There is talk about either denver or seattle getting a nascar track. Which do you think should get one and how should they fit it into the schedual?

It will not happen for at least 5-8 years. Reason being is the powers that be are not too hip on racers or the fans. They claim we all have dead or dieing cars in our driveways, mow the lawn and we find another old car. They believe we are "Rednecks" and dont want to admit they are wrong. These people up here dont believe in racing as a real sport. Next reason is there is not enough of a following up here to fill the stands. And they want private people to put up all the money. The state does not want to spend a dime of their money to please the racing people. We dont even rank on the low end of the totem pole. I better shut up now, or it's off to the trailer for me.

On a side note .....how is the back doing Thunderfoot?
I sincerely hope that you are feeling better Mate!

Hanging in there dude. The weather is not like the Washington weather you may remember. It's been warm and sunny with the prospect of 71 degrees on Friday. The good weather helps the pain stay away. I'm off most of the narcotics and this gizmo in me is working to keep the pain going down the legs at bay. I am trying to get the money together to go racing down in Tucson this summer. As long as the shop is taken care of and all other business here. It's time to play. I dont like Evergreen Speedway. Politics ya know. One of my fathers former drivers is now the manager there. Tobey Butler. I like him. Cant stand his mom. And because of my last name I dont get fair treatment. Just because my father is an a$$hole dont mean I am. Tucson has got a great division there. And I got family there. As long as they can put up with me I'll be there soaking up the sun and wearing out race tires.

Sounds great, would be nice to see you turning a few laps!

Keep hanging in there...

I hear tell there is a great sprint car following down your way. How do they get all the real good stuff we got here. Do you have Aussie made parts? Or do you pay out the nose for importing?

Great following here for Sprint cars and TQ's. I live just a few miles from our local track...

The season here has just finished but bookmark this for next year.
The track has been going for 75 years, used to go as a kid with my Dad.

Cant tell you where they source the parts but we are a pretty resourceful bunch down here....but probably pay through the nose

I would think by sheer numbers alone Denver would have a better chance at getting a race. Neither is anywhere close enough for me to enjoy so it doesn't really matter. I'll just get my reserved seat in front of the tube.

I think the NW has a better chance than Denver. 2 reasons: 1) Denver is USAC country while the NW is "virgin" territory; and 2) there's more active NA$CAR drivers from the NW than from Denver. 'Course that and a dollar will get you a cup of coffee almost anywhere but Starbucks!!!

What about KENTUCKY! No love for the Bluegrass...... damn NA$CAR brass. Once again... a proven venue is getting the snub for a brand new track.....

[nascarfan24]

well ISC just confirmed that seatlle will not be getting a track and denver shouldn't get too excited
plus if a track were built in denver it would be completed in about 2010
but i live in CO so im pretty excited anyway
but i have another question: what kind of track should it be?

There ya go "Q", you've still got a shot at it.

Maybe we'll get another track in my area. We only have two races now !!!

[thunderfoot]

They are thinking now that Lewis County should get the track. Thats south of Olympia, for all you folks that are geographicaly challenged. But I still think it will take an act of the Almighty to get it here.
