They increased the pay throughout the field and added $500 fast time award.

Drop Shock, I somewhat agree. But then I look at the Pennsylvania racing scene and see that the late model counts there are thriving. PA has a ton of big, fast, momentum, type race tracks. (Port Royal, PPMS, Williams Grove, Selinsgrove, etc.) It looks to me like the regional guys up there support the heck out of those types of tracks, why can't that happen at WVMS? You can argue that WVMS is a tad faster than any of those I named and I'd agree.

Only Port Royal is really thriving as a super late track out of the tracks you named.

The big difference between central PA SLM racers running big half miles and WV locals running WVMS is that the central PA guys have the equipment that can handle it. The WV locals do not. They’re used to running little bullrings.

Most of that is true Bayko, but usually the regional shows up there thrive as far as car count don’t they? ULMS at Grove had good numbers I believe. Port is Port, excellent place. I know PPMS has their struggles but it seems like when they ran supers they had decent counts.

[Josh Bayko]

The Grove’s super races are almost always part of a swing, that helps the car counts. When they’ve done standalone shows, they tend not to do all that well.

The last couple years PPMS actually ran supers they had ten cars or less most nights. It’s why the only super race left on the calendar is the Pittsburgher.

(PA guys have the equipment that can handle it. The WV locals do not. ) What do they make different for them ? Supension, Engine, Frame ??I didnt know they made them for Northern or Southern.

Mostly the engines. Big tracks generally require monster horsepower. MOV tracks do not.

WVMS is bigger and more banked than any of the central PA tracks. There’s that too.

I don’t think it helped that they were paying what, $1k to win on that big a$$ track. They are notorious for paying very little, but charging $$$.

In our area, you can pay 15 bucks to go see 410s, Super Lates, Big Blocks and Open Stocks, or you can pay 15 bucks and see maybe fifteen crates, twenty or so stocks between two classes and a dozen four cylinders between two classes. Take a guess which is which, lol.

Oh I know which two you are referring to lol. Did Lernerville up their purses, I know they were not getting decent counts for a bit and it stemmed from drivers “boycotting “ Lernerville till the pay increased.

Lernerville and western pa is a shadow of what it was at oNE time. You have 1 western pa guy that ventures out, Colton flinner. You have 3 or 4 cars that may be capable but it's a stretch and if they do its a ulms show. Most won't go to port royal on a Saturday and there paying a excellent purse.

You’re correct. Shame too, Lernerville is excellent. But purses gotta step up, Sharon is starting to pay better. Surely Lernerville can, they have a great reputation. But to regain some of it, really need to up pay. Such a great place though.
