Why did the USAC press releases from Richie Murray stop appearing on IOW?

Good question. I'm still trying to find out why Bryson was dropped from 3rd to 16th.

Probably USAC got tired of reading all the b*tching about them on here....thats my guess anyway..

A really solid hypothesis

Kaylee finished 3rd at WWTR 16th at Springfield

Pretty solid guess. I know I’d do anything possible to stay away from contact with people that support the series but have lost tolerance for the inept leadership. Oops I did it again. 🙃

Re: No Springfield Silver Crown Post from USAC
 

Maybe something to do with the redesigned website and it’s not linked to IOW? Thought it was strange that the Redhill cancellation and Silver Crown results weren’t posted automatically.

I hope they're not that damn sensitive!

Re: No Springfield Silver Crown Post from USAC
 

While I agree some may have run Richie and others off like they've done hundreds of posters over the years.

This is probably not the case.

My superior Bacon powered intellect, tells me the NEW USAC website no longer automatically post press releases here.

Re: No Springfield Silver Crown Post from USAC
 

After those snoozers this weekend, I understand why there are no posts. Now I will say I only got to watch on Flo. NO they were not showing enough in the back. I cannot believe how small the crowd was at Springfield. Great Car count.

I'm not surprised. The crowd has aged and new fans only care about NASCAR or wing racing. The Crown race was great, but mot having a TV deal and losing guys like Courtney, Windom, Kofoid, etc to wing racing doesn't help.

I'm sure the Springfield race was much better in person. I know the WWTR race had to be better. The sound and feel, let alone being able to really see the speed.

Re: No Springfield Silver Crown Post from USAC
 

the sunday crowd looked even smaller

I enjoyed the race and yes it is always better in person but some can't make it to the track in-person. Walking the pits, watching the crews make adjustments, the smell of the engines, the aroma of gear lube, that first pass by you at speed, the engines having the throttle let off going into the corner, the rooster tails flying in the corner when they get into the fluff, the eyes of the drivers moments before going out to qualify, the impromptu crew meetings about what to change to get more speed, the smell of the midway food vendors, the gasp of the crowd when a car gets high in the corner, the booming announcer calling the race.

It's all part of the experience of going to the track that TV or streaking will never be able to either replicate or accurately be shown. They are things one must experience to fully appreciate.

IDK. Streaking can be pretty exciting and exhilarating!

My heart has been warmed by this new happening. I have vented about spoilers posted on here thanks to Richie and the USAC auto populate system a few times. Why said spoilers from USAC cannot be put in a separate folder/thread still baffles my open wheel mind.

Perhaps this is an issue related to USAC's new site, or perhaps my comments pertaining to spoilers have FINALLY fallen upon ears that are not deaf. Although I think the former is the answer, I will relish this moment in IOW history wherein IOW does not give USAC an avenue to post spoilers.

As for now, I guess all opposed to my stance are just going to have to go to the USAC website to read about the happenings from race-to-race.

I won't win this in the long haul, but I am loving it in the short haul. Spoiler posters and fans of them, I fart in your general direction!

It's like the races never happened if we don't even post about them/talk around the modern day water cooler...

I'll never understand going on an open wheel website and thinking you could avoid results...

If the race winner's name is not posted in the title of the thread, all would be fine. Other motorsports sites I am on have that as the golden rule and some have a completely separate forum to note that the threads started there contain spoilers.

For example, threads for the for the upcoming Kokomo Smackdown:

"Night 1 Smackdown results - spoilers" vice "Brady Bacon wins Night 1 of Smackdown".

Gives a guy a chance to watch the event a day or so later when he has the time and he doesn't have to ayoid IOW altogether.

I know...deaf ears.

Re: No Springfield Silver Crown Post from USAC
 

I go on NSSN, RACER, Jayski, TJ, and Hoseheads more than once a day (in addition to iow)...all of them include winner's names...and if there is a series I want to avoid the winner, I do not go on those pages (that might have it)...

Re: No Springfield Silver Crown Post from USAC
 

Maybe, without the post from USAC, we will have to check the website and will or will not miss the update on the Sprint car points / and possible fine...(I honestly don't even know for sure who was maybe guilty of the weight deal).

If you're worried about "Spoilers" don't go to IOW until you've watched the replay. Its easy...
As far as I'm concerned, if they post after the race is over, its not a "spoiler"
Lots of us come to this Website to keep informed :23:

Re: No Springfield Silver Crown Post from USAC
 

Yeah Grant kind of stole the show, but there was really good racing a little farther back. Cockrum was really coming on strong. Kyle Steffens had what was one of his better runs. They had a B main.

Going most every year, I actually thought the crowd was up and pretty good

Got my annual Vose handmade corndog, those things are money!

Can't wait for DuQuoin. Yeah I wish it was under the light too. But the Silver Crown series is truly special Americana racing with some really good young shoes in it right now. Thanks to all the owners keeping this series strong.

I understand that all the way, Jim. My point is as long as the "result/winner" is not in the title of the thread, that way I can still come to IOW, see the Picture of the Day, see if my good bud flagboy55 has started another thread for all of us to ponder, debate, and think about, see who has unfortunately passed away, see what the upcoming car count might be somewhere, etc.

jdull99 just posted a new thread with this title: https://www.usacracing.com/news/koko...rint-car-resul

Now THAT is how I hope things are posted! Thank you, Jason! No names as to who won. If you wish to read, click and go!

Apparently the sprint car end of the USAC website is not auto populating to IOW either?

Re: No Springfield Silver Crown Post from USAC
 

emailed Ritchie at usac and asked why no post on IOW. He said the Bill had did something when he set up the site to link usac to it and with the new usac site no one has figured out how to get it back. Hope this helps.

The arca series is a shell of what it used to be and frankly isn’t worth the price of admission imo. It used to be the race of the year for me with 30 to 40 cars showing up. Good mix of arca vets and local dirt racers. Now it’s a cup developmental playground with a bunch of here today gone tomorrow 18 year olds running. They had 21 cars this year but only about 10 of those were solid
rides from what I saw on tv. Frankly am surprised the arca race is still happening Must be the tv keeping it afloat.

FYI this is a reply to the Sunday crowd post above. Realized I didn’t paste it in after I submitted.

I know it doesn't drum up a lot of interest, but Menards does GREAT at helping to promote the ARCA series...I wished like Silver Crowns or any open wheel series had the cross-promotion that Menards does do for the ARCA series...I suspect Menards dumps a good amount of $ into the series as well (but who knows how the details really work).

Taylor's run at Springfield was certainly noteworthy too. She has had some good results (in stock cars now, and midgets in recent years).
