Hey St Francois County MO Raceway you need to grow a set put yourself on the sprint car map and pick up the August 1st date you need to have a big sprint car race the Queens Royal is just the local jokels I've heard the fans from there screaming for a big sprint car race ever since the NSL was there quite a few years ago........

Don't understand why Farmington won't try bringing in the All-Stars
Their local fan commitment is tremendous. Imagine what would it be for Tony's crew
The days of the Queen's Royal bringing in the big travelers is essentially over. But it is a good higher paying show for the weekly guys (who do a great job)

Farmington is probably the only weekly wing 410 track that doesn't run any sanctioned race. The list is certainly short. They don't even run a MOWA race anymore. I'm not sure which side is the hold up there. Probably both. A lot of guys don't want to race there for various reasons that have developed over the years. But you're right. People would pack the place for a big series race.

I see they dropped the 2 upstate NY tracks, Lebanon Valley & Middletown
No big loss, closest tracks for me but the racing was boring every time I went. People said thats cause they were set up for modifieds, I don't understand track prep enough to really get it, except maybe not much banking?

I assume Middletown will have a WoO race.
Lebanon Valley is dangerous for sprint cars and doesn't get good car counts. The WoO stopped going there and the All Stars haven't drawn as well as the WoO did.

Never having been to Lebanon Valley, why is it specifically dangerous for sprint cars? Do these dangers not affect other types of race cars run there?
Signature here.

Lots of fans when I went for Allstars, but a boring race
My first visit was Steve Kinser's LAST race.
Sammy won

Why do you assume that?
Were they scheduled this past summer?

It's high banked and super fast, and if memory serves, turns 3 and 4 have no catch fence so if you do flip, you're flipping out of the track and down a hill.The walls don't look very well constructed either.
Lucus Wolfe broke his back in a crash there in 2018.
They race DIRT mods there mostly, those cars obviously don't come close to the speed of a sprint car.
