It's Hoppin'

It's Hoppin'

For all the consternation we hear about streaming from time to time, nothing beats the real thing. The sights, the sounds, the smells, the people, the food, all of it blows sitting on the couch out of the water. The season opener at Ogilvie Raceway this past Saturday was no exception.

I suspect we'll see a very, very impressive field of cars for the Slocum 50 with both national touring series off and number guys in the general area between the Outlaws and Lucas Oil Speedway this past weekend.

"What makes a good show?" Notice I didn't say race, as that is more or less something we can all agree on. But the race is just one part of the show, especially for big money, spectacle type events.

It seemed to me that both title contenders are ready and willing to go toe-to-toe this season and that there may be some rubbing, touching, and squeezing along the way. I'm here for it. There is nothing like a good rivalry and points battle to make a season more memorable.

Recliner Reactions - USMTS 3.7.25

Running a "Wait and see" schedule this year, it'll be odd not seeing the yellow and blue #12 not full time on tour.ย  Much deserved though for all the miles and starts he's put on the USMTS tour to enter the next stage in his life.

This week is a banger!

Basically, if you like late model racing and want to see the future of the sport RIGHT NOW, then you should love the USMTS as much as I do!
