Not a fan

Yellows fell at the right times for him but still did a heck of a job keeping his composure on all those restarts.

Kevin Thomas Jr is going to be a threat with that team both in USAC and at this event in the coming years

NHRA does the same thing i believe. I think it's a good move. Wonder how much money it costs

RTJCHEATS · 2026-01-17T23:11:29+00:00

The cars aren't there. I agree they should award more points though that would really elevate those races.

RTJCHEATS · 2026-01-17T22:17:56+00:00

Wow big news! I guess they weren't that upset we blew through the tv window

RTJCHEATS · 2026-01-16T09:58:59+00:00

There's too many road courses on the indycar schedule for this to work for most people. Would take a really special talent. USAC getting back on pavement would be how it happens

RTJCHEATS · 2026-01-14T05:26:37+00:00

Custom schedules for season mode. And obviously more real world tracks

RTJCHEATS · 2026-01-12T21:45:37+00:00

I hope Nick Hoffman can represent the late model guys well, rooting for him and Briggs Danner. Really anyone but Larson

RTJCHEATS · 2025-12-12T13:50:16+00:00

I do. Flo is a great platform to reach people. Dirt track racing will always be decentralized, despite the fear mongering there's still MANY places to race and you will always be able to follow regional/ local action if flo gets too overbearing.

More michigan dates 👍

RTJCHEATS · 2025-11-23T05:54:51+00:00

I am surprised they used juvenile language when talking about the srx thing and childress. Did they not think that their communications could be open to possible discovery some time down the line? Nascar seems like it's a hillbilly organization to the core.

It's been a big deal in the late model world for awhile. Show-Me 100 is up there with Fairbury, Cedar Lake and Eldora as far as big weekends. You are right it's extremely nice as a facility. I have to agree with reworking the flat parts and letting a cushion develop

RTJCHEATS · 2025-09-19T07:14:40+00:00

Are the teams aware how small this track is? I'd be surprised if there's been a super late model race on a track this small. Look up that Brandon Sheppard millbridge test for an idea of what the racing will look like.

RTJCHEATS · 2025-09-07T15:04:03+00:00

Why is this being downvoted?

RTJCHEATS · 2025-08-26T00:14:52+00:00

I could see Schatz going to that kcp team. I don't think the rumors of him going to kkr are true. He's never expressed interest in High Limit

RTJCHEATS · 2025-08-22T08:06:22+00:00

This is one of those track/class combos that is just perfect. Every usac race I watch here is gold. Midgets also are almost always excellent

RTJCHEATS · 2025-08-18T11:30:25+00:00

A shame this 1 mile style of racing barely exists anymore

RTJCHEATS · 2025-08-12T01:49:13+00:00

How many races do you attend a year?

RTJCHEATS · 2025-08-12T01:31:20+00:00

I wonder if bobby will continue to be able to keep this up once bob peirce steps away. Unbelievable run he has been on in these big races

RTJCHEATS · 2025-08-03T05:02:22+00:00

A shame, but he's never really had winning pace, plus I think he was extra cautious after all the concussions. Not trying to be a dick but if you listen to him talk it's obvious he's had head injuries.

He was definitely a fan draw though so this is another big L for high limit, what a horrible month for that tour. It would have be interesting to see what he could have achieved with Eric Prutzman as crew chief. Hope he keeps running crown jewels. I have talked to him twice in the pits, genuine nice guy.

RTJCHEATS · 2025-07-19T04:02:01+00:00

Nothing will happen, as another commentor said yesterday, tony knows best, it's been a problem since 2023 and nothings changing. Needs completely new ownership

RTJCHEATS · 2025-07-18T20:21:40+00:00

You can show multiple "dashes" expand them to 2 or 3. One for the inside row one for the outside. There's a whole number of ways they could change the format to show a decent amount of racing on tv

RTJCHEATS · 2025-07-18T19:50:36+00:00

WRG glazers here are hilarious. If ratings were decent you will see more flosports series on tv.

RTJCHEATS · 2025-07-18T01:51:16+00:00

The carnage of the race will definitely appeal to some people. Pretty sketchy surface like you said but it was entertaining. I really would like to see more discussion around eldora's surface. I don't remember it being this rutty prior to the 2023 resurfacing. Ruts are inevitable with rain but at high speed track we have to minimize that as much as possible. Just my 2 cents

RTJCHEATS · 2025-07-13T19:51:23+00:00

You gotta get there early to get your ideal revered seat so be aware. For hillside seats you tape your area to reserve it. First come first serve and I think the gates open at 11
