Open wheel racing is getting spread pretty thin in the Missouri / Kansas region. The 305-winged car race last Saturday between Wheatland and Humboldt only had 6 cars.
Living in the land of wings (which thankfully is changing some). late models, and multiple classes of modifieds I am amazed that the majority of fans leaving couldn't tell you who won for various...
Live 15 Miles south of Lakeside Speedway in Kansas and 35 west of valley Speedway in Missouri. But don't go to either that much anymore. Go to more races in Indiana than either. favorite track and...
The majority of Nascrap fans, Late Model Fans, Modified fans, and winged car fans have one thing in common. Not all but most of them come for the party more than the race. They will sit through a...
Wonder how many of the Allstar teams that may not be interested in chasing a national series may a new home with this series or at least hit many of the races.
It's called a sprint race with sprint cars for a reason.
To me the days when the crew chief and the driver walked the track and then went back and set the car up the way they thought would be the...
Interesting you left Missouri (and Lakeside in Kansas City). They are 2nd only to Indiana in number of non wing races according to the statistics pages.
Couldn't swear to it but I am sure my first race would have been super modifieds at Sportsman's Speedway in Marshall, Missouri sometime in the late 1950s early 1960s. My dad would have been in the...
I have always heard the "people have to work the next day" forever. But I see ballfields, soccer fields, drive inns, bars, and ...... open weeknights until 1- 12 or later weeknights all summer...
There are enough cars to go around. I see it as a win - win. There are many teams who can not afford the trip and/or know they don't have the funds to be competitive with the big money teams. Some...
signal the start of the timer ( what ever is set by the rule ) when the car stops in the work area. No one touches the car until that signal is given Timer is not dependent on anything happening on...
I think one of the biggest things hurting car counts is being ignored. The fascination with the "to win" money and ignoring the start money. It's getting harder and harder for the "field fillers" to...
seems someone always feel cheated in a rainout regardless o the policy. Only once did a rainout cause me to have hard feelings toward a promoter. We drove over 3 hours to a non wing show at a track...
WAR is also racing Friday night at Grain Valley Speedway in Eastern Kansas City and Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland Mo Saturday night ( both nights with the POWRI National Midgets) splitting the cars...
Go to the "mostly motorsports" podcast and listen to the interview with the promoter of Bulls Gap tell how he lost money on the Kyle Larson race and why he closed the track down after that race
