We were planning on doing the USAC Eastern Storm tour but it doesn’t seem like they are getting very big fields this year. Does anyone know how many cars followed it last year? Or how many have signed up for this year?

There is growing support from car owners and drivers here in the east for wingless racing. I'd suspect car counts to be at or better than last year.

You will have Ryan Taylor, Kyle Moody, Tim Buckwalter, Trevor Kobylarz for sure....plus a few others....I'm thinking between 26 to 30 cars

We'll be at weedsport spectating. Cant wait, its been at least 40 years since I've been to a sprintcar nonwing race. I'll be glued to the fence for the entire event where a winged race i'm gone after a heat or two. I am not wing bashing at all, just a fact. I'm also old school so I really put weight into the usac label, used to be if you had a usac sticker on your car you were a badass no questions asked.

I hear you, hard to believe being how much I love sprintcars, they are the four wheel version of a speedwaybike. Thirty years ago I was riding mx and we started speedway in 2002, so we didn't travel to any auto races. Before that we were at the modifieds at Flemington speedway, sorry to say another type of car that is no longer with us. (this is why I always hate changes to sprintcars, something perfect needs no change, leave the sprintcars alone. If tech is your thing play with late models or whatever) This is the first year in a long time we arnt racing anything. I'm hoping with a change in the racing climate maybe the nonwing cars will start coming to us. We would 100% be racing a sprintcar if we had a local track, I should say would have because at this stage were done with the racing. I'm going to run a mx race and a speedway race next season for my 60th birthday and that will be that.
