Just saw a web-site that has a new Tour listed, running at tracks such as Eldora, Nashville, South Boston.... and NEW SMYRNA SPEEDWAY in 2008, with a 10 race schedule, with a 2-day Championship series held at NSS in February of 2009. Check out these top-notch talents they have on the drivers list:
00 Johnny Rumley
32 Tim Fedewa
75 Bob Schacht
08 Bobby Dotter
44 Andy Santerre
92 Larry Pearson
7 Harry Gant
46 Carl Long
98 Larry Pollard
11 Andy Hillenburg
48 James Harvey Hylton
Geoff Bodine
11 Jack Ingram
59 Robert Pressley
Derrike Cope

Before you get too excited, lets see if it really does come to pass. They do have drivers, tracks and a schedule. But if it DOES, it will be worth seeing I'm sure!

Wow! There are some legendary drivers in that group. This tour is a really cool idea. I hope it happens.

Frasson...

So what was the website?

[Pun33]

would be great to see these guys back in a car, but what cars??they say who will field the cars and what kind??

Here's the web-site...

I'll definitely go to NSS for that race, but they need to change their eligibility requirements. Some of those guys shouldn't be in there.

Tim Fedewa? Carl Long? Derrike Cope? These guys just aren't good enough to get and keep a ride these days. Derrike Cope still races in trucks and busch. And Carl Long still races late models.

Was thinking the same thing Trip.....I would like to see the stars of yesteryear though...like my hero James Hylton.

Bet they'll race in Bandolero Cars, or Mini-Cups. Hope not.

If you go to the site it shows them building the cars under the "production" header. THey look like a combo of Hooters cars and latemodels.

I kind of wonder why they did not just scrape up the IROC cars or even the now useless cup cars. ANyway, it looks like they will have cars to race.

July 3rd should be a good night at NSS. The "old school" race along with the CLyde Hart 200.

Looks like it could be fun to watch.

I've seen David Pearson race a couple of times on dirt in charity races before moving to Florida. The guy is still a racer and just as aggressive as he ever was. James Hylton has retired so many times I've lost count, and he is as competitive as Pearson. Heck, I might go just to say hello to Pearson again. I haven't seen him since my family and I moved away from Boiling Springs SC over 5 years ago. I wonder if he will remember me?

[Benny The Mule]

That series would surely be worth seeing!

[Frasson118]

I'm surprised they didn't say anything about it at the Governors Cup on Saturday night. Seems to me it would have been a great time to start pumping it up.

How about an old SLM series. Hanley, Eddy, Senneker, Miller, Trickle, Ridley, guys like that.
