Responce?

The Warrior region can't survive with as many races as they had at US36 last year.  When relative locals like Brown and Lasoski would rather sit home than run there, you have a big problem.  The track seemed to improve as the year went on, but it was customary to see the cars bounce side to side sliding through 1 and 2.  With LA dropping sanctioning and the rest of the area tracks, except for the Valley, closed, they are going to have a hard time finding tracks that 20-24 cars will show up at 15-18 times a season.  LA seems to be a good track in a good environment.  If they make the points worth racing for, I can see drivers choosing to be there all season, fitting Warrior races in around it.  No one can win the Warrior title without racing at US36, and those drivers that don't race there (Martin, Bellm, Allenbaugh, Blank, etc.) may be enticed to commit to weekly shows at LA.  I would certainly enjoy the LA option on weeks not in Knoxville.

I remember those Friday nights....Some of those were really good races!

So is it a lack of rule enforcement or a problem with US36? That track has had that same problem in turn 1 for as long as I can remember, so I don't see anything changing there. I always wondered at what point do you avoid the track altogether as opposed to avoiding the obstacle on the track and racing around it, and I think I saw it last year with a lot of guys choosing to save equipment and stay away. It's a shame. I love the place and was glad to see that he expanded his schedule last year so I'd hate to see it scaled back this coming season.

If they're looking for other tracks, CMS is reopening.

As Scott makes a good part of his living by supporting ASCS, I can't see how his opinion can be consdered valid!

HAHAHAHA.... I've been wondering for a couple days where the line is between journalist and PR representative. Also been wondering if the races at LA are going to get and coverage/stories on the biggest racing site in the midwest. Also trying to remember if Lake Ozark speedway got hammered this hard when they ran a weekly 360 show.

Loose is when you hit the wall with the rear of the
car, tight is when you hit the wall with the front of
the car. Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall and
torque is how far you move the wall.

I was unable to find the " original " payout.  But I wasn't surprised.

So does that mean we should discredit any opinion you have on that 305 nonsense since you have a financial/sponsorship stake in teams?

305's are the herpes of sprint cars

So it's OK for ASCS to go about their business and not worry about other tracks and series but if a track or series does the same thing to ASCS it's bad for the area.    OK, gotcha.   Lol.

Actually Cajunis#1 I sponsor cars from WOO to Go Karts.  But you can take what I have to say as you wish.  This is America.  I don't make a substancial part of my living promoting the group. I spend!

The part im not getting is how they are going to be named WOW if ASCS bought the right ' everything that goes with it. I see lawsuit coming if thats true. Can someone with credible info clear that up. Thx!

The main point I got out of the interview was that they don't want to travel or it isn't so feasible with fuel costs and time to get to some places on Friday nights. I understand that these guys are low budget teams, but if you're mainly sticking to one track how does that help grow the sport and draw in new fans? Maybe that's not what they're shooting for but splitting what's left of sprint car racing in Missouri sure doesn't sound like it's going to help it. Seems like Mr. Simpson and this new group has cleverly laid their hand on the table by putting a schedule out before the ASCS, almost ensuring that when the Warrior region schedule comes out and dates overlap the ASCS guys will be the ones frowned upon for the conflicts.

So, when's that schedule come out, January??

I hope the ASCS schedules at CMS and XX when the dates overlap....

I think the schedules come out at PIR

I think racing weekly at 1 track makes it easier to make new fans. You can take freinds there a lot more often that to a series that only races close by 1 or 2 times a year. The new fans can get to know the drivers easier and then they will be more likely to follow them when they do travel to other area tracks to race with a traveling series.

I would like to hear what he had to say but it takes me to a subscribe page. Any way to hear it without that?
