I guess New Mexico is too far out of the way to start the year off....Makes sense.

Nothing like scheduling right over the Wild West Shootout in Az. Wow, what a screw job by WoO!!!!

[Shiny Side Up 18]

Looks like the Illini is now a 3 day show.

Yeah that really stinks. I think the Wild West Shootout is going to be hurting for some of the stars this years as obviously no WoO guys will be there. There is no additional nights at Vado to draw guys out there and Lucas starts at Golden Isles 4 days after the Wild West Shootout ends.

I can't see many of the national guys, if any, wanting to go out there for 5k to win shows right before Georgia/Florida Speedweeks kicks off even earlier this year. I know Sheppard, Weiss, Junghans, and Dillard all went last year and won't be going if they run WoO again.

That would suck the life right out of racing for me. Going to suck the life right out of the car count also.

[Mike Honcho]

Interesting that the 2 trips to Volusia are 4 weeks apart. Exactly the dirtvision billing cycle. I'm guessing no Winter Xtreme series this year?

[kipling]

If you are a driver that will be racing WOO next year, you better have a car that runs well at Volusia to start the year or you will be buried in the points. First 7 races are at Volusia. That seems very strange.

And be ready to freshen a motor!

[NeedforLMspeed]

I wonder if they are only counting a certain amount of nights. Didn't they only count two this year

[Rajflyboy]

Now I gotta drive to Florida then back to GA THEN FL again and then back north

[bystander]

Now I gotta drive to Florida then back to GA THEN FL again and then back north Have to? No Choose to? Yes

[klemmabyna]

Now I gotta drive to Florida then back to GA THEN FL again and then back north

that's going to be a long trip on your bicycle.

[BloomerWon]

That sucks!

[ZERO25]

Thats gonna be one looooonnnnnnggggg.......1.5 hour drive for me! :)

[TOPSIDE TIMMY 39FAN]

BloomerWon will ride w him if he can sit in basket then it wont feel like a long ride

[WisWildManFan]

Wow what a low blow to the Arizona deal!

[NeedforLMspeed]

Casey Shuman on Twitter trying to defend it. What a goof.

[WisWildManFan]

IMO it’s just a f*ck job to Arizona. Just wrong from where I sit.

[Barbecueboy]

And Wrg wonders why?

Nah, they probably could care less.

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

Woo torpedoed the Wild West Shootout.

[ZERO25]

While Im glad Ill get another chance to watch the supers, i don think it will last but one year. I dont think they will get enough fans to foot the bills!

This was the weekend that had the crate races this year. Will the crates still be involved or Supers only?

[NeedforLMspeed]

Who they going to have? Pierce, Don Shaw, Mars, Terry Phillips and Chris Simpson?

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

McGrath, Sorenson, maybe Birky?

Spatola went this year and did well. Maybe more illinois guys go?

[mskdorf]

It’s opposite ends of the whole country. You should be happy you have choices. Some of you would gripe if you were handed money and it wasn’t in the denominations you preferred. Do we pay attention to Arizona any other time of the year? Not too many threads about the hotbed of racing down there. Geez!

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

Mr Bedford IN, (where lm get neutered to be crates)

I attend the Wild West Shootout. Thank you very much.

I'm not sure what Arizona in April has to do with this event? It's had its place for years and it's getting stepped on. The outlaws went from piggy backing on it to spitting on it.

[fryefan]

Any chance that the race out west tries to get Lucas Oil to sanction their race?

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

That's a hard sell with only 4 days between events.

[Highside Hustler25]

McGrath, Sorenson, maybe Birky?

I wouldn't expect any Illinois guys to support this event unless they see it as a vacation and take the family to enjoy the down time. It takes more than a day to get there from central Illinois. If they were up for that kind of travel, they would be going to Florida and unfortunately, very few do that anymore.
I don't really see the big deal. Yeah, a few WoO guys have gone in the past but their are a lot of National event competitors that don't run a tour that don't bother to support the Arizona race. Don't see why a dozen touring WoO racers would make that much difference.

[Josh Bayko]

It was only a matter of time until the WWSO’s insistence on staying unsanctioned would bite them. Just happened to be the WoO that scheduled over them first. Once East Bay is no longer an option and they have to restructure their speedweeks Lucas probably will too.

[ZERO25]

This was the weekend that had the crate races this year. Will the crates still be involved or Supers only?

Yep, they had a good field of cars!

Im sure they will keep the crates to help offset the cost of the Woo shows!

[Rajflyboy]

that's going to be a long trip on your bicycle.Wrong. We roll on Big Wheels.

[mccreadiefan39]

It will be interesting to see where Tim McCreadie races that week. Will he go to the Chili Bowl which we know he loves or will he go to Volusia, a place he is very good at and a possible $30,000 not to mention 3 nights to test before the Lucas season kicks off the next week.

[deadringer]

The WOO is screwing themselves little by little. Take the blue 1 car and the team zero cars out of it and they have a group of regional racers at best!! Dillard and Erb are good but not national contenders.

[NeedforLMspeed]

I'm not sure Bloomquist is a national contender. Who knows what his plan is for 2021.

[dirt33]

Re: post 34, Bayko was the WoO wanting to also sanction the Wild West Shootout last year, in addition to Vado?

[Josh Bayko]

Re: post 34, Bayko was the WoO wanting to also sanction the Wild West Shootout last year, in addition to Vado?

I’m sure the thought crossed their mind. They were gonna be down the road at Vado just a few days later.

[BirkyTime15B]

This is just so terrible. I’ve been supporting it every year. Ugh. So lame. Who knows, maybe they’ll get some other guys to come down. EPJ is usually here, Bloomquist and Moyer have been here. If the WoO guys aren’t coming that makes things more interesting.
