I’d be worried except…there has been threats to non wing every year forever it seems. The OP here seems like a lot of national media, trying to create news through rumor and innuendo. Traditional...
Terre Haute…always seems to rain out and not get rescheduled. Truly though, any dirt half mile big enough to handle them. We need more venues to keep the series viable.
Money is the key, both at the top of the purse structure but also through the field. Traditional sprint cars thrive on numbers, just look at the crowds that fill tracks for IWS. Fans like heats that...
Part of the draw of Sprint Week is the large car counts and B main and C mains. 31 is a good number for a normal special show but Sprint Week is the event of the summer and as such the expectation is...
If you’ve never been there and you’re bellyaching on here you are uneducated. Tri-State is usually more than well attended. Last night was unusual in two aspects, one, the track dusted up and got...
As long as the race here, I’m relatively happy, my complaint is modified feature first. But, again, I’ll happily be later than I need to be at work if it keeps THAT open
For those hoping for a large crowd, being here 10 minutes prior to engine heat…I’m not optimistic. There will have to be a hell of an increased influx of people for this one to make money. 75 in the...
To what end? We play the national anthem, that should suffice. Every time one attends an event it doesn’t need to be a nationalistic show piece. And before the “you ain’t American crowd” jumps down...
The money for the racers is a great thing. I, like Charles am a bit concerned. Not with one race but with the set up of what is to occur. FLO seems to be the tail wagging the dog here. How will this...
The patriarch of the Hayes family perished in a plane crash. The family continued ownership until the late seventies when Saad Jabr bought the fairgrounds and promptly ran it into the ground. Big Jim...
Based on the asking price and the location it will be interesting to see who is interested and what might happen there. Someone asked or mentioned moving the fairgrounds. It is not a publicly owned...
The Belle-Claire Fairgrounds are officially for sale. 22 acres including an expo hall and dirt track being sold as is. $2.4 million. I believe we have seen the last of the venerable dirt track. This...
First dirt race spring of 1965, I was born in December of 64 and my daddy owned a modified coupe for 3 or 4 years around the time I was born. The track would have been Turnpike Speedway in Marion,...
I, for one, am tickled Paragon’s season is over. Stops the bellyaching. Some won’t be satisfied until they have two or three tracks left to attend, then they will start threads wondering why so many...
Interesting discussion. Damned if you do damned if you don’t. USAC, and quite frankly, any sanction are in a no win situation. Every keyboard jockey has an opinion, notwithstanding having zero real...
