Event names
A classic example of how things never change....
DSS has had a history of using the events names from New England. And this speedway usually jabs at guys from up north and trying to bring ideas down here to Florida: if I was Stafford or Thompson speedway:i'd be calling you out!
Way to go marketing genius you are.........
Ice Breaker etc. etc. etc.
So just use them all:
Spring Sizzler
Fall Final
Ice Breaker
Summer ShootOut (NC)
OctoberFest
World Series
How about just putting on a show............ -
The "Icebreaker" has been run at Desoto since the early 80's FYI

I was just pointing out that the current staff did not just come up with the name. It has been the opening Late Model race at Desoto for many years.Code:Hey Rick, The Thompson Ice Breaker has been named that since 1967 being the first Modified event of the year! Einstein!!!

Rick, this has been going on for sometime. He points it out and you jump em kind a and call him a Genius. Guess he is. Hangover race on New Years day came from Sandusky Speedway in Ohio. Many use that name now. Funny, you all in the South do hate North people. You think we have no idea. We know nothing and you all have come up with it. But yet North idea's are used and you all say "hey look what I came up with." Its going on just a tad bit north of Fla. as we speak.Comment

Why in the hell would ASA return there in the first place? I thought King John showed his true colors by shoving a woman around last time they were in town, and they decided to load up and leave, rather than patronize this illustrious leader.
Then again, with 17 different versions of "ASA" racing, who knows if there is any connection at all with the other group.Comment

Hi Jerry, I am 99 percent sure that this is the ASA RC Cola/Moon Pie Series. They brought a ton of cars, promotion and fans to their gig at Lanier in the fall. From what I saw, a very well run organization and a lot of asphalt heavy hitters follow this tour.Comment

The ASA southern division has its opening race at CCMP 3/14 I think it is. Maybe its one of the northern divisions. I don't think it was the one that was there before. Oh by the way you northerners, we red necks do come up with sumthin sum times. When we release one of them straps on our overalls we can think sum. At Auburndale last week the World figue 8 tour was there and michael Cherry Whopped a mess of them Yankees. He Got 2nd in the 100 lapper but ther was a lot of them hi doler northern cars behind him.

I wasn't jumping on anyone I was just pointing out that this has been run long before the current owners of Desoto were in place.

It was the "Icebreaker" at Thompson; it's been the Icebreaker 125 at DeSoto for many years as well - or at least, it *was* the Icebreaker 125. That race used to be run in January, I believe. It was run before Speedweeks originally in the '80s when it was first held at DeSoto, if I recall.
And the "original" ASA Late Model series? Don't think so. How many cars from out of state will show? How many "big names" will be there? Trickle, Shear, Miller, Martin, Wallace, Fair, Burgess...*that* was the "original" ASA Series in my opinion.Comment

Jimmy I couldn't agree more. ASA USED to be a good fun race. It was a true breeding ground to the big time. Steve Dale took care of that. No offense but both ASA groups now have basical become overated overpaid late model races. My opinion take the same purse and run a open show or a CRA show and you'll have a better bang for the buck. ASA was a breeding ground for Hooters or ARCA. Not even seeing alot of that now.Comment
