I would be happy to see them extend the length of races....IF...there were no fuel stops. Make them go back to the big tanks.
I don't care what group (series, etc) you watch...occasionally, you are going to get a real sleeper.
Yes, even with the travelers!

Not trying to be negative , just telling it as I see it . Have not seen a good outlaw race this year only at Knoxville and in PA , sorry don't like their format .

Not trying to be negative but.
Stay home or go watch something else if you don't like their format why go
But I am not trying to be negative but I like to go so I can not like it ?
Like I said if you got about 5 million laying around to get started You could do it your way and see how it works

My rule has always been 2/3/3/2---out of every 10 races you go see you will see: 2 sleepers, 3 average races, 3 above average races and 2 barn burners!!! If i look back at all of the races if have ever seen, this seems to be the average.
Far as the fuel stops, take em or leave em for me. I really have no strong feelings one way or the other, but we CAN agree on the length of the races. Make em all 200 laps!!! Seriously though, 50 laps is nice.

Been going to WoO races since the first one they ever had in NODAK country and been to hundreds and hundreds in the midwest since then. Never went home disappointed in the racing. Went home dirty several times though. Of course I've rarely been disappointed in any dirt track race I've went to, including weekly local tracks. Except for that damned dirt. What the hay!
Adding $6 trillion of debt in his 1st term and now if
elected again he wouldn't have to worry about an
electorate in 2016 so the sky is the limit.And his EPA
would continue to put the screws to oil drilling and
mining for coal.Can you say bankruptcy.

I think we are all being a little too critical of the WOO, this year in particular. I have even voiced my
opinions a time or two. But, for the most part, they have done a pretty good job this year i think. It cant
be easy to get the cards to fall night after night so that the qualifying, heat races and dashes get the lineup
just right come A main time. There is plenty of chances for the smaller budget teams to get in the show
and them money. The right cars usually win, and occasionally we are treated to an upset. Lets review
the season:
1. Kings royal--last lap pass
2. Myers wins from 18th starting spot
3. Freddy wins from 24th (?-23rd?)
4. 17 different A main winners!!!--repeat 17 different winners!!
5. A fierce points battle with a month to go--2 points!!!--and very likely a first time champ!
6. An uprising from the "senior citizens"--King, Haud, and Sammie-14 A main wins i believe
7. More drama with the PA Posse vs. Outlaws--still more to come
8. Two races within days with an under .1 second margin of victory
9. Great crowds even in this bad economy
10. We dont live in Cuba and get to watch sprint car racing without being flogged!!!!!

I agree 100%
Only got to go to one this year, so far , but it was the Ironman 55, at Pevely, MO
I'm definatly not complaining.

Key is if I had the money and that qualifies you to run a show
You would buy something you don't even go see
You would change thing from close observation , good plan
I bet the drivers would give you a warm welcome

I see the racing, but not like I use too , as it's been boring to me and alot of other fans .The good thing is WRG and WoO is listening to fans after 30 years , so all fans keep the cards, letters and e-mails coming .
If they listen to the right people , fans , drivers and owners their product will continue to improve . COSTS ARE THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM IN WINGED SPRINT CAR RACING , What would you do to hold down costs ? Mr . Vanh ? I like all racing I just don't like the way it is headed ?

We have some of the closest point races ever and had one of the closest nationals in years. Where is the bad racing?
Cost is the number one problem with everything not just racing. It cost more to go on vacation and more to go to a ball game and the kid wants to take a $300.00 Ipod or a phone that has the INTERNET on it so they have something to do. What the price of the car that you drive the track did it go up?
When did the big boys not spend the money? I am only 67 so maybe it was before my time
Technology will all ways cost money and that is not done in the back yard any more.
What would you like except get in free.
When was racing cheep
If I was newbie and listen to you guys complain about how bad it is and cost are out of hand and the racing is not as good I would not go either.
I know open trailers and dualy pickups or you can't run
