The steel block class was supposed to be a cheaper alternative to help save the racers money. But lets be honest here. The only people saving money with the steel block class is the track owners.

Thanks Kip. You point out the 900 lb gorilla in the room.. 2 late model classes is plenty, Super and crate. We need more unified rules, not more classes of pretty much the same cars.

This is why we can't have nice things. Lotsa naysayers and cynics already.

We will be accepting items for Sunday's silent auction and lap sponsors on Sat night.. More details to come during the week. See you next week!

Jim, thanks for posting this.. A lot of truth in that article. Racing's problems also run much deeper.. most kids these days have little interest in the car culture in general or racing in particular. How many young racers do you see at the local tracks? And how many of them are first generation racers? We were brought up in an era before I-pads, 200 cable channels, snapchat and instagram, we played outside.. bicycles led to motorcycles then to cars, and for many of us race cars. Times have changed, we must try and grow our sport.. tearing it down by bitching and whining anonymously on various forms of social does just the opposite. Just my two cents, see you at the track!

As the Buckeye Machine BOSS championship battle nears the halfway point, the stars and cars of the tour head back into Pennsylvania for a doubleheader weekend. Friday night will find the wingless warriors battling on the historic 4/10 mile Lernerville Speedway in Sarver, Pennsylvania. On Saturday, the tour will make history once again as they attack America's Motorsports Park in Clearfield, Pennsylvania. This will mark the first time wingless sprint cars have ever run at the 1/4 mile semi banked facility.

On Saturday night, the drivers will get their first look at America's Motorsports Park. This quarter mile first opened in 1992 and operated in the past under the names Hidden Valley Speedway and Gambler's Speedway. Sprint car owner/driver Jeff Taylor is now in his second season at AMP and he is excited for the first ever appearance of non wing sprint cars at his facility. The small bullring should prove to be a great equalizer especially considering it is neutral ground for tour regulars. Many of the tracks 305 competitors are expected to try their luck running wingless and they will have the home track advantage.

For teams planning to make the weekend trip, gates at Lernerville open at 5 pm. At AMP gates will be open all day for the traveling teams. Both tracks require raceceivers and mufflers are not required at either track. Methanol will be available at both tracks and Precise Racing will be supplying us with free transponders. Pit passes both nights are $30. The official BOSS hotels are both in Clearfield. The Super 8 Hotel is $68 per night and their phone number is 814-768-7580. Also, the Hampton Inn is offering rooms for $85 per night and their number is 814-765-8300. The hotels are located close to each other and a Sheetz is within walking distance for the convenience of the race teams. Please remember to ask for the "BOSS Auto Racers Rate for AMP". Fans following the tour are also welcome to use these hotels and ask for the discounted rate!

Also on the card for Saturday full 5 division show with a special guest appearance by legendary driver Red Farmer who will be competing in the late model division.

Just wondering if they are going to post the pay outs or if your the bullshit we should not be listening to. Web site was updated but no pay increases. SPOON. click click

I don't do the website.. I just sent Terry a message to have the payouts changes posted as soon as he can (he's at Dog Hollow now). If you wanna talk shit, at least be enough of a man to put your name on it.

Not sure that wasn't the plan all along...

About 95% of this thread has been total bullshit..(roughly 10% higher than average on here). The track has no intention of closing or changing days. Website will be updated in next day or two, purse cuts have been restored with a couple changes in pay back through the field. Once again hiding behind screen names makes everybody an authority on everything... If you're gonna stir the shitpot, you may have to lick the spoon...
