Tanner English and Ashton Winger will be there. BMJ hasn't updated his schedule, he may drop off the tour... Does anybody know if Sheppard will be able to get away from the Rocket shop to race this week in the B5?

Is the Davenport event to be run on the 1/2 mile or the bull ring?

[BirkyTime15B]

1/4 mile. Brandon Sheppard will be there. Just got a message from the man himself. They will also be at Beaver Dam on 7/30.

I doubt there will be any future racing on the 1/2 mile- making it acceptable to insurance standards would be way too expensive. Meanwhile, Ricky Kay and his gang have made the 1/4 mile very racy for evnts they promote.

The slow and inevitable death of yet another 1/2 mile.

Love the 1/2, but it needs soooo much work. When I win powerball I’ll get with Shawn Loter and get that big track back to its glory days.

[Pennsboro32]

I think Moyer jr said on Twitter he planned on running the entire week coming up.

You're going to get your wish.

It won't be long 'till 1/4 and 1/5 miles are all there will be left. Lot more of what everybody wants to see. Beatin', bangin' and fightin'. That's what sells tickets!

Did something happen pertaining to the 1/2 miler since they last raced there? Didn't know their were issues.

[Rich Riedesel]

Nothing has changed on the 1/2 mile and that's the problem- insurance standards have changed, and making the 1/2 mile insurable would cost a huge amount according to the promoter. I have been impressed with the shows on the 1/4; reminds me of why weekly shows played to packed houses in the 60s.

Eldora and Knoxville are doomed
