I hope Camping World thinks they're getting enough for their sponsor $$$ to keep/expand the series, good stuff!. The one change I'd like to see is stopping the countdown-clock when they throw the yellow for a commercial.

Indeed burdell, hopefull they will continue to add races and lengthen the season. I know your partial to the indy guys but it was good to see Bobby win one and Classic Matt Kenseth with a late race charge to the front. Fun to see and hear Andretti and some of the other Indy guys trying to beat the NASCAR guys . Another great Saturday night race!

Eh.. Hey, happy to see Bobby win, he's run excellent all season. But, that was one of the snoozier SRX races, I thought.

I'm not against expanding the fields, which I really kinda think does need to happen, but, balanced.. Remember they're racing pretty much exclusively on short tracks and.. Zero sense to have 30 cars there. But.. Getting to 15 or 20.. I'm in favor of that.


Expanding the season.. Again, if done with a good balance.. I wouldn't go much further than 10 races.

Yes, it was good! I'm more of an F1 fan and this year with the 'clean sheet' design has produced some good racing. I really enjoy SRX when one of the local hot-shoes has a good go at their home track but over all I'm really enjoying this series. Saturday night short-track is such a traditional American sport and rarely fails to produce some good racing. Maybe a strange idea but I'd like to see someone like a fuel funny car driver get a shot, they may not intentionally make turns but the top guys have super-quick hands and I think it'd be interesting. Put John Force in a roundy-round car!

I liked seeing the #48 Chevelle on the show/track. That car sat in a local AZ wrecking yard around here for years. They were going to crush it. I saved it, got a title for it and a Nascar cage put in it. Plan was to make a clone of the #8 Grand National car. But it sat here for over 20 years with no other progress so it went to a great home.

I loved when they were talking about/with Tony Stewart and how it seemed he was as anxious to win at this little bullring as he'd be to win Dayton, et al.

Love 'im or hate 'im the man is absolutely 100% a RACER!
