Seems to me if I had a track and truly wanted to have a top tier non wing race I would try to get USAC. Maybe WRG can improve the demand for this. I’m mean they’ve already got people believing that the WOO is best dirt racing in the country. Kinda like what NASCAR did to big time racing. But most of us with a functioning brain know better
I think it’s a combo of both. If WRG can get races around the country for these guys and pay them more money that is a good thing right???? I know I have an axe to grind and it’s simply that after starting to support Usac in ‘99 I don’t see how the sanction has moved on with the times. I have come to grips with they are basically a regional group with a few trips a season here and there. If you live out there life is great for you and you are probably afraid of losing what you’ve got. They are the best group to get for an event because they are they only group. They have not advanced the product in my opinion. Another poster brought up what happened in California. They saw an opportunity to devouer SCRA and then with there sanction rights cut the purse and took money for the National series.
It’s been mentioned that if teams run the WRG races they might get banned from USAC. If that happens I’ll go out on a limb and say WRG runs more than 15 shows.
Let’s be honest here, no one really knows what the future holds. WRG is the first group to really give USAC a challenge for nw racing in forever. Who knows what the group from Speedway will do.
If it’s all about the streaming deal then WRG is way out in front. The price is higher but I’m pretty sure that they have a functioning wireless microphone every time they need it for interviews. It’s a more professional appearing operation.The picture quality is good too. Maybe Flo steps it up, but then again it’s been a few years now and still same bs.
For the poster who got offended about the functioning brain comment, I’ll respond this way. I live in Pa and up until maybe 5-6 years ago you would not believe the things I was insulted as for wearing my non wing shirts to the grove. Mama always said wear your big boy pants and don’t worry what other people think. I’m not an engineer or even a college grad but my brain functions quite well and can honestly say I’d drive past the grove to go see a nw race every Friday if I could. It’s all about preference.
