Yes Ohio has a couple regional series. Neither of these series are even close to the level of the All Stars and might have a team or two follow their series. OVSCA has a very low payout and when...
I don't know why everyone is bagging on Ballou. Didn't Grant get DQ'd last year for tires? Grant is killing them right now and he's skeptical, I get it.
The fans are going to make or break this series, not the teams. There are plenty of wing teams in the Indy area and with a purse like that, teams will travel a little.
I was at Wayne County Tues and enjoyed myself. Ohio has very dusty tracks. Being from Ohio I didn't realize how dusty they get compared to other areas until I started to travel. We sat at turn 1...
As far as the backgate promoting I think Flo is helping with the purse. One of the reoccurring complaints that I have seen have been support classes dragging the show out. The structure seems to be...
As I posted on another thread. I went to a Friday WoO - Sat USAC show at Eldora when Earl owned the place and when the WoO left to go to Lernerville the fans went with them. The crowd was about...
I went to Attica for the WoO show and our group decided we're not leaving Ohio this year. Everything is to damn expensive right now. I'll stay in my area and enjoy what it has to offer.
They also announced that Bull Gap had the largest crowd in 20 years for the Flo Night race, so fan attendance wasn't the issue. The interview with Vic was pretty telling. The place sounds like it...
I'm with midget98 here. I'm surprised how many people would go/not go to a race because of the cooler policy. I could care less. Is it nice to take cheap stuff to the track, of course. But that's not...
The tire rule was implemented to help save the teams money. The tires were very soft and had a ton of grip, therefore wearing out quickly, hurting the quality of the racing, and rubbering up...
Honestly, I think the Fremont/Attica comparison is much better than the Knoxville one. Fremont and Attica seem to have more in common with the Indiana tracks. In my opinion they seem to have around...
I doubt they will do anything like that now. They can do that with WoO because they are the big dog with the best teams. That's not the case here. USAC could actually hurt the new series by...
Honestly, I see this as a non issue. This is simply a gimmick by USAC because they know they'll never have to pay it out. The triple has only happened twice and is incredibly hard to accomplish. To...
Flo had an interview with Axom and apparently he's going to do some wing stuff this year with an eye on going wings full time. It seems that the younger drivers are looking at wings as the end game....
Good post. USAC is definitely the big dog in this situation, but WRG has proven they can get it done. Competition is good for the sport. As far as the better racing, I'm not gonna get into that. I...
I understand there's a difference in cost, but that's my point. The Indiana tracks aren't interested in gambling to improve and just willing to collect their checks. That's what has led you to this...
I don't understand how adding them to the WoO championship helps anyone? This conversation is very interesting. I love sprint car racing, all types, but the non-wing crowd doesn't seem to like...
All Stars and USAC have comparable ticket prices. Being that they are both regional series that makes sense. WoO tickets are about $35. The difference is WoO is the only true national series in...
I'll be working in Indianapolis June 1-4 and would like to hit some of these races. It looks like Lincoln Park is the closest. Being that I have to be at work the next morning does anyone have any...
