Tracks you would like to see host a national Tour Race?

[wreck]

+1 to West Plains.
Springfield MO is another one.
Thunderbird Speedway at Muskogee OK would be really cool. Hav-A-Tampa used to run there back in the day. If they have a good track like they did for the Ross Memorial this summer, it'll be a good show!
67 Speedway in Texarkana
If the facilities were bigger, Crowley's Ridge Raceway would be a banger. Them boys wouldn't know what to think when they pull in there and see the track!
RPM Speedway in Crandall, TX
Rocket Raceway in Petty, TX
Monett, MO
Greenville, MS - side note, USMTS mods ran 1 race there a few years ago, and an upcoming driver named Ricky Thornton Jr put a half lap on the field bouncing off the wall.
North Central Arkansas Speedway would be neat if it weren't way out in BFE.

post #13: Spot on- you are 100% correct.
Lucas dumped the TAZ.
Not sure who dumped who on the WOO tour?

I would rather see weekly late model racing come back! Woo and Lucas (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)ed everything up.

I absolutely agree.

Sycamore! While I'm sure they are satisfied with MARS and the HelI Tour, it would be cool to see a Lucas or WoO race there... I has a large enough grandstand and the best racetrack popcorn 🍿 in the country!

I don’t see WOO/Lucas ever going back to Taz.
The teams hated it and complained loudly when the series were there. The road in/out with the big haulers, terrible pit area, 50 year old facilities. Not to mention alot of torn up equipment. The races use to be great but with the much wider cars- not so much side by side anymore. Passing has to be calculated.

Well tazwell is one of the fastest race tracks in the country I think with some updates to the facility they should get the big tours back however they do run a 20 grand to win race in the spring the race track is fast with a track record under 11 seconds

I also wouldn't mind them seeing going all the way to the West Coast but that'll never be more than a dream.

The travel costs would be horrible for most teams. California, no way. California DOT would play h*ll on the haulers like they have in the past with NHRA transporters and other racing transporters. When I worked for NASCAR Touring the big end of the year show was at Irwindale and NASCAR had to issue all kinds of helpful memos to the teams on how to not get tripped up by California DOT just get there and get out of there without major headaches. California fuel costs are now much greater as well. It's a no go zone.

That maybe would leave Oregon. Again, that is just too expensive of a tow to get a decent field of cars even if Oregon has a few to draw from.

You beat me to it, I totally agree!

Sycamore has proven to be good racing for the supers and the popcorn is absolutely terrific!! 🤘😎

WoO and High Limit both go to Cali. Not saying late models should, but I don’t think the haulers are the issue

How many race teams right now touring around the South and Midwest have to deal with motorsports permits to go into a certain state? Yes, major sprint car racing does go to California and most of those major sprint car teams are touring with semis (more like NASCAR teams) and not the DLM popular toterhome with a stacker (which must be 65 ft or less to be permitted in California). I'll bet those drivers for those sprint car teams transporters are completely DOT compliant and having to show hours of operation and all that good stuff when they are checked in California as well.

So there is a pain in the @ss factor involved with California.

[Highside Hustler25]

Not surprised considering California is the septic tank of America.

We all want to see new tracks. I'm sure many tracks are hesitant to put up such a large guaranteed purse, and thus stick to regional series like the Summer Nationals and MARS. Does anyone know how much a LOLMS or WoO purse is for a track?
