Hmmm. We've been thinking about going to Florida in February in 2018. This might be the incentive we need to pull the trigger on that deal!! Bob, are you game?!

Yes, saw this on SpeedSport this morning. POWRi midgets at Bubba Raceway Park on February 9th and 10th. Hopefully they can book a couple extra dates at East Bay or Volusia to make it worthwhile for the midget guys to haul that far south. We will see you there on the 9th and 10th.

Thrilled that there will now be a midget race to attend the weekend prior to USAC sprints. Kudos to BRP and POWRi for getting this done!

I agree this is great for the series and the fans, but now I will address the elephant in the room:
The WoO Sprints are running at Volusia both of those nights. The Friday & Saturday night events at Volusia draw the most fans, by far, for all of the sprint races during the DirtCar Nationals. If somehow POWRi could have staged their two events the two nights before the USAC Sprints at Bubba's I think they would actually have a larger audience to play for, even though it is mid-week. Or maybe run at least the Saturday POWRi event during the day? That way, you'd get a good crop of Volusia fans to go to Bubba's by day and back to Volusia by night. Not that I am a promoter, but going head-to-head with the WoO who are only 40 miles away on two nights..... good luck with butts in the seats. Nonetheless, I applaud POWRi for attempting this venture. With every half full glass there is a half empty one. |

Yikes. Good point Mike i hadn't checked the schedule, but this is a problem. There's plenty of time to move it to pair up with the USAC sprints. Hopefully it all works out.
