Sprint car open practice at Volusia on February 8, 2011, followed by the All Stars on February 9-10. WoO at Volusia on February 11-13.
In another example of great cooperation by sprint car sanctioning bodies and tracks, USAC runs at Ocala Speedway on February 16-19, while the ASCS Ronald Laney Memorial is being held about 100 miles to the south at East Bay Raceway on (you guessed it) February 17-19 with practice on the 16th. Thus I can drive over 1,000 miles and have to choose between one of these two shows. Congratulations to everyone involved. I really appreciate the fact that you are doing everything you can to grow the sport and give us a better fan experience. I really would have hated to be able to go down there and see both four nights of USAC and three nights of ASCS racing.
There are no 410s scheduled for East Bay this year, which should come as no surprise to those who have been attending their 410 shows for the past few years. It has been pointed out on IOW a number of times that the crowds weren't very large. I certainly hope that some other track will have some dirt sprint races. I wouldn't even mind returning to Hendry County Speedway.
