Agreed, there's way more good paying 410 races in central PA than anywhere else in the country.
|
Wait, are you saying PA has the highest paying 410 amount of purses in the country? Or has the most amount of high paying 410 shows In the country?

I'm guessing he's making reference to weekly scheduled 410 races at the same track.
Of course there are other traveling circuits that have higher purses. However, that's not saying much. Where else are there weekly scheuled 410 races anymore? Knoxville, PA, and ???
We used to have them many years ago here at Skagit and Grays Harbor in the northwest, but now it's only 360 races, and that's not even every weekend on our schedule.

a hot shoe from the pacific NW...and on a roll...

I can see this isn't a new thing from the PA crowd. Do they like to claim anyone that races any form of regular schedule in their state? It's understandable why guys want to race there. They're blessed with so many tracks.
Starks is pretty clear he's from Puyallup, WA and consistently has it announced that way.

I don't think it's just 358's hurting 410 car counts. There's just so many open wheel divisions in PA it's almost ridiculous. Starting from the bottom and working up towards the top, there's 270 Micros, 600 Wingless Micros, 600 Winged Micros, Speedsters, Winged Super Sportsman, Wingless Super Sportsman, ARDC Midgets, 305 Sprint Cars, Winged 358's, Winged 360 Sprints, the new USAC Wingless 360 Series, and Winged 410's. There's so many drivers and teams around, just too many classes of cars it seems.

No more weekly 410's at Silver Dollar, which means no more weekly 410's in CA. 305's coming soon to a track near you.

Kofoid looked awesome last year at the Summer Nationals at Skagit. Definitely moving up the classes in the near future. Also, heard his name mentioned in an Open Red podcast as a not well know name that's soon be known by more.
