First thing I looked for was the late April Hagerstown, Roaring Knob weekend. No Roaring Knob which doesn't surprise me.

Sure would be nice to know what the conflict is with lakeside speedway, couldn't come to an agreement last year no date this year..... great going lakeside i guess the tour just has better tracks to hit around the area.

First thing that jumped out to me (admittedly because of its proximity to me), besides the new additions, was no Volunteer Speedway. Interested to see what they do that Bristol weekend. Could still do a big show that Thursday night like usual I guess.

Also cool to see a few races bumped up to 60 laps/$12K to win.

Boyd's and EAMs is a very nice addition.

Bummer that the early season venture to Texas (or nearby) is done. I'm not shocked, just bummed.

Surprised me to see it on there. Heard that I-77 wasn't looking good for next year, but I've heard that about Tyler too. Who knows

The April weekend was the first thing I looked at as well, I told my buddy at this years Roaring Knob lucus race it would be the last one. The ticket prices kept getting higher & the crowd & car count kept getting smaller each year. I am surprised though that they didn't add another date to go with Hagerstown, but they did make it $12,000 to win.

Glad to see Macon date finally moved from Thursday to Saturday. Might make it tougher to find a seat though.

They'll need to put in more seats somewhere.

Another track that isn't a good fit for a LOLMDS race is 201 Speedway. Seating & parking are not sufficient.

by the sound of it last year, the track is not fit for it either.

Hate to see Paducah get cut. It was a decent race this year.

Yea, would be nice to have a 2nd race nearby. Nice if it was Winchester, but they have a WOO date and their pi$$ing contest doesn't appear to be ending. Believe mother nature has won the last 2 years for Lucas races at Hagerstown. Any word about the Knob from your sources? Can't see Jones promoting next year with the downward spiral of that place.

I was hoping there would be a second date in April near Hagerstown as well, since that is the closet track hosting a LOLMS race near my neck of the woods. Would have been nice to make a racing weekend.

The Hillbilly 100 will never go back to Ohio after the rain out at Portsmouth.

No ArkLaTex speedway or Jackson Motor speedway next year :-@ hope WoO picks them up.

A race called the hillbilly doesn't deserve to he held in Ohio anyway IMO, apparently mother nature didn't agree with it either that year. West Virginia is the home for it.

Sure was a lot of talk this summer from Wisconsin people about Oshkosh being a $20,000 to win show in 2016. Anybody know what happened with that?

also very interesting how the Pittsburgher was moved from late Aug. to early October. Huge difference in weather for that area of the country. Also after most tracks in the area are finished for the season

Fall Fest at the now closed Challenger Raceway always used to race on that October weekend and I only recall one weekend that they couldn't get the show in. The weather is generally still decent up this way in October. Running when the other tracks are closed should increase car and fan support.

southern ohio is pretty hillbilly once you get to Chillicothe it's corn fields. Regardless atomic deserves another race and it doesn't make sense not to have them on the swing

The year the NDRL ran the Pittsburgher, it was in October on that weekend. One of the better car counts in all divisions at PPMS in years.

even though it is a lucas race, they should draw some if not a lot of the outlaws since they are usually off until the world finals...sounds like a great move all the way around as of now...definitely want to pencil that one in for next year's to do list.

I'm just glad to hear that they are getting this race again for 2016 i will be back for sure as far as $20k to win I never heard of that all year but it would be pretty cool if they did
