When they first announced the show was on I thought entries would have been way down, probably around 200 tops.  I understimated how bad racer want to race.   Saw no Kruseman or Bondio entries on the list.

 I got my first Moderna vaccine dose last Friday, been a month earlier and I might have been tempted.

So for now it is Flo all week, until Saturday night.

Wow, that is a lot of cars! But I must say if everyone thinks Larson or Bell is going to win, wouldn't that be a 99% chance that another driver won't win?  Those aren't very good odds for the other drivers... I personally like Larson and Bell, but hopefully someone else wins it this year.


Looking forward to the new Golden State King of the 
West series schedule! 

Winged sprintcars = the fastest and most exciting 
racecars on dirt!

Do they have any type of competency test or quiz you have to take to prove that you are an actual race car driver yet? Maybe send in a resume or a highlight video of yourself?

Sort of like the "You have to be this tall" go or no-go guage before you board a scary roller coaster at an amusement park.

Floracing all week and they cut over to MAVTV on Saturday night.  Last year I got MAV through Tikilive and I see that they still carry it and raised their price to $9.99 which isn't a big deal.  They have the Roku app which makes it easier to work with so I will probably get it for the month on Saturday as I have an account from last year.  If anyone goes that route this is one of those services that has to be cancelled so that it doesn't auto renew.

Wouldn't that sort of test eliminate some active drivers? wink

They announced that they're streaming MAVTV for free on their Facebook page and the press release said that it will also appear on "all the popular digital platforms" or something to that effect so I presume it includes YouTube.

I've got a Roku TV hard wired to Ethernet and a FIre Stick plugged into an HDMI on wifi with a whole house wifi boosting system.  I'd rather go for the free broadcast on Facebook and/or YouTube as that won't require creating a membership and possibly having to cancel an auto billing.  I had LORTV with some MAVTV content for two years and wasn't impressed with the number of races or sanctions they were broadcasting.  Too much Lucas Oil Late Model Series and the only Sprint racing was ASCS 360's so I didn't renew after two seasons.  The Floracing and Dirtvision combo are my go-to deals because of All Stars, IRA, USAC and I get Dirtvision for the Knoxville weekly.

What was the over/under 50?   Usually at least 2/3 are numbered less than 51

Undoubtably because they wish the race to be a skilled contest, not a Punt, Crash, then Pass competition.
