Re: Interest In A CA or West Coast Sprint Wee
 

the thread on scrafan talked mostly about the 360's doing a sprint week due to the high number of cars that ran on one particular saturday a few weeks ago. i'm not discouraging a "usac national california sprint week" but the problem that i see is that the west coast fans and drivers want it to happen during the summer...at least i do (i'm from california). there hasn't been much racing to go around this summer and i feel that's what many west coasters want to see. understandably, it would make it near impossible for anybody from back east to come out at that time. what makes it tough here on the west coast is that the drivers don't do this as a profession where they are racing four nights a week. many of them go to school or have jobs which makes it tough to get time off, especially in the fall months.

it wouldn't bother me to see the california sprint week to be 360's as long as many of the 410 guys found rides. the 410 idea is obviously ideal, however, it's much tougher to pull off. the promoter at santa maria, chirs kearns, has been vital to the 360's success here on the west coast this past year. they are growing in popularity pretty fast. there has always been good car counts at ventura (30 or so). now with the usac 360 program growing to about 25 cars, and victorville getting 15 or so, it's safe to say that a 360 california sprint week would draw 50 plus cars.

just my left coast POV,

Why should the midwest teams go out west again when the west coasters won't come out east. If you want to make it just for the west coast teams that would be fine.

Victorvill runs a open engine rule about 75 percent of those guys are 410's.

good point ronnie, i forgot about that.

racing is a hobby on the west coast not a profession. i would love for there to be opportunities to run four nights a week out here, but the sad reality is that there isn't.
