    Super Late Model is just like politics.

    If but it will never happen but think if all Lucas Oil and WOO cars could run for both championships. A Wednesday or Thursday WOO show with a Friday and Saturday Lucas Oil show close by. The next week a Lucas Oil show on Wednesday or Thursday followed by a Friday and Saturday WOO show. Everyone including us the spectators win on this deal. For instance The USA Nationals in Cedar Lake or The Silver Dollar Nationals on a Thursday, Friday, Saturday. The previous Friday, Saturday or Saturday, Sunday at Lucas Oil Speedway or Jackson Motorplex? Anything close to each other and not scheduling on top of each other. It will not ever happen but boy it would be fun.

    No provisionals, race to get in. Top 20 in points get $500 minimum. $12,000 to win, $1000 to start every show. You would have the Overtons of the worlds, Marlar, at all these events. I don’t think anyone would bat a eye if it was $40 to get in and all your top drivers were at the track?

            Would the fans have money in that area to go that many nights in a row? Plus if it was 6 hours away from me not sure I would go then I would be stuck with nothing to watch that weekend. That's why it's good for both series esp when it's in different areas.

              Lucas and WOO cooperating? When pigs fly.
              I hate time trials.

                  It was way closer to happening than anybody realizes a few years ago. They couldn’t work out provisionals, then the one track that would have been part of it was sold, and the divide grew larger again.

                    You'd have 1 sanctioning body and there fee's to track promotors would jump 5k. Then someone else would jump in and start a new series. Think back, how many are no longer around, NDRA was suppose to be the greatest thing that ever happened to dirt racing. How long did that one last ? Hav-A-Tampa and on and on.

                      Dirtcrazy speaks the truth. What would happen if Lucas dropped their sponsorship like they did on the off-road series? Either a new sponsor sign on or would somebody new would start a new LM series. As long as the fans keep coming and a track can make a profit there will be multiple series.

                        One of them or both will fold eventaully and something new will take its place. The only constant is change.

                          They stay off each other for the most part when they have big shows. Lucas moved dates to accommodate the WoO Bristol show.

                          April 30th will be the first conflicting date.... what more do people want.

                            The way it is now is fine. It gives more drivers a chance to earn some decent money.

                              The current landscape works. There are 10-15 regulars following both series. Running a single 20-25 driver series wouldn't work IMO. It would work fine in areas that don't have alot of SLM's to fill the fields, but what about areas that do? You could potentially have the lower tier regulars not making the show, that happens enough and they drop off the single tour. In the end you could be left with 1 series that has 15 regulars. #backfire
