Really enjoy this series here in the east. The guys that are racing it continue to improve every time they run. The leadership needs to step up over the winter and provide a more solid, feasible schedule for next year. Too many long breaks in between events. The teams will improve even more with consistent track time and the fans will come when they see more events. Can’t tell you how many times I heard people say when do these guys race? The last show was good but they disappeared for a while. Rome wasn’t built in a day, so let’s hope the winter season provides time to strengthen the schedule. This is the only real nonwing racing we have out here so I’m hopeful it can flourish a little. Congrats to Steven Drevicki on his second title. He is smooth and consistent. Great job by his whole team. Fingers crossed for an even better 2020.

Maybe adding a race or two at Path Valley would be a good move for next year’s schedule. Kutztown (Action Track) and Lanco are pretty small but might be worth consideration also.

Are you trying to say that the leadership is turning races down?

The leadership needs to attend more 305 / 358 / 360 races in Central PA and recruit some additional racers.....only in the movies the saying"if you build it they will come"......in the real world, you gotta work to develop a new division. booking races is great but what keeps you getting repeat booking and new tracks is a good solid field of cars.

Path Valley wants to showcase their super sportsman guys. They don’t want usacec taking cars from them.

Never said that. It is my opinion leadership has a conflicted focus. You can’t race and run a 360 wing series and also run a 360 non wing series. That is the issue.

Exactly! As I said leadership needs to focus 100% on this series not part time on this and part time on a dying winged series. Too many conflicts. You are spot on Gene with your assessment. Thanks for all you do in racing and especially your desire to get non wing sprints moving forward in this area.
