Solid

I am disappointed, there is no High Limit races. They are missing a big opportunity. Weiler night used to be Allstars. Putting all of their eggs in one basket.

I wouldn't expect any track that has a weekly presence on Dirtvision to schedule a High Limit race.  There were none in 2024.

Signature here.

You're right, I think a little strong arm tactics were used. Like, if you schedule High Limit, we will not bring the outlaws to your track. Very few tracks had both in 2024, Eldoroa comes to mind.

I'm disappointed that they didn't replace the Late Model show with a Open Wheel event. :(

I am not suprised. Knoxville and Dirtvision have partnered for years, and I don't see Knoxville wanting to change that anytime soon. Weren't they putting all their eggs in one basket before HL? 

Plus most of the HL guys will be there for the Nationals. 

Keep It Real

Strong arm tactics?  Business decision.  Way too much thought being put into this.  

i was disappointed as well. i hadn't considered the dirt v flo aspect of it. i was told at the nationals by a person who might be in the know, might, that it was a pay to keep hl out thing by the outlaws. i think the dirtvision thing makes more sense and is more likely to be true. thoughts?

doug-

The HL guys will likely be off all of the WoO shows at knoxville 

No, they had the Allstars there, which was a Flo broadcast.

If you can't see the differences between the All Stars and High Limit then this is a useless conversation. 

Keep It Real

I believe the last Flo broadcast of the All Stars at Knoxville was during Covid in 2020.  Not sure how that's relative to this conversation about HL, the WoO, and Knoxville Raceway. 

Flo will broadcast the Corn Belt Clash (USAC) and the Late Model Nationals at Knoxville so if there is anything to no High Limit, it isn't just because it won't be on Dirtvision

Also if HL runs a similar schedule to last, most of the HL guys will be there a week before the 360 Nationals anyways

No.  There was a broadcast in 2023.

I stand corrected----thanks for the info.

schedule looks great in my eyes, not sure why people believe that knoxville needs the HL series. They have a great weekly series, the usac, woo, and the lucas late models. Seems, to be enough variety of the highest caliber divisions out there. Why let the HL series force their way in and potentially instigate issues with the deal set in place with a already strong partnership with the WOO?

Easy there north star-----it's 2024---not supposed to be happy with what we have.  (I agree 100% by the way)

my bad, i do not wish to upset the powers that be, i will not let this happen again and will reflect upon my poor choices lol
