Re: Must Watch

Living in the land of wings (which thankfully is changing some). late models, and multiple classes of modifieds I am amazed that the majority of fans leaving couldn't tell you who won for various...

Re: POWRi West Midget League - 2024 Schedule

glad to see them at Nevada. But then again there will be winged cars too so probably will take rubber by the heats.

Live 15 Miles south of Lakeside Speedway in Kansas and 35 west of valley Speedway in Missouri. But don't go to either that much anymore. Go to more races in Indiana than either. favorite track and...

Re: Maverick Sprint Car Series

Wonder how many of the Allstar teams that may not be interested in chasing a national series may a new home with this series or at least hit many of the races.

Re: Alex Bright

In the slow motion video it sort of looks like Grant's tail hit Swanson's front tire. Maybe it's just the angle.

Re: Who thinks it’s better?

It's called a sprint race with sprint cars for a reason.
To me the days when the crew chief and the driver walked the track and then went back and set the car up the way they thought would be the...

Re: 6/10/2023 - Lawrenceburg Speedway Results

Amazes me how people only talk about how much a race pays to win.

When I see this type of conversation, I think about the guys running in the middle and back of the field. To most of them getting...

Re: No return visit to Huset's for USAC

Interesting you left Missouri (and Lakeside in Kansas City). They are 2nd only to Indiana in number of non wing races according to the statistics pages.

The fire department actually stopped ticket...

Re: When and Where Did You See Your 1st Sprint Car Race

Couldn't swear to it but I am sure my first race would have been super modifieds at Sportsman's Speedway in Marshall, Missouri sometime in the late 1950s early 1960s. My dad would have been in the...

Re: Is this the end of THAT?

Re: NW Nationals

The fire Department shut down ticket sales at Lakeside Speedway in Kansas City for the Ron Shuman Classic.
