The clowns at WRG strike again. This time they schedule over the Show-Me. I seen them scheduling a race over the Firecracker solely because they are bitter. Literally a cancer to the dirt world.
The schedule is solid from a purse stand point, it's improved a little at least. For sure knew they'd schedule on top of the Firecracker. They scheduled on Show me weekend, but that doesn't bother me too much considering how far away the two are. IMO they will continue to be the little brother of national series.
How many WoO drivers go to the Show Me? Not many. I'm surprised they haven't done this already.Quote:

I'm pretty sure they schedule for that weekend every year, it was just rained out or scratched for some reason this season...
Nah, shep usually runs the show me in the b5Quote:

I’m glad to see purses rising, along with more good options for drivers and teams.
Scheduling on top of the firecracker ? How dare they ! Everyone knew that was a given. Both series dog each others schedule. Unfortunate, yes but wrg isn't going away any time soon. It's the same with Lucas, I'm hoping that by both series putting in more dollars it entices more teams to jump on a tour.
Good call, I was mistaken... Just looked it up, they scheduled on top of it through the 2017 season and haven't since.Quote:

What set the Show-Me and Topless apart before they became sanctioned was there wasn’t guaranteed starting positions, you had to race your way in. I remember sitting in turns 3 and 4 at West Plains for one Show-Me and right before the feature, Billy Moyer’s rig was pulling out behind me because he failed to make the feature and he wasn’t the only driver that happened to. Times were so much better then.
EDERDS isn’t wrong, the Topless, Show Me, Hillbilly, Jackson aren’t as big now as they once seemed. They’ve became just your normal Lucas race.
