Should have named it B.O.S.S BEYOND OUTLAW Sprint Series.

Love me some Spoon River !

Much ado about….well I’m not sure. Lots of folks lambasting USAC for…..not expanding? I’d like more too, but they got a good gig going. I see several shows every year in Indiana, the crowds are always large, the field is always full. Just because they may struggle in Pennsylvania or South Dakota or Knoxville doesn’t mean they aren’t successful for what they are. Hell, you have to get up pretty early in the morning just to get a decent sprint week seat. USAC is fine. If another group wants to give big travel with non wingers a try, go for it, not sure that’s gonna knock USAC off it’s perch, but if it somehow does, it will be a boon for MSCS. There is always going to be a strong local non wing org in Indiana.

The real winners of this situation so far will be the drivers who can actually run both series. My biggest question will be where exactly the xtreme series plans on getting cars, depending upon where they are located and the time of year. They almost need to have a USAC show near by before their show, if its somewhere outside of the midwest, or pay a substantial amount of money.

As for the midgets, thats an even bigger question. Some of these teams are stretched as thin as possible as it is with different sets of drivers running in both Powri, and USAC. Which leads to a big question for the midget series in will they have a USAC Style age rule? Or will they operate under the Powri mindset which is that 13 year olds can run.

Volusia makes sense, so does the i-55 date. I would be nearly certain that events at Knoxville, Jacksonville, Midget show at Millbridge in November, possibly another trip to I-55, and maybe even the World Finals could be a part of the schedule. But so much of the success or failure of this new start up will vastly depend on the schedule. They cant possibly throw money up at a place where NW racing is not rooted and expect cars to show up.

Another very interesting thing that has been posed is the enormous sanctioning fee that comes with a WoO late model and Sprint show. How much more will these tracks and promoters have to pay in order to have both series at their track at the same time and still make a profit? Being they want to pair these events with late model and Sprint shows from WRG.

There are a lot of variables that are coming into this that will need to be explored. But we do know that WRG does not play fair, and on the whole has no problems double booking against series who pose as a threat. While B Walks and Casey Shuman have the heart and care for midgets and NW sprints, the corporate entities associated with WRG and DIRTvision (the whole reason this series event was started) surely do not care as much. I only hope both can exist on a fair playing field over the test of time, and the pissing contest doesnt become too much for series and or tracks to handle.

USAC Midgets are at Sweet Springs, MO on 9/10/22 final night of two day show. Seems a lot of USAC Sprint guys can go to Spoon River if they choose.

Grant, Thorson, Axsom, Seavey, and Bacon most likely only USAC Sprint regulars running Sweet Springs midgets.

THANK YOU MR. DOBSON!! Not only for the great advise on how to keep from losing some money on a bet of a hunch, but also for helping bring wingless sprint car racing to the Land O' Lincoln & crooked politicians!

This is one time that I'm quite happy to be full of it.

You also have my word as a faithful bleacher jockey that we'll be supporting these events in Illini Land!
