Classic know it all example:

- knows all about track prep

- knows all about what should be announced

- knows when to use "there" and "their"

Does not know, better to keep quiet and thought a fool.......you know the rest!

I rest my case!!

And you're one of probably three people on this board who care about that.   The rest of us don't give a rat's ass...

Wow ! I just ran across that High Limit post on X/Twitter and thought it was kinda cool HL did that. I shoulda know it woulda started a pissing war on here between the HL detractors and the WOO detractors. 

  I don't think the Outlaws owe HL a damn thing. I do hope to see them both thrive and have a good rivalry. In the futire I hope the Outlaw regulars will be able to run more than 4 non outlaw races, I think that's about the best anyone can hope for.  

The older I get the faster I was.
All of my hard lessons have been learned at the speed of 
pain...

I am not going to argue either way because just care. It is another sport but the Super Bowl winner in usually considered the best but only one time have they not been beat at some time during the season. Same goes for most other sports.

I think both sanctions desire to grow their brand. They are both businesses.  Growing the sport and growing your brand are vastly different. However both will grow the sport only as much as necessay to achieve their first priority. They both support local grass roots racing becuase they need a feeder system for both drivers and fans. Neither group is putting money or effort into Estevan motor Speedway because that small race track doesnt feed their brand. Racing could grow in Estevan if either sanction was dediciated to seeing it grow. But they arent. They do put effort and money into California and PA cause those tracks do feed their brand.

Even though I may not know you, I 
care what most of you think!

This has been kind of my point. HL is going to have to earn their stripes. 20 plus years ago same thing. WoO Latemodel "Dirty Dozen" best lm drivers there are. Lucas oil series started and  gave people more good racing to go to. It kept growing and growing and growing. The WoO don't even ignore them now and will give them credit. However, the social media network didn't really exist back then. Things tend to travel and change faster. The outlaws are the gold standard. How long can they maintain that when HL drivers are consitently beating them. Plus HL is promoting their drivers when they go elsewhere and win. Look at their twitter page. Zeb Wise and Jacob Allen are plastered all over it for their wins the last 2 nights. They are mentioning HL in their victory interviews.  New fans are coming in everyday. Are they going be sold on the gold standard or what have you done (or have I seen) lately. I love the WoO (both series), Lucas Oil and I am going to embrace and support HL all the way. To me this has the feel of history repeating itself from 20 years ago with the latemodels. If at the very least, there is starting to be more proof and less doubt the need for 2 national sprint tours.

Let's cut the crap - High Limit is clearly latching on to WoO for relevance. 

Go check Walkapedia's Twitter for supporting evidence - I absolutely loved the guy as a genuine reporter prior to getting hired with HL, but suggesting Husets reschedules an Outlaw sanctioned event to benefit those who are following the High Limit schedule is not a fantastic look. 

I tend to agree with this.

And this is how I slot the top 4 greatest injustices of the racing world:

1.) The Bettenhausen family's starcrossed and tragedy filled quest for victory at Indianapolis.

2.) The WoO not mentioning the High Limit series

3.) Ford Mo.Co. staging a 1-2-3 finish while costing Ken Miles the victory at LeMans in 1966

4.) Eldora exclusively going to Coke products in 2005

Hilarious!    Can you add Knoxville going to exclusively Coke products a few years ago?   I've never seen a greater injustice than that myself...

You realize he's just the announcer-right? You're not dumb enough to believe that he's the one making any decisions about how the WoO is run-right? I mean, you can't really be that ignorant-right?

Wow what a cry baby. You've got gyour panties wadded so much over a non issue. Instead of just appreciating how much the sport is growing right now you throw a tantrum over nothing. Good don't go to any Woo races in fact don't go at all if something like this gets so upset.

I'm not sure you understand what the word ignorant means. Do you understand what the term poster child means?

Just hang loose, I'm sure someone is relaying this ultra important information on your feelings to Gibson even as we speak.  I'm sure he'll be calling to beg for your forgiveness and will immediately start promoting High Limit when he gets back on the mic.   

Why such a hostile response to a pretty harmless & accurate (IMHO) post?

I don't see why people are getting so worked up. Both series are doing well & I think it adds to the sport. I feel sorry for some areas that don't get any HL races, cause they have some terrific lineups...

Looking forward to Tuscarora 50!!!! :)

& of course neither series has any obligation to mention the other...

But HL showed some good sportsmanship to do it

Do they gain anything by mentioning WoO? Maybe so, especially if they whup 'em ;)

LfreakinOL...Pretty sure my response was not to you but to  someone that understands sarcasm.  I'll try to make that more obvious for you next time. But by all means keep jumping into stuff you don't quite understand, that's how we learn.

"Welcome to McDonald's and thank you for your purchase of a delicious Big Mac. And by the way, we suggest you head on over to Burger King after you leave here. Their onion rings go great with a Big Mac. And as an extra treat, go to Wendy's and get a Frosty to help beat the heat!" 

Oh dear. How are they going to be able to afford to continue operating the WoO without your hefty financial support?

I would think it's getting more and moe difficult for the WOO to keep snubbing when HL drivers keep showing up in WOO VL. 

A

I would agree with the overall sentiment but snubbing infers that HL as an entity is deserving of recognition, which I'm not sure I can agree with.

HL drivers winning Outlaw races will definitely help fortify the HL brand, but it's not the Outlaws responsibility to make their fanbase aware of that.
