I've always wanted to go to an Ascoc show but never have, never will. Being Canadian if I'm in a motel 6 and both series race within a couple hours of my location I would still pick the WoO because they will guarantee me a full field unless I'm in SD. If that scenario was in Ohio or Iowa or PA I would seriously consider the HL cause I'm confident enough locals would show up. Simply because I've never been to an AS/HL I might give it a little extra consideration but if I'm spending money to get there???? I'm gonna go for a full field and it's also been so long since my last WOO show Gravel Macedo and Schuchart are new to me   
 

I think HL should have stayed in the center of your country. Another poster said Allen and Wise will win multiple races against the WoO this year, possibly????? Combined. 2 is multiple. I like Jacob but I doubt he's gonna hit his prime in the WoO races this year as a HL. 
 

I see some greed with the bros-in-law. Appears the series is built around themselves but they won't be able to sustain that for long and eventually everyone wants to see new drivers. The increased regular purse is good for sure. 
 

some good some questionable. Guys in Cali can race for 10,000 for two months. Has that happened before?

I hate to use the word "greed" when talking about someone who is taking advantage of an opportunity.  Must be the same in Canada as it is here-----no one roots for anyone who is financially successful.  As soon as someone experiences success, it seems they are hated and greedy.  Sprint car fans have been complaining about WoO "greed" as long as I can remember.  I want the Outlaws to continue to make money----lots of money.  That keeps them on the road.  Time will tell if the HL will work out, but if it does, it will only work out because it is VERY profitable.  That's not greed.  That's business.  

Where do you people buy your crystal balls? - because you Outlaw homers sure have it all figured out.  Season hasn't even started, yet HL will:

- surely fail

- will fold before halfway of season one, or....

- will defientely fold after year one

- will have to cancel races because of lack of cars

- fail due to evil Sweet and Larson's greed

- fail because Sweet and Larson have no idea what they are are doing (becasue they have no experience in the racing industry)

- Horrible Sweet and Larson have poached the WoO employees just to be mean

Note: I just found my crystal ball. It says: HL will be very successful. Fans will attend/watch on Flo. HL drivers will love the option to race as many non-HL races as they want. Chase Raudman will be a great announcer (and he won't scream and screetch!).

And here is my grand finale crystal ball prediction: Sweet, Rico, Wise, Allen, Sunshine (assumpution), Larson (when he can run on an open Friday or Saturday) will win numerous WoO races by season's end  - maybe even Knoxville! Gravel, Macedo, and Schuhart arent going to beat those guys every time they show up.

Agree with most of that. The bellyaching and crying and whining from the Outlaw homers is amusing. If the Outlaws were the be all and end all that some posters on here try it out to be, HL would not have been able to poach so many employees and gotten as many teams to sign up as they already have.

More drivers getting to make good money is somehow, something, something, "hurting the sport?"
