NOT nascar BIG 3 - Late Model / Modified Thread

Dirt or paved. I don't care. I need something other that NASCAR to watch this year but need your help. K&N East / West series and ARCA deserve their own thread but....

World of Outlaws - Dirt
Modified (I guess that's technically still NASCAR) - Dirt and Paved
Anyone have a kickass regional series I can follow?
Is there still a Hooters ProCup Series?
Powder Puff?

Anything. I want to check it out.

So check in on the American Open Wheel thread in the Indycar forum. That is name that I still recognize. Don't they race the "wrong" direction in Oz?

Yeah, Brunswick is a haul but it'll be "your temperature".

Dixie and Rome are the same weekend as PLM and I am not sure how "safe" Ringold Speedway is.


Speaking of a going to a fight and seeing a race break out, let's go to Winder-Barrow sometime this year.

Think they run the same direction in Sprintcars. What about WoOutlaws Late Model Series, is that similar to the Lucs Oils Series?

It's difficult to get coverage here. At least one can easily avoid the results enough to find someplace to watch. Regardless, that's what this is about; I want to learn more and follow more so maybe I can find something (or others can) where we can watch and follow.

I shall no longer sit around and watch the racing television tells me I should. I shall seek out what I want to see.

40th annual Winternationals at East Bay Raceway Park in Tampa area continues this weekend (been going on since Feb 8) for the Lucas Oil Dirt Series. Missed the Golden Isles

Assuming this is the rebroadcast:

After the Winternationals, there'll be a bit of a break until Mid March.

Bowman Gray is on my bucket list. Not for a Winston-Salem State Div II football game, even though that would be cool. One of the few "in town" tracks remaining, I think.

Nick and Matt, I'd like to hear more about your experiences this year at your home tracks. Closest to me is Winder Barrow where there's a fight every weekend and a race breaks out. I may brave a visit this year. Its dirt but now that Lanier and Peach State (Grisham) are inactive, the closest asphalt oval is AMS, I think.

I'd still like to try and get Greenville Pickens for a K&N race but the March race will be a tall order. Just wish there was something closer.

A buddy of mine and myself do the Icebreaker and World Series at Thompson every year.

I really don't get out to any other short tracks during the year as most of my Saturday nights are taken up crewing for my buddies Late Model at the New London-Waterford Speedbowl in southeastern CT. Best track in the state for actual racing, 3/8 mile and two actual grooves so you can run side-by-side for laps. New owner is pumping a lotttttttttttt of money into the facility this year. Gone are the armco barriers in the corners, replaced with concrete. All new electrical system for the track lights, new scoreboard, an additional pit gate on the exit of 2, and brand new catch fencing all the way around(lets hope its black so you can see through it). Grandstands to be torn down and rebuilt between the '16 and '17 seasons.

I really don't get out to any other short tracks during the year as most of my Saturday nights are taken up crewing for my buddies Late Model at the New London-Waterford Speedbowl in southeastern CT. Best track in the state for actual racing, 3/8 mile and two actual grooves so you can run side-by-side for laps. New owner is pumping a lotttttttttttt of money into the facility this year. Gone are the armco barriers in the corners, replaced with concrete. All new electrical system for the track lights, new scoreboard, an additional pit gate on the exit of 2, and brand new catch fencing all the way around(lets hope its black so you can see through it). Grandstands to be torn down and rebuilt between the '16 and '17 seasons.
The "Speedbowl"! Love the name.

Place looks neat with tons of history. I'll have to read up on this later,

Good stuff and glad to see money being pumped into a shorttrack!

There's a LOT of races uploaded from the track since 2010-ish.

There's a group of people that handle the tracks media and pump out a ton of videos, at one point they had the full features from every race every week going up. Now it's mainly just a ~20min highlights package every week.
