One of the benefits of drivers racing with a sanctioned series is that we really try hard to do our homework. I personally visit all new tracks added to our schedule. One year ago, anyone who follows me or the series on social media may remember that I made 3 trips to Legendary Hilltop in Marietta, Ohio posting several photos showing that we were preparing the track for sprints. We also take Bobby Gompf and his safety crew from the Burg with us every chance we get!
As for Whitewater, everyone wants to bring up issues from a cancelled midget race there several years ago. Please remember that this place had a great promoter in 2014 who worked his ass off to break even. He made a lot of changes and improvements. BOSS ran there that season and anyone who was in attendance that night will tell you it was a great show with 35 non wing sprints and a slide job battle for the ages between one of BOSS's best and one of USAC's best and our "Lightning" Logan Hupp prevailed.
The last time we raced there, the infamous grader was nowhere to be found off turn 1. The rebar had been cut back from the wall. The issues were addressed prior to a BOSS show and we will do the same (if there are any issues) before we run there again. Bobby Gompf's safety crew has already been contracted to travel with BOSS to this event and several others.
Thank you all for supporting the BOSS series. Besides bring Whitewater back from a one year absence, we have added two awesome facilities at Attica Raceway Park on Friday, July 8th and the most prestigious late model track, Portsmouth Raceway Park on Saturday, July 23rd. PRP is the annual host of the $100,000 to win dirt track world championship. Both new additions are top notch facilities and I STILL visit them prior to a BOSS show to cover everything from safety, to scoring, to push trucks.
See you all at the tracks VERY soon!
