I also have enjoyed watching the Lucas Oil DLM series on Flo over the past year. Right now with so much racing on the channel, my first viewing priority is USAC, second is Lucas Oil, and third, if I...
It looks like if I go by the track chaser guidelines, I would have to drop Concordia off my list, but can add the track within a track at Manzanita. I remember a long ago WoO race there where they...
Here's an interesting scenario to add to the list. On July 10, 2019, USAC had a midget race scheduled at Concordia, KS as part of their midwestern swing. I went there, camped in my RV, paid to get...
I moved from Canada to Orange County, CA in late 1989. I was only 45 minutes from Ascot Park, and never missed a race. They closed at the end of the following year, I believe. When I retired and...
Not a real surprise. I attended the Western World at Cocopah Speedway in Somerton, AZ earlier this month. I guess their premier class is modifieds. The guy sitting beside me said he had never seen...
Tim, you are correct. That photo shoot was at East Bay in Gibsonton, FL, on the practice day before the 4-day show in February. I was even able to snap a few shots myself while they were still posed...
Azsprintfan, I wasn't aware that Canyon Raceway Park had shut down. I haven't been there since they stopped running sprints a few years back. I can't bring myself to drive to the track in Casa...
Thanks, Mc/rider. I thought that might be what Charles was hinting at, but I wonder why the rest of the teams aren't having the same problems with those tires, at least as consistently. With 25...
I don't get the connection, but I'm pretty much out of the loop here in AZ. Can you expand on that a little bit, Charles? On a related subject, what happened to his Fatheadz sponsorship? I noticed...
I have attended both weeks of ISW 8 times over the past 10 years and camped in my RV. As recently as last year, here are my observations. All of the tracks on the schedule permit camping. Terre...
This whole "traveling safety team" is a much more complex issue than most would comprehend. There is a lot of ******** involved. You have to take into consideration individual city, county and state...
Dug up this photo that I purchased years ago, since at the time it looked pretty spectacular. Mark Kinser in the Allan Nott car. Photo credit to Frank Kerker of On The Fence Racing Photography.
The only race last year at Perris that was co-sanctioned with the National series was the Oval Nationals. I recall watching other Perris USAC/CRA races on Flo throughout the summer.
I noticed that the USAC/CRA two-day show at Cocopah Speedway in Somerton, AZ this coming weekend is not on the Flo schedule either. Instead, it is being broadcast live by Speedsport TV. The same...
Of the 102 tracks that I have been to over many years, I can't think of any that I knew enough about to regret not seeing a program there. Back around '78, I went to a WoO swing through PA, and one...
I didn't get to see any racing last night. The generator in my RV died half way through the hot afternoon. SInce I travel with my dog, I had to go and find a place with hookups. Ended up in a city...
Thanks for that great information, Jonr. I am in Fairbury now and they are under a heat advisory until 8:00. All of the camping spots with hookups were spoken for days ago, so I am in an overflow...
Thanks, Andrew. I went to Fairbury 3 years ago for the same 2 day show. I don't recall it being too far out of town, but a little difficult to find, with the access to the camping area being down a...
I'm sitting in Beloit, KS in my RV waiting for tomorrow's USAC midget program, after attending Huset's last week. While waiting for ISW over the following 2 weeks, I have a choice between a pair of...
My brother and I ran the two-ambulance EMS service at a local speedway for close to 14 years back in the mid '70s until '89. We were then, and to this day, big time sprint car fans. The couple of...
I was there for all 3 nights. The first 2 were poorly attended fan-wise, and the final night was a little better. I base that assessment on cars in the parking lot rather than trying to count heads...
Jonboat, Arizona Speedway will be closing for good at the end of November, due to the encroachment of new housing developments nearby. I have attended many races there over the years, as I only live...
I was there. Qualifying started almost an hour later than what was advertised. 45 minute "intermission" between the end of the heats and the start of the limited sprint feature, followed by another...
