Told ya he be at pms the 27!

That is HUGH!
To add Tim with Chad Kemenah and Danny Smith all they need is Dale.

They can sign all the drivers they want, but if all the top tracks are in bed with Guy Webb, where the hell are they going to race?

[OldRaceFan]

Maybe you should phrase that differently: If they can sign all the drivers who will race with Guy Webb's All-Stars? Don't think the fans will pay $20 - $25 to watch a handful of local drivers go around a track.

 

Just curious why all the tracks are in bed with Guy Webb? Could it be that the purses have remained the same for years, yet every year the admission and pit fees have increased. Only asking.

Some of the tracks that the All Stars said they were committed to have already called bullshit on that release. Like everything else, Guy Webb is promising some shit he can't deliver.

Tracks want big name drivers to sell tickets , if the renegades provide that they will have tracks wanting them ...

what BIG NAME. Drivers do they have? Most are basically locals.they are Fremont Attica FAST series cars.

Schaffer is the only dude to win Knoxville since 2006 not named Donny Schatz

Series X has 13 drivers so far committed to run their series. Will all of them run all the races?? Probably not. Will other drivers jump on board. More than likely.

 

Series Y has 1 driver faithful to them as of now. Will others jump on board?? Maybe??

 

If you were a track owner looking to fill the pits and stands from a business stand point what series do you think is going to most likely turn you a profit???

Any drivers are better than the ONE driver the All Stars currently have going into next season.

I'd say Tim Shaffer and Chad Kemenah are some big names

[starboyshady]

Yeah.... I'd say TIM SHAFFER is a top notch , people get confused because he lives local , BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT , HE BEEN PUTTIN BOOTS TO ASSES ALL OVER THE COUNTRY FOR AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER

[Paul55]

Shaffer runs on half the budget 99% of these teams have and still kicks ass and runs up front a decent amount!

I am speaking as a fan and I know what some think of fans opinions because we are not on the inside. I think the drivers have things they want when they run with a series. The one series has been going down a little each year. They also travel too far, there is another series called the WOO that goes from coast to coast.  Give these guys a chance. Not everyone is fortunate to race on a large budget but they love the sport and they want to have the opportunity to run some higher paying races at some of the top tracks in the east. The men and women who have signed on with this series have many years of experience and will but on a good show. I hope Mercer, Sharon, Lernerville and even Tri -City Raceway Park support these owners and drivers no matter what type of race it is. As one driver put it they just want to race what is best for their team not be labeled as one over the other. For me I want to see the best drivers no matter what series it is. 

[starboyshady]

Most Racers / Car owners DO appriciate what the "fans" think and want to see ... Because without you , the bleachers would be empty and the little pay we do get would get smaller.... Lol. But I'm also going to say this , there was quite a few "issues" with the All-stars that alot of teams didn't like & Renegades has addressed those problems , so it's alot more appealing to the teams that signed on the dotted line

[rocket2L]

I figured that there were issues but I did not want to speak about something that was not out in the open. I want to go an watch this series.

[Crusty1]

One thing the All Stars have is the name All Stars!
Sprint car fans recognize the name.
The last 3 races they had Dale Blaney and the Wild Child and still over 30 cars showed.
If the All Stars have a show they will have fans and cars, the local drivers will go for the money.
Look at Attica & Port Royal the locals supported the show.
This may even be a better deal for Guy Webb if he only has to pay one or two full time drivers a points fund !!!

[D1RT]

And they still would have had over 30 cars at Port Royal and Attica without the All Stars sanction.....

And your point?
My Point is if Guy has the race they will be there.
The All Stars have the name the track contacts it's going to be a very interesting year.
I hope the Renegades can pull it off.
