CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHEN THE WHEN & WHERE THE RACES ARE? I'AM ON MY WAY FROM TEXAS!:checkered:

good luck, lol to my knowledge they scrapped the non wing portion at Eastbay.. Not sure of any other.. I could be wrong, and hopefully so for you my friend.. Good luck and hope nonwing shows its face for you..

they did scrap the non-wing races at East Bay. I went to all of them. It was great racing, especially Roger Rager and Darren Clayton, but it seemed like I was the only guy in the stands under 70 years old and maybe 200-300 people total. It's a shame but, in this case, I don't blame them for dropping the non-wingers. It had to be a financial loser.

Every year I went to Florida it seemed like a finacial nightmare for car owners. Volousia County was a tire eaten monster every race and sand was horrible on parts... expecially birdcage bearings etc. East Bay wasn't quite as bad on tires but still had the sand. I had alot of fun though just glad I wasn't paying for it.

Never went for non wingys...... sorry Cecil.

Looks to me like its the late models that are putting the butts in the seats, twice as many nights as the Outlaws and All Stars get combined.

no non- wings this year , latemodels start practice today at eastbay then run for 6 nights :kookoo then 410 winger's for 3 night's
come on may:thumb

that's what some of the locals were telling me when i was down there for the non-wingers, that the late models pretty much pack the place.

They had one late model race at Haubstadt last year and IT WAS A BARN BURNER!!! 3 wide and never beet or touched each other! No SUPER SLIDES either. One great race... and it packed the stands too. Modified race was great too even though I didn't like the outcome.

Come on, I was only 68 then. :-)

The last night, we sat beside a snowbird race fan from upstate NY, who had no idea they were running. He was there because some one finally told him about it on the last day. He says there was no advertising at all.

Another promoter like the one who once told me, "We don't advertise because all the race fans know we are running and only race fans come anyway."

Your right Dick, I didn't see or hear any advertisement for the sprinters down there at all and I usually went down for two weeks. And as for you being only 68? Well, I guess there were two of us "Kids" in the stands then (I was 53 then)!:rolling
