    Tracks that schedule against each

    why do tracks schedule races against each other? Tell me if I'm wrong does florence have 5K to win lates and mod race that run every year the weekend of 28th called the fall 50 and then atomic schedule a 4k to win BOB race? what the heck? why not schedule it night before or something????
    after hot laps I'll pick the winner

    Fall 50 is a 2 day show. There are plenty of cars to go around. The 2 tracks are 3 hrs+ apart. If Atomic took off every time a track within 3 hours of them had a special, they would never run.

      Hair over two hours, just saying.

      Yes I get your point though. They don't usually draw from the same field of cars anyhow.
      Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

        No different than Florence running this weekend when Eldora has the UMP Nationals. Also Skyline running as well. I remember back in the 1990's when Eldora ran the World 100 or UMP Nationals all tracks were off. Also a lot of guys showed up. Normally 170 mods and 75 lates.

            A lot of tracks still don't run at least lm during the world but some do, not everyone goes because it has become a race of big dollar guys.

              In GA/AL we have issues, but some tracks do work together. Recently, Dixie and Senoia were off on the EAMS state weekend. There are only so many weekends, so it happens! Of course almost all usually race on Saturdays. Penton, AL is the only Friday track and they are done for the year. With the hurricane coming, we'll hope to watch the Lucas ppv this week and get ready for Talladega next week.

                If I'm not mistaking Brownstown also has a $7,500 to win MARS race that day as well. This is per the MARS East Series schedule on the MARS website; but it's not listed on the Brownstown Speedway website schedule.

                  I mean if PRP and Atomic where playing war with dates, I could understand. But tracks that are a couple hours apart got to have some freedom to run regional level events as they see fit. If there are not enough cars and fans to go around, it will quit happening. No one wants to lose money.

                      It's still on the DoD master schedule. Usually they update it if something cancels pretty quick

                        Brownstown and the MARS websites need to clarify the race on Oct. 28th. The Brownstown schedule no longer shows that race but why are they not showing it as canceled so there is no confusion.

                        Why is MARS not updating their schedule.

                        Maybe they are both undecided still at this point?
