After a week of pavement racing (and running the show) it was nice to sit back in the stands and just take one in. Once you've taken part in a program and an effort to put on a show and race for the fans you never look at a night's racing the same. I have a profound sense of understanding now about how tough it is to run a smooth show that I never had before.

I realize that NASCAR owns the network, but I also so disappointed that in a month that features dozens of feature events at tracks across the state, all I get on the news show is a couple of checkered flags.Speed needs a short track only news show so bad it hurts.ARCA needs to realize it doesn't need to go to Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06767215696974273382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5159870.post-1104294871667563752004-12-28T23:22:00.000-05:002004-12-28T23:34:31.666-05:00The outing at David Harrison's Race Place was another success. The Last Lap guys from 99.1 did their usual excellent job on the microphones and the bench racing was as good as the racing on the kart track.

I haven't though about it much this week, as it is the "back to school week" for the students.
Now that Thursday is here, I'm starting to lose focus abit as my ears can feel the ringing off the steel grandstand. I can smell the hoffman dogs and see the smokestacks as I drive up 104.

I got a couple of sad notes recently. First Bob Gangwer sent a note saying Ollie Silva died. Ollie was a great super driver, but really before my time. I barely remember him coming to the Ohio State 500 races in the early 1970s.
I was really shocked Friday riding out to pick up the new issues of Super Scene from the printer when a "NASCAR Update" came on the radio Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06767215696974273382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5159870.post-1092628691112596732004-08-15T23:58:00.000-04:002004-08-15T23:58:11.113-04:00Northcoast Notebook
Every now and then you go to the races and your spirit for the sport is renewed. Watching a great weekend of supermodified racing at Mansfield did just that. Just as Fremont did a couple of weeks back, I am reminded of why I love the sport.
I have to get on MAARN Photog Todd Ridgeway.

First, the crowd was down. A few of us press types were trying to identify the causes. 1. There are numerous county fairs going on right now, not to mention the one in Mansfield that was featuring country legend George Jones. 2. There was a USAC race scheduled for Lake Erie.

Great racing at Fremont last night. Its good to just plop down in the stands and watch and not have to organize or work at the track...
Racin' Buddy took some pics, we'll see how they turn out today.
With Chaney and Blaney dueling up front, did anybody notice the passing display put on by Byron Reed. He was flying around the outside. B.

Quick Sixteen from the past few weeks...
1. Auto City is a great place, albeit a bit weird shaped. After four guys went off the end of turn one in hot laps I thought the night would be a disaster, but professionalism won out and by feature time everybody was smooth as silk.
2. Auto City had two of the coolest stock cars I've seen in years, one guy had a '56 Chevy and Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06767215696974273382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5159870.post-1088390718227741962004-06-27T22:42:00.000-04:002004-06-27T22:45:18.226-04:00Looking out on the Atlantic Ocean, I could almost...almost give up racing for a life on the beach. Maybe if the waves were bigger I could be a surf bum...
From Ohio to South Carolina I saw quite a few trailers with WKA karting stickers, tons of dirt bikes, but not too many race cars.
We did pass I-20 Speedway in South Carolina on our way here.

Everyone in the family seems to be back to complete health. The trees knocked over by last week's storm (which one, there were too many, heck its storming now...) are finally cut up.
Maybe I can get back to racing. I still have an interview with Tracy Hines on the books from the Mansfield event. I've gotta get that one typed up...

I got my money's worth when I heard the motors fire for the first time. Winter just seemed so long this year.
Ten Items of Notice at the opener...
1. The 410 field is as tough as ever. Five cars under a blanket for the win with five laps to go, you can't beat that.

I've learned more about how the internet works in the past week then I ever knew before. I never realized what a chore it is moving a website from one provider to another.

Dad and I took in a great show in Fort Wayne over winter, I picked up some old super photos and a Little 500 shot of Darl Harrison and Rollie Beale racing side by side :)

I was confused with a few things, working on cars during a red? I thought that was a major no-no in NASCAR...maybe it was an open red like at my regular dirt sprint haunts.

I'm wondering what will it take for him to even get a nod from his peers?
Fremont went from a closed up memory to one of the most successful weekly tracks in the country.

First of all Racin' Buddy got the flu Monday and was down for a couple of days. Then I discovered that I forgot to renew my northcoast notebook domain registration shutting down the website for a couple of days.

There is so much to cover from two days of eating fumes at the Ft. Wayne Rumble event, I don't know where to begin. Hopefully tonight or tomorrow I'll have a full column up with a feature story on John Ivy "indoor racer," plus tons of tidbits from the Rumble event.

I was supposed to drive buddy Paul Thrash's kart indoors in Columbus this weekend but he got called to work overtime, and I didn't have a way to get the car to the track on my own.
I can't blame Paul for taking the overtime, I couldn't possibly make more money for him with the kart than he could at the shop.

I knew I wanted to do something different this year to make the voting easier and more fair. Over the past two years, the voting tended to run more like a junior-high student council election with everyone voting for their friends. An open-write-in ballot made for very scattered results at best...

Why isn't he running at Indy or Daytona? The guy seems plain ole' good at what he does. I'd love to see him at the Oswego Classic someday. My guess is it would take him about 5 laps to figure it out and be fast as heck...

It was a good choice. Racing at 8pm done by 10:10pm and good racing inbetween. Racin' Buddy had just as good a time as he would have if we made the long trip.

Fifty one cars took time, and 32 305 sprints showed up for great racing.

First I finally finished my project for BGSU on Sandusky Speedway's supermodified racing over the past 50 years. I got a handshake from the profs and that's good enough for me. After I let it rest for a while (I have other exciting topics to research right now including the PA State Navy in the Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06767215696974273382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5159870.post-915444892003-03-28T08:36:00.000-05:002003-03-28T08:38:16.000-05:00Imagine my surprise when I opened my copy of National Speed Sport News yesterday and in the "Elbow's Up!" section Ron Lemasters did a story on John Logan. Three years ago my dad purchased a vintage Grant King sprint car from supermodified racer Rusty Ryan. the car was formerly owned by Michigan's Harold Thomas and driven by John Logan.

I wonder if anyone has done a statistical analysis on Bristol of cautions in relation to the number of starters. Have the amount of cautions increased since the fields expanded to 43? Is Bristol a good example of what short track racing is supposed to be about?

A few years ago I was in a fantasy football league with some friends. I went out, bought those special edition books that taught you to make all the right picks, and I promptly got my butt kicked. I think it was the fact after week three I quit updating my roster. I started a hurt quarterback for four weeks before our league commissioner Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06767215696974273382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5159870.post-912414542003-03-23T17:04:00.000-05:002003-03-23T17:04:32.153-05:00A grammar lesson for Larry Mc: I don't, You don't, He She or It doesn't...

Hopefully I'll have a letter to send off to our state leadership (Democrat and Republican) in next couple of days.
Dad went to MSA owner Pearl Lilje's funeral showing the other night and he said the people were line up around the city block.

Despite the growing international situation, we as race fans must still be mindful of events in our own state. Pressure works, write or phone, tell them who you are and why you oppose the tax.

Raccoon Postpones Raceway Opening
Flat Rock, Mich., Aug 3 (UP)--The Grand opening of the $350,000 Flat Rock speedway has been postponed from Aug. 7 to Aug. 14 because of a dead raccoon.
The raccoon went for a swim and drowned in th elaborate drainage system of the raceway. It was carried into the main drain and Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06767215696974273382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5159870.post-908513162003-03-17T08:03:00.000-05:002003-03-17T08:04:52.000-05:00I was standing in a Target store near Perrysburg (OH) when it hit me. In my column this week listing WC drivers that would love to be at Eldora's Million, I left off Dave Blaney. I remembered it then because Racin' Buddy and I were watching the last 10 laps of the Darlington race rooting for Blaney (rather loudly, commented the girl working there).

He thought the IRA swing through Ohio will offer huge car counts and interesting racing. I agree one hundred percent. Although with Fremont's normally high 410 car counts and the rapidly multiplying truck counts, I wonder where they will pit all these cars.Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06767215696974273382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5159870.post-907600792003-03-15T08:04:00.000-05:002003-03-15T08:04:16.123-05:00I woke this this morning to do the BG Mall show pictures and found an email from friend Paul Thrash about Pearl Lilje's passing. I didn't know Pearl all too well, but What few times we talked he seemed like a great guy. Rest in peace Pearl.

It looks like a great group founded by open wheelers in the Indy area to raise money for Make a Wish type groups. The brochure had a form. I think I'll fill it out. Racin' Buddy likes mail, especially when it has cars on it.
Afterward, I surfed around for other charity Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06767215696974273382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5159870.post-906510422003-03-13T11:03:00.000-05:002003-03-13T11:03:24.810-05:00An interesting story on indyracing.com about the Infinity Series running a 40 lapper in May will probably draw more ink from the Indy purists who are still mad that yet another race is being held at the track that was once sacred ground...
So there's another race at Indy. What does that make now, four?
