  1. Forum protocol question - When we see something like this which has yet to be posted, should we post in the Announcements, Track Schedules, or Texas Auto Racing section? Or message Nick, Reb, or someone else ? I really like the structure that comes with the addition of the Track Schedules forum, and don't want to disrupt that by working against how things might be envisioned.
  2. Yes, I saw the rumors and suspected things were shaky. Not being able to carry off a booking says a lot between the lines.
  3. I haven't seen this posted elsewhere on this site, so I want to alert anyone planning on this weekend's ASCS show in Corpus. ASCS has cancelled. See the track's web site, FB page, or Revved Up Sports to confirm. My sympathies to Owen.
  4. Allstar offers "unwelded, cut-to-fit" arms. Perhaps they have something that would save some of the fabbing.
  5. I'll chime in with thanks, too. I'm finding this extremely helpful.
  6. At Cotton Bowl. Be There!!!! Announced as part of their '24 schedule on Facebook
  7. Good to hear. Thanks for thinking of us on SpeedZone!
  8. Great to hear! He deserves it - he's disciplined, works hard and is talented.
  9. I'm a long-time FB user and have nothing against the platform. But it's an absolutely horrible outlet if you want to do a quick skim of multiple tracks to get a feel for what is going on. Track management likes it because it's a one-stop place to put information for all their audiences (racers, track workers, sponsors, fans). They don't have to segment their communications. That works for someone who is mostly dedicated to one track and hangs on the edge of their seat for every scrap of information from that track. But if you are a fan who has disconnected from, or never wanted to be connected to all the minutia, and wants to skim the tracks within driving range for high level info, it's highly inefficient. A friend asked me the source of the news about Cotton Bowl. It took me a long time to find it. People might say "Well, if you were a real fan......blah, blah". You know what? There are hundreds of messages competing for my eyeballs. There are maybe six tracks I would like to monitor. But if they want my eyeballs, the info has to be easy to find. It is hard enough to screen out the crap I don't want from people looking for me without taking additional time to look for what should be looking for me but isn't. Let me turn this around - What about "Well, if you were a promoter.....". The word promoter used to have a meaning that related to promotion. The only promoters I can recall off the top of my head have been Mandelbach and Gina. Now it is a glorified term for Track Operator. The attitude seems to be that people will beat a path to their track (when they haven't before) just because they are now the operator. How hard would it be to also paste some of the big picture items from the FB page onto Speedzone at the same time it's put on FB? Here, the format makes it very easy to focus on what you care about vs. what you do not.
  10. I've about taken the stance - If they don't care if I know, I don't care if I go. Call me jaded, I don't care. It is what it is.
  11. Am I correct in assuming the intent of the claim is to get parts which violate the spirit of the rules (i.e. high dollar ones) to filter down to lesser-funded racers? Would it be correct to assume that NO racer, even lesser funded ones, would EVER run a part which blatantly violates the rules? They are just paying to get illegal parts off the track for the benefit of the class? Because the track would then be implicitly forced to let the illegal parts continue to run, since they were the backers of the process.
