Well what did you hear?  Are they going to raise the food prices,and sell even worse cheese burgers?  Are they going to make the mini stock's the premier division in western PA? Are the stock cars going to be allowed round tube chassis with four bar suspension, and quick change rear differential's? What else could they possibly do to enhance their racing program,and make the night a success? Wow we are all sitting on the edge of our seat's waiting for the scoop.

Sharon is putting down a new surface, hopefully it is better than the last surface material they got... got to give them credit for putting forth an effort to improve the racing surface...

It would be nice to see Mercer drop the AllStars and go with the Renegades working with Tri City and make a attractive weekend for fans and teams alike. JMO

I would like to see them drop the mini stocks and mod lites and run 4 divisions. Hope they decide to run the renegades this year. And I think if your going to be a " sprint car track" then I think they should add on a section of bigger bleachers and get the outlaws there for a show. Would also like to see them give the 358 mods a weekend and have big show and pull some cars down from New York and try and get like 50 mods. Ya I know I want a lot and even if I do t get it I will be there supporting them ever weekend this year

I would agree!!  The number of active Late Models based within an hour of Mercer is rather small except for some Pittsburgh cars a good hour away. And I doubt many of them would want to go from racing that big half-mile to a much smaller "bull-ring".  Now is not the time to be changing much in the way of classes anywhere with car counts everywhere on the slim side!!   Even with gasoline dropping in price, most race teams are going to stay close to home and spare the expense of an hour or two haul on the road.

 

GOOD RACING TO ALL!!

 

Walt

And I think you can forget a about a Renegade race at Mercer after the Renegades scheduled against Mercer in August.  And the Outlaws, forget about that as long as the World Racing Group owns Lernerville and the series!!

No I did not, I only live about 10 minuets from track, will take a ride out to look, will keep posted, was told this from a VERY reliable source but we all know how that goes...

I hope they change something. Can't keep doing the same thing year after year and expect different results. Drop the little cars and work on putting on an entertaining race. I'm sorry but mod lites and mini stocks are no fun to watch there.

My bet is on the 5k team for next year. They have the best funding on the local scene

I certainly hope they improve the concessions, they are the worst of any track I have ever been to.

I agree if I ran Mercer I would tell the Renegades to stick it!
As far as the Outlaws and WRG is there bad blood?

They also have the worst bleachers IMO

How about starting by cleaning the mens room in the pits!
It smells like the ZOO
