so has the former ulms/uems cut ties with the I90/I86 tracks that have supported them for years? Seems like both series are being based mostly within radius' of pittsburgh. This could be because eriez and 7 release their schedules in march/april and haven't committed and stateline is.....who knows. Or it could be a huge oversight, forgetting most of the drivers who have supported these series over the years. I hope not the latter of the two. Forcing the likes of hess, knight, davies, dunn, michael, crotty, vena, scott etc to constantly travel hours to follow "regional" tours they have in years past might not be the greatest of ideas in this economy... Just thinking aloud

My guess is that tracks such as Eriez, Sharon, and Raceway 7 can host unsanctioned specials and still pull in 30+ mods and not have to pay the sanctioning costs. Not to mention many of the top emod drivers already run weekly at one, two, or all 3 of these tracks anyway.

Love the Black Rock and Raceway 5 dates!

I do as well....Raceway 5 is only an hour or so from me. As usual though the question is how many cars will they draw?
