I cant believe I am going to say this but Dyno is right on. I used to be able and call and talk to Roger and he would give me a full report on the cars he expected and who was in what ride and car counts. He gave me alot of time that he did not have to do just because. He knew I would bring 10 people plus to each race and most importantly he was just a good guy and loved his track and talking about racing.
I have great memories of Winchester and growing up there as a kid. I would love to build some of those same memories with my son but the current promoters and specifically RJ Scott could care less about the average fan. This has been well documented on this board and others and I think everyone is realizing it and now, hence the weak schedule!
I hope someone gets to promote the track and return it back to its original fan friendly status and appreciate its history. Maybe we could talk Dave Rudisell into running Winchester on Sundays and Thursdays HAHA.
I do commend USAC for maintaing a strong pavement schedule and trying to keep pavement racing going. I just hope they can figure out how to make it more affordable to have pavement cars also in this bad economy. I love dirt racing the best but damn, pavement cars at Winchester is something every sprintcar fan should see in there life with some promoters that understand running it.
