it is) Hulbert for USAC did a fine job. Smooth, informative, knowledgeable, and seems to know when to comment and when not...
We attended Volusia both nights. The USAC Sprint Cars were well received by the stock car people. I overheard quite a few comments about how much fun they were to watch.
While many tracks struggle with attendance, even on special shows, Volusia Speedway Park set an all time attendance record last night for the DIRT/UMP/ WoO Gator Nationals finale. Walk up General...
That main stretch crash on the restart in the WoO feature was NASTY, but thankfully wasn’t as bad as it could have been. When you need two wreckers working together to lift a car off of two others...
I know, I know….WoO is wings, so nobody cares, but compliments to the WoO and DIRT/UMP officials, racers and crews at Volusia last night. They started about 5:40 PM with hot laps and the final...
While that may be a part of the decision, DuQuoin had a concert on the track in 2023 that night of the race. Being able to schedule two events the same day on the facility allows them to make more...
I can remember in the 70’s showing up at Terre Haute and yes, Eldora at 11:00 AM for noon hot laps, and the feature getting the checkers at 7:00 PM. In today’s world, any show that lasts longer than...
As a sanctioning organization USAC goes where the promoters want them. In those instances where USAC promotes a show, they are going to go where they have the opportunity to make the most money.
