The work being done by WRG, High Limit and Lucas right now must be why we haven’t seen schedules yet.

The Lucas Oil Late Model series will someday be the High Limit Late Model series. I've seen some stuff plausible stuff on twitter that makes it a real possibility some day.
Absolutely love this. Smart move.
I hope not. I just don’t like the drivers in sprint cars like I once did. I’d prefer to see Late model only shows. And yes I’m biased towards late models now a days. 😁
Would love to see multiple two-class shows with super late models and top-notch sprint cars. Those are awesome shows.
I could only imagine the admission price to get in
There was one this past year at Atomic (Ohio). Hope it happens again in 2024. Used to be a regular thing at the track with STARS and ASCoC running the "Night the Stars Come Out". Admission wasn't anything out of the ordinary.Quote:

High Limit will do well as a competitor to WoO in the sprint car realm. WoO restricted their full-time racers from running non-WoO races, and that set a bad tone. With that said, I am not liking the idea that Larson/Sweet bought the All-Star series, then shut it down for 2024 less than a week after the purchase. I am sure it was part of the plan, but sounds bad on the surface. A lot of those guys can't run a nationwide tour, and that is why they chose the All-Stars in the first place.
As for Lucas Oil, I think it would be in their best interest to get onboard with High Limit.
What race track and fan could afford that? $60 admission and $75 pit passes. Unless Flo intends to subsidize it.
😁my preference is special with Lates as the show card and max of two classes to support.Quote:

Id prefer sprint shows w out late models, late models dont do anything for me, that said I do enjoy a weekly racer like rtj whooping on them.
I'm guessing the # of tracks that are prepped well enough to host a show featuring 30 plus top shelf sprints & similar # of late models on the same night are pretty few. If they keep this as a limited concept (handful of times per year) at good venues it would work great. At the wrong venue, the features would just be rubbered up garbage.
I would guess 50$. Uncle Forrest or Morgan can't get rid of the Lolmds!!Quote:

There couldn't be enough track prep to handle sprints and late models, plus supports.
The tracks would be blacker than coal. :)
high limits had no supports this year, do they have supports at big late model races?Quote:

The 2 of these guys put on epic battles. High Limit needs to find this in my opinion, because if kid Kyle keeps winning all the time the fans will turn.
Dirt Crazy nailed it 👍Quote:

dirtcrazy4u,
Personally, I find winged sprint series racing such as; WoO Sprints, All-Stars, FAST, and others --- much more entertaining nowadays, than Sammy and Steve yesteryear. Epic battles continue although the names have changed.
Sweet and Larson are local guys to me and, as many of you know, took over our beloved Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico, CA last year. When we asked what was going to happen to the stock car classes there we were told "We're going to take care of them." They sure did by promptly dropping our Super Stock class.
Now a day after purchasing the Allstars from Stewart they immediately dissolved it merging it into their High Limit series and planning a nationwide expansion of that series. Bye, bye to what was a very good regional Sprint car series and welcome to what almost surely will be a war with the World of Outlaws Sprints. It sure ain't what Bert Emick had in mind for his beloved Allstars.
over4T,
I’m betting when its all said and done for 2024 regional (Ohio and the surrounding area) winged racing ---- that Aaron Fry’s FAST series will pick up right where the dissolved All-Stars left off, having those traditional race dates. The upcoming weeks leading up to PRI will tell us all what’s going on in 2024. Then for 2025 FAST will be what the All-Stars always have been, with guidance from Kyle and Brad.
Again, that’s my bet.
As for 2024.Quote:

Now then, 2025 sanctioning fees will play a major roll in all of this, as will Flo Vs. DirtVision. I think this part is a much bigger deal than what teams or drivers follow what series.
Remember, Kyle and Brad bought the All-Stars then virtually dissolved it days later.
Ask your self why?
You're right, actually no. But combined they may be added to the formats. Local tracks all want them included usually.Quote:

The key to your statement is STOCK CAR CLASSES... plural. No need for two classes virtually the same from the stands... There are only so many racers to go around if there are only 3 classes there will be say 75, if there are 4 the same 75 are divided into 4 etc. The math has always mathed that way.Quote:
