Rush wants domination of all racing. Fastrack is attempting to get shock costs under control.

Hard on. No. I got my knuckles busted, we stayed up all night to make schmuckers or motordrome the next night.

Do you see the tracks which are running 358 late models, they don't want crate racing. Who do you think is to blame ? Promotors. They let it get so far out of control that Lester saw what was happening and took all the pressure off there backs. Today you as a promotor just pick up the phone and say yes we will take your series in for x ammount of races. Vicki was a good promotor at mercer, she is all a good businesslady.

Today you don't have to have knowledge of how to build a car. I wonder how many of today's crate racers know how to drop a oil pan to change bearings. Ball joints today screw in. You don't need torches.

Today's racer needs a bank account.

Fastrak will be expanding sanctioned classes this year. Looks like they are trying to get shock cost under control, in a few more classes. LOL This is per their Facebook page.

 

5 new weekly classes coming with World Championship style events:

602 Sportsman Open Wheel Mods
602 NE style Modifieds
602 Late Models

I always liked going to Latrobe (Schmucker's) Speedway, but I wish they would have picked another race night.  You have Dog Hollow now running on Saturday, maybe Marion Center, Hummingbird, PPMS, maybe Roaring Knob, Mercer, Sharon, and Jennerstown all in the mix..  There are only so many fans to go around, not to mention race cars.  I could not care less which sanction their Crate Late Models run under, and wish them well.  It's always nice to see an old track come back from the dead, and I will definitely make a few of their shows in 2019.

You should get your facts straight the 55 did build a new car last year and ran it 3/4 of the races.

Maybe Andrew Gordon just enjoys racing in the Pure Stock Division and has no interest as of right now in another class. You ever think of that?

I'm sorry I never heard of this guy until he showed up on the Ohio penn tour. Sorry hopefully you can forgive me for not knowing his past.
