Why doesn't LOLMDS or WoO run a regular at The Dirt Track at Charlotte?

    The Rt 66 dirt track is totally packed and completely sold out for their demolition derbies. I haven't been too impressed by their attempts at actual racing.

      I actually have media access in Charlotte since I'm a writer for a motorsports website. I did hear a couple of rumblings about a big DLM race next year. There were two big rumors flying around:

      1. There will be a "World Beginnings" next year that features all 3 divisions after Speedweeks in Florida.

      2. The Colossal 100 will return but no name has been decided on. And it would be a 3 day show with races all three days. No one actually discussed purse that I heard myself but if there were 3 nights of good money available I think there would be a lot of Late Models show up. The first year of the Colossal in 2006 there were 119 cars in the pits.

        I don't think a "World Beginnings" would be a good marketing move... because the World begins in Florida in Feb; and to run the same event (essentially) twice in one year is iffy.

        But I guess I'm glad Earl did it when he started the Dream.

          The Sprints head to the west coast for a month or two after florida stopping in vegas on nascar weekend which is march 2-3 this year so i doubt theyll be a part of a world beginnings event

                Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. I think I was pretty clear.

                    Even street stocks have touring series so that isn't relevant.

                      Ok well you only like 1 of the 3 classes then, therefore the other 2 are support classes in your mind.

                            Nobody said anything about a national tour, he just said there's 3 touring series there. There are lots of touring series for many different divisions.

                              Why does it have to be run under Lucas or WOO? Its better with no sanctioning body! That way you earn your way in! Forget provisionals. especially in dirt racing!

                                Never heard of anyone saying too many "support" classes at the World Finals but to each his own. I'm a fan of it as it's really the only chance I get to see WoO sprints and the BB mods close to home here in the south. Kind of a slap in the face to those guys to call them "support" classes but again, to each his own.
