Ideas for NEXT February

[Boneman]

Dreaming about 2018 speedweeks....

Non-traditional events are cool. I remember "Battle at the Beach", it was a good race, and looked pretty successful by local standards. The world figure 8 championship should be neat, but I am not sure how that has been working out. I went a few years ago and there was lots of turmoil.

The Big Kahuna? The winged super-modifieds at New Smyrna! Yeah, I love all racing, but I am actually an open-wheeled snob. I think sprints and supers are more exciting to watch than fendered cars. Supers at NSS, and maybe a few nights around the area would be cool; the Florida fans are starved for them.

The dirt LM on pavement idea is a good one too. I bet it could work with so damn many dirt cars in the state at that time.

Wouldn't it be great if the track sites posted a printable, or print friendly schedule? A few tracks so this, but most require you to take a screen shot or copy it by hand. Some of us make schedule spreadsheets, and a printable doc would help.

All I can say is

Supermodifieds,Supermodifieds,Supermodifieds!!!!! I have lobbied for them for the last couple of years but it falls on deaf ears.Denny Meyer at Desoto just says they want to much guaranteed purse to pull down here.I have went to the annual Hy-Miler race at Sandusky (Ohio) Speedway and the crowd that comes makes the crowd at 4-17 this past Saturday pale in comparison and at 35 bucks a head.Their big fan base is New York state,New England,Ohio and Michigan.Those people are in Florida in droves in the winter months.They are willing to pay that kind of money to see them.Mr.Gentry had the dirt late models at 4-17 about a month ago and while only six cars raced they put on a hell of a show which included a four wide maneuver through turn two(which they pulled off cleanly) and most of the crowd stuck around to the end to watch them run.I hope he invites them back and invites the dirt open wheel mods to join in together with them.
