USAC East Coast sprint car series
 

Re: USAC East Coast sprint car series
 

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?

Re: USAC East Coast sprint car series
 

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.

the big d/grandview weekend car counts should lead to more weekend doubles i would love to see trailway/lincoln and 2 or 3 big d/grandview weekends next year

Re: USAC East Coast sprint car series
 

41 different drivers raced with USAC east, they averaged 19.63 cars over the 11 races they were able to run. Lost three to rain.

I like to see a race or two with the Wingless Super Sportsman several of the drivers race in both, also be a cool program if they ran with the USAC midgets on their eastern swing at a couple of the bigger tracks too.

Re: USAC East Coast sprint car series
 

Thank you to everyone who has supported the series this season. It was one of great growth and improvement. The series is working very hard to have more races next season and the leadership is working hard. Contradictory to what some on here would like to think or "think they know" about.

I don’t envy you trying to book races when the super sportsman run for half the purse and your drivers support them.

So tell us what we don’t understand. You it make sound as if you are part of leadership so go on and explain what’s going on please. I’ve been told how hard leadership is working on both this series and a similar winged series. That isn’t hard work that is conflicted work in my opinion. The non wing series has potential while the winged series is a dying deal. Can’t make a strong schedule when hampered by not booking some wknds due to the winged series. Hopefully a non conflicted effort pays off this winter and these guys get to run more often.

Re: USAC East Coast sprint car series
 

Thanks again for the interest. Its obvious that you have an issue with how things are being done, but the series will carry on and have an even better year next season!! Any personal issue you may have with anyone related to the series and your tirades on multiple social networking websites only does more damage than the good you think it may. See you at the track in 2020.

Just a curious question. Isn’t BOSS and FAST run by the same person? Wouldn’t that be conflicted work? In my humble opinion trying to kill the winged series isn’t the best way to recruit drivers and sponsors to your new series.

Never suggested killing the winged series. It’s dying all by itself.
