    Diesel's knocking on $4 on the left coast and premium gas, and some regular, is over $4. We use an 8.1 big block Chevy that gets around 7 or 8 mpg on an easy ride and choke on our fuel bills when we venture more than a couple of hours up or down the road.

      It would also be better if they had multiple races in the approximate area over a few days or a week. Obviously.

        In Canada, diesel is $1.20 a litre which converts to about $4.60 a gallon, the vast majority of which is taxes.

          Not surprised at Jackson, kinda expected it. As far as the press releases in advance of the season I’d say WOO is primarily responsible for the fluff.
          I hate time trials.

            The national touring life seems sexy to lots of racers until they actually do it. It really isn’t for the feint of heart.

              Breazeale blew up his only motor at Cherokee last weekend and D!ckens couldn’t get him one ready by this weekend. Don’t know how that’ll effect the rest of his season as far as running WoO

                Breazeale was never running the woo this year. And as far as the big announcements they don't get all the product handouts over the winter without declaring officially their gonna run.

                    JKing, the plan was to run WoO as much as possible but the blown motor has done kinked up the plans for now

                      Tyler Bruening si running WoO now. Eshelman said it so take it with a grain of salt.

                        So Clanton, Bruening and Strickler all switched from Lucas to WoO now?

                          Clanton was most likely going back to WoO before the season started and before he was in the hospital

                            Whoever is responsible for the press releases, it's pretentious, annoying, and unprofessional. Nothing I've read here has changed my mind.

                              The thing is with being on a Tour if your in the top 12 in points you get soo much tow money and such. Plus the money at the end of the year. But I think if you really want to see a big thing happen maybe have a big sponsor decide to run a true Tour. Say have the following races in it. Dirt Late Model Dream, Firecracker 100, North South 100, World 100, Knoxville, and Dirt Track World Championship and Settle it at the Charlotte races in November. 7 races and all pay a decent purse and pay the top 20 in points and payout can be 60,000 to win and break it down to where 20th pays 2,000. Plus WOO and Lucas can co sanction the races if they want and give points out as well. It would be neat to see who is the best of the best.

                                Wasn't that the idea with the "Big Johnson" deal they had way back when? I forget, but if I recall it was only certain crown jewel events.
