Well it looks like the 3 drivers that have plans to follow the circuit did not fair to well in Florida. As many have mentioned I wonder how long it may be before they pull the plug on those plans. Yes, it was and is early, I do wish them the best. I just don't think the experience is there for them to take on this endeavor. It is going to be a lot of first time tracks just like Volusia.

I think you need to look at the sign in sheet before you say they did not fare well in Florida.  Those races may have been all star sanctioned but, without actually counting, probably had more outlaw drivers than all star drivers.  Keep in mind the all stars are a regional series, travelling to florida is a luxury for most.  I think Brandon will hold his own once they get rolling in Ohio/PA.  Not so sure about the rest of the team.  Good luck to them.

MODFAN1 is correct here. The Florida All Star races were stacked with WoO drivers plus the likes of Posse drivers such as Greg Hodnett & Danny Dietrich.  So one really can't judge the Matus-Garvin team until they get into "regular" All Star races here and in Ohio!!   The All Stars have 9 races at 7 tracks scheduled here in the western PA area and they should be quite interesting!!

 

GOOD RACING TO ALL!!

As far as the "sign in sheet", you're going to have stacked fields at the majority of All-Star shows this year. Whether its in PA or OH it will be a loaded field.

 

Their struggle is going to be against new tracks they've never seen, not against other drivers.

But not WoO drivers and I doubt you will see Hodnett & Dietrich at many Ohio races!!  And probably not here either except for Bedford!!

I think they can drive. Again, I wish these guys the best. For the most part I don't know if they have been outside the western pa tracks. As for who was there I agree. Will they see these guys regularly. I doubt it, but my point was and is they were at a track that I don't know if any of them have been to. No notes, and I just think that is going to be there largest hurdle to overcome.
