A nice schedule for the fans. I like how every "round" is a Friday-Saturday doubleheader. Kudos for the GLSS guys for putting some thought into this.

Now, how this works for the teams running.....? But good for us fans.

The Friday/Saturday deal might be nice,but the fact the tracks are not that close together really doesn't do a lot for that..Only other concern,does this mean now that there are two winged sprint car groups in Michigan as well as the MTS bunch..Do we have that many sprint cars to get decent car counts to these tracks or are we going to have people in the stands complain because of low car counts? I know here are not many MTS guys that try and run with the winged boys but,,,

Currently, there is only one night that both SOD and GLSS are scheduled concurrently. I'm sure SOD will be releasing several more dates, so that may change. The potential is there for there to be enough cars for both, if drivers want to run both, as of now. Hopefully, everyone will play nice.

Interesting schedule. There are 13 open dates or other series schedules (Kings Royal, Knox. 360 Nationals, etc). Not sure why these are on the schedule. Should they add Trophy Cup and Little Rock? I thought they were planning a bunch of shows in OH and IN and they must not be in good graces with the NRA with no co-sanctions. Should be interesting. Heard Dustin Daggett is out of a ride and Mott is selling everything off due to health concerns. Perhaps heading back to the family ride.

Going to be an interesting 2016 in Michigan.

And THAT is the key point with these two groups.

Good spot, Eric.

GLSS is 360 Sprints, correct? This is basically what SOD became after they went back to 410s?

Correct. SOD went to a 360 / 410. Drivers can run either.

This puts SOD back-to-back at Hartford and Butler May 20th and 21st! And.... the GLSS runners can always race with SOD at Hartford, too. It might not on the GLSS schedule but it is right down I-94.

Not to mention, with these two combined shows at Butler there should be nothing stopping GLSS from entering the SOD battle. 360s can hold their own at Butler. Years back..... oh..... early 2000s, SOD and the IRA had a duel event at Butler. It was one of their WWIII shows. There were 110-ish cars in the pits. With the SOD guys entering the IRA race on top of the SOD race, there were so many cars involved in the IRA race that the IRA blew off qualifying and went to passing points for their heat races that night.

O, to get back to days like those again.....!
