This Tuesday night Real Racin’ USA once again presents an awesome lineup of guests with something to suit the taste of any race fan.
Our special guests in the Short Track America room at the Snook River Grill this week is Rob Partelo and crew, winners of the ASA Late Model Camp Boggy Creek 100. The race was the best late model race Florida fans have seen in years, and the level of competition was an eye opener.
There has been much talk and in some quarters a lot of argument about crate motors. The race that was just held at Bronson may put to rest some of the arguments against them, as they certainly seem to be the way of the future for racing. When you can put 28 cars on the track and nearly all of the them were highly competitive one with another, the fans love it.
The ASA race at Bronson was without a doubt a superior product of the fans than anything seen in Florida in many years. Opinions of those who were there are almost unanimous in expressing that feeling.
Short Track America and KARNAC.com made a decision in October of 2006 to scale back our coverage of the ProCup in order to be able to give full efforts to coverage of the ASA Late Model series. After the race Saturday night at Bronson, we feel certain this was a good decision.
The ARCA ReMax Series makes its very first trip to USA International Speedway this coming Saturday night. Don Radebaugh, ARCA Media Director, will bring fans the latest information about the race and what to expect at the Lakeland, Fl. event. Bryan Silas of Stuart, Fl, driving for Andy Hillenburg’s race team on the ARCA tour will also be joining the show to talk about his expectations for the race.
If you missed them you can listen to several recent interviews with ARCA drivers including Mario Gosselin, Tim Russell and Michelle Theriault in our archives.
The International Motorsports Academy, a premier go-kart and motorsports learning center in Southwest Florida, will be featured. Owner Jennifer Stringer and several of her racers, the future of short track racing, will be on the Real Racin’ USA show.
John Sarppraicone, owner of DeSoto Super Speedway will be in the studios and had issued a challenge to modified drivers or car owners to come discuss answers to the growing problem with Open Wheel Modified racing in Florida. Recent car counts have plummeted to all time lows at some tracks, and there seems to be a lot of unrest among the drivers. Sarppraicone, always speaks what it on his mind, so this should prove to spark some nerves.
In other items of interest, Short Track America’s web site is undergoing a transformation as we move to simplify our schedules and prepare for the release of our our 24 hour a day broadcasting schedule. By sometime in April or early May we will be providing race fans with racing entertainment around the clock streaming right to your computer at the click of a mouse.
Announcements will soon be made about the new upcoming premiere of the weekly ASA Late Model show on Short Track America, three months in the making, to cover the rising stars of late model racing in America.
If you have an idea for a racing show, or would like to be a part of the excitement at Short Track America, give us a call at 941-228-8359. We are always looking for new ways to get the word out about the extreme excitement of motorsports.
