...Racers don't have the "right to race anywhere they want to."

Actually the constitution says, they do according to the "equal protection" clause. Is this FB or Twitter, am I only allowed to comment if I agree with you? No, it isn't. I gave my POV and even some possible solutions to allow equal opportunity, not equal outcome. Elitism needs to go. And you are correct, I can and will exercise my right to boycott by not watching or attending. Good day.

My feeling is its because of safety.. I don't think they want any joe blow driver showing up there with hardly any experience being 30 mph slower and causing issues.. And you know its gonna attract a few of them because its Bristol.. The speed is gonna be scary fast as it is, let alone having to deal with a car being way off the pace and possibly causing issues...

You hit the nail squarely on the head.

Two completely different promotional teams the 50k race is put on by a promotional group that is fairly new to the latemodel side of things so their trying to make some noise and drum up interest. The woo race is being put on by wrg and they don't need to generate any interest they are probably more concerned with putting in a well run efficient show that will be good for the fans. Unfortunately these types of shows generate interest from cars that truthfully have no right being on the same track as superlate models just to say they were their. Some people enjoy just going to the track and riding around making laps super late is not the place for that that's what beginner and crate classes are for

Agreed. Also, Mike Van Gendren (who is putting on the other shows) runs a very tight program and can run off a lot of races in an efficient manner.

Sounds like TN needs to have Desantis re-write their guidelines! ....geez!

No one is forcing anyone to go to this event. If people don't like the protocols that have been set forth, then they are free to not go. It is as simple as that.

I'm going to the WOO late model event. Could care less about wearing mask for entry, just glad I don't have to after getting to my seat.

What's the point of invite only if Blake Spencer got one. Although I believe he's running the tour full time so not sure why the "announcement".

It's more about Bristol Motor Speedway's guidelines than Tennessee's. We've been wide open (race tracks) since late May. Had record setting crowds at Tazewell in late May and another at Smoky Mountain for the Lucas race in mid June. Bristol is just enacting the same protocols they have in place for NASCAR races.

Kyle Larson coming

Kyle Larson is going to the Bristol Dirt Nationals. Doesn’t know yet if he’s going to the invite only WoO races

[dirtcrazy4u]

Whats the word on how many invites will be sent out ?

[slideiton]

Rumblings on the Sprint Car side are about 50 invites, but then again Woo Sprint format is different than Woo LM format.

Larson won’t be at WoO late model event... well maybe he could race Friday night I guess. Running martinsville Saturday night in cup series.

What’s the difference?

[slideiton]

One of the big differences is the Sprints don't have a 6 heat format for car counts over 49.
