With the Canadian Outlaw shows being cancelled on July 23 and 24 any chance the Outlaws stay in Pa. and pick up another track like Granview ,Susky or even Selinsgrove? Both dates are now to be announced on the Outlaw schedule.

Sign me up for WoO shows at Susky or Selinsgrove (I'll pass on Grandview, nice track with good racing but crazy drive AND the worst parking situation I've ever seen in my life by far). How about a second show at The Fabulous Lincoln Speedway or Port Royal?

Thanks,

Jeff.

Port already has a 2 day show. I could see Baps Motor Speedway or 2 nd show at Lincoln, had 2 shows a few years ago.

Brad from Atomic inquired about the dates and was told they want to stay east that week. How far East I don’t know but Sharon would be nice. 

DA

Not a great facility but they'd put on one heck of a show at Path Valley

They are still trying to rectify a parking problem at Ohsweken. They will hold onto the dates as long as possible.

Susky, Path Valley or Grandview would be great. Selinsgrove is putting in a good effort upgrading but lets skip another 1/2 mile.

What is the deal with Grandview parking? Only physically been there once when I was younger so I don't remember that part. Is it worse than the nonsense at Hagerstown?

Lernerville may be a possibility.  I know they gave up a date or WRG took one away. Who the heck knows. 

According to the press release they already cancelled both Outaw shows and the big 360 Nationals and are only having weekly shows because of the parking dispute and if the Outlaws do want to stay East I think either Port Selinsgrove or Baps would be the best choices with all the improvements at Baps and if Selinsgrove does move the pits outside .

That would be the perfect opportunity for Selinsgrove to get back on the map they could even use the 360 National dates for their 360 open.

Lincoln might be to close to the Grove since they will just have run the Summer Nationals.

Boohoo. I drive 5 hours & find a place to park....

That would be great! If I wanted the Hilton Hotel, I'd go there. Beautiful drive to Path Valley & great racing....facilities are primitive but fine by me....

Susky is awesome too! I'd go....

Parking at Hagerstown is a breeze compared to Grandview. When I went to Grandview for the All Stars show in August I got there 45 minutes early and had to pay money to park WAAAYYY in the back yard of the house across the street from the track. Literally they were squeezing cars everywhere they could fit them (2 deep, in between buildings, etc). I searched for 10 minutes before breaking down and resorting to that option, and got stuck in situations where I had to back down asiles of cars because they were parked so close you couldn't get through. They have enough parking to probably accomodate a weekly show featuring 358 mods, they DO not have enough parking to accomodate anything beyond that. Path Valley has significantly better parking than Grandview. 

Good for you bud, I'm glad.

I drove 4 hours, got there early and couldn't find a decent place to park. So when given a choice, I will stay home. Its a nice track, no offense to them, just how it is. I wish them luck. That is why I said I'll pass on Grandview, no need to get upset.

I'm not upset. Better luck next time, maybe show up earlier?

No doubt, parking could be better....

Lville still has two dates - Don Martin Silver Cup on 7/17 and Commonwealth Clash 9/22.  I don't see WoO swinging back only a week later to hit Lville again on 7/23 or 7/24.  Sharon though, hmmmmm...

I don't see Sharon, they haven't had an Outlaw date in 10 years and will have been coming off 2 all-star races the previous 4 weeks (speedweeks and Lou Blaney memorial). It would be awesome though on the new red clay seeing guys like Sheldon or Gravel running up on the fence. 

Mercer, I'd love to see them at that place. 

I grew up going to Grandview, and the parking situation there sucks for every big show. I've always arrived very early and tailgated for hours beforehand because I know how quickly the place fills up.

The major issues there are 1) The lot is pretty small to begin with and 2) If you get there early its like Thunderdome. No rules. Wanna park with a giant two-car- and-change space between your trucks so you can play cornhole? Go ahead. Wanna park and save three spots for your buddies who dont plan to show up around 630?? Go ahead. Doesn't matter that there are people circling around looking for spaces. I've witnessed both of those just last year.

Bottom line, I love the racing there, it was my home track, and because of that it'll always have a soft spot in my heart for it. But..... when it comes to parking and getting the best seats, the saying "timing is everything" comes to mind.
