lead and eventual victory on Lap 9. Cornet settled for second ahead of
point leader Billy Wallace, Koa Crane and Josh Wiesz.
Brett
Youngman won the 20 lap Winged Crate Sprint Main Event. This was the
fourth win of the season for the reigning champion and current point
leader. The division has yet to have less than 10 cars in any of the
races they've held at Marysville or Chico so far, but Kelly Hicks
scratched prior to the feature race to leave nine starters. David Sims
jumped into the early lead ahead of Dusty Barton and Jason Ballantine. A
Lap 5 yellow flag waved for Cameron Haney Jr in Turn 4 with Haney
exiting the race at that point. On the restart, Sims spun in Turn 3 and
collected Spencer Slocum for a yellow flag. Youngman was able to take
the lead from Barton on the restart with Jason Ballantine still in
third. A yellow flag waved for the final time on Lap 10 for Slocum.
Youngman led the restart with Jason Balllantine taking second from
Barton. Barton moved past Ballantine for second on Lap 14, but the
tenacious Ballantine regained second for good on Lap 18. Youngman won by
a straightaway ahead of Jason Ballantine as Barton settled for third
ahead of Sims, rookie Wyatt Van Lare, Chad Thompson, Mike Ballantine,
Slocum and Haney. The six lap heat race wins went to Jason Ballantine
and Barton.
Philip Shelby won the 20 lap Pepsi
IMCA Sport Modified Main Event. The past Sport Modified and Stock Car
champion becomes the first repeat winner in five races. Jeremy Phillips
raced into the early lead ahead of Mike Merritt and Brian Cooper. Cooper
gained second on Lap 2, and a yellow flag waved on Lap 4 for a tangle
between Mike Merritt and Todd Cooper in Turn 2. Phillips continued to
lead Brian Cooper on the restart as fourth row starter Shelby settled
into third. Shelby took second from Brian Cooper on Lap 10, and a Lap 12
yellow flag waved for Michael Helwig. Philips led the restart with
Shelby beginning to pressure him as Brian Cooper still held third.
Shelby finally grabbed the lead on Lap 16 as Philips saw his race come
to an end for a yellow flag. Shelby led Brian Cooper on the restart.
Incoming point leader Jimmy Ford had worked his way into third at that
point, but he retired with mechanical issues, handing the position to
Mike Merritt. Shelby pulled away a little bit from Brian Cooper in
victory as Mike Merritt finished third, followed by Damien Merritt,
Scott Savell, Willie Horn Jr, Todd Cooper, Helwig, Thomas Reynolds and
Ford. The eight lap heat race wins went to Brian Cooper and Shelby.
Jay
Norton won the 20 lap Limited Late Model Main Event. This was the third
win in four races for Norton, who is the point leader aboard the Steven
Ahart owned entry. Norton started things off by winning the eight lap
heat race, and Matt Davis scratched to leave six starters for the Main
Event. Dan Brown Jr had the pole and charged into the early lead ahead
of Rod Oliver and Jay Norton. Norton grabbed second on a Lap 4 restart
following a yellow flag for Wayne Trimble. Oliver had problems and
retired with Ray Trimble settling into third. The race had Lap 10 and
Lap 13 yellow flags, but Brown continued to lead Norton and Ray Trimble
on each restart. However, Norton began pressuring Brown hard down the
stretch and made his winning maneuver on the final lap. Norton brought
it home to victory ahead of Brown, Ray Trimble, Eddie Gardner, Wayne
Trimble and Oliver.
Racing continues next
Saturday with the Winged 360 Sprint Cars back in action along with the
Pepsi IMCA Sport Modifieds, NorCal Dwarf Cars and Limited Late Models.

Huge Turnout For 4th Of July Weekend Racing
At Diamond Mountain Speedway
Susanville,
CA...July 3-4...Racing fans witnessed a huge turnout of racers for a
six division offering at Diamond Mountain Speedway on 4th of July
weekend. There were over 100 cars on Sunday, and the Saturday portion
checked in at roughly 130 cars. Drivers checked in from four different
states to be a part of the action.
In
IMCA Modified competition, point leader Riley Simmons won the Saturday
night show, and State point leader Jim Pettit II picked up the victory
on Sunday. On Saturday, they had 40 drivers. Simmons has been a dominant
force in the IMCA Modifieds this year, and the Saturday win was the
sixth of the season for Simmons, who now has a 101 point lead over Chris
Neiman in the championship battle. Simmons came from the third row to
win the Saturday race ahead of Pahrump, Nevada racer Jason Pike, Chris
Neiman, Jake Pike and Scott Foreman. Matt Murphy outran Pettit and Shawn
LaRocque to win the first of two B Mains. Chris Olexiewicz won the
second race ahead of Malen Gonzalez and Santa Maria racer Danny Lauer.
There were six eight lap heat races, won by Gene Kay, Olexiewicz, Jimmy
Lipke, James Thibodeaix, reigning champion Ryan McDaniel and Simmons.
Pettit
not only avoided the B Main on Sunday, he had a front row start and
outduled the father and son duo of Jason Pike and Jake Pike to get the
win. Jake Pike ended up second ahead of Jason Pike, Zach Cail and Buddy
Kniss. Darrell Hughes II came from the fourth row to win the first B
Main ahead of polesitter Matt Murphy and Wade Kennemore. Jimmy Lipke won
the second race ahead of 2019 State champion Trevor Fitzgibbon and
Kathy Sample. The eight lap heat race wins went to Kniss, Simmons, Jason
Pike, Bill Pearson, Raymond Lindemann and Jake Pike. While Simmons has a
commanding lead in the championship battle, Chris Nieman only has a 17
point advantage over Wade Kenmore in a closer race for second.
Yreka
star Ryan Peery showed why he is the point leader at Siskiyou Golden
Speedway by winning the Main Events on both Saturday and Sunday night.
On Saturday night, Peery started on the front row and held off Antioch
star Mark Garner for the victory. Past Nevada State IMCA Modified
champion Robert Miller came from the fifth row in brother Randy Miller's
car to finish third ahead of Phillip Shelby and Jimmy Ford. Tyler
Rogers came from the third row to win the B Main ahead of track point
leader Richard Longacre and past Cottage Grove Speedway champion David
Schmidt. Kenny Shrader, Peery, Garner, State point leader Trevor Clymens,
Craig Nieman and Shelby won the eight lap heat races.
On
Sunday, Peery again got the win from the front row in a battle with
fellow front row starter Shelby, who settled for second, followed by
Miller, Schmidt and Longacre. The eight lap heat race wins went to
Peery, Miller, Cole Olexiewicz and Clymens. A look at the standings
finds Longacre holding a six point advantage over Colton Chew in a
close battle. Ryan Belli is 41 points out of the lead, but he leads
Craig Neiman by three points and Shayna Nieman by four tallies in a
closer battle for third.
The
Hobby Stocks also had a strong turnout with wins going to Royce Goetz
on Saturday and Terry Kennemore on Sunday. Goetz started the Saturday
feature on the second row and got the lead relatively quickly. From the
6th row, point leader Randy Boyd battled his way up to second to finish
ahead of championship contender Jacob Dias, Bakersfield star Johnny Wood
and Tom Haxall. Boyd had to win the B Main to get into the feature race
while Richard Italiano and Madison Hood finished second and third,
respectively. JT Stack, Royce Goetz, Douglas Weeks, Wood and Jacob Dias
won the eight lap heat races.
The
Sunday feature found Terry Kennemore starting on the pole and battling
second row starter Goetz to pick up the win. Wood finished third ahead
of Joe Conway and Carl Barlow. Kennemore, Haxall, Goetz and Conway
picked up the eight lap heat race wins. Boyd holds an 18 point lead over
Dias in the championship battle with Don Dieter trailing by 35 markers.
Multi-time
Orland Raceway champion Tom Davis once again invaded the Mini Stock
division and picked up the wins on both Saturday and Sunday. He now has
five feature wins. The Sunday race found Davis starting on the pole and
scoring the win ahead of Kate Robertson, Nick Boucher, new point leader
Suzie Schmitt and an unidentified driver in the #83 car. Davis and
Schmidt won the eight lap heat races.
Davis
again had a pole position start on Sunday and outran Boucher for the
victory. Bob Kelly ended up third, followed by an unidentified driver in
the #5 car and Schmitt. Kate Robertson ended up disqualified on this
occasion. Davis, Schmitt and Boucher won the eight lap heat races.
The Robertson disqualification put Schmitt into the lead by 15 points
ahead of Robertson while Kelly is 81 points out of the lead in third.
Track
Promoter Jeff Olschowka got behind the wheel and picked up the Saturday
night Tri State Pro Stock Challenge Series Main Event win, while Robert
Miller won the race on Sunday. Olschowka had to battle his way from the
fourth row and got around track point leader Jay Sears for the lead and
victory. Sears settled for second ahead of Miller, Chris Smith and Ryan
Smith. Sears and Ryan Smith won the eight lap heat races. The Sunday
race found Miller winning from the pole ahead of reigning Western Pro
Stock champion Justin Crockett, Kenny Schmitt and Olschowka. Miller
won the eight lap heat race. The track now lists Sears as the point
leader by two tallies ahead of Crockett, five in front of Ryan Smith and
six over Olschowka.
The
Nevada based Battleborn Sprint Cars competed on both nights with Nick
Purdy winning on Saturday and Larry Tachovsky claiming the victory on
Sunday. On Saturday, Purdy started on the second row and battled Bruce
Ferrier and Tachovsky. In the end, Purdy claimed the prize ahead of
Tachovsky, Ferrier, Grasen Tenora and Jordan Garretson. Tachovsky won
the eight lap heat race. Tachovsky had a pole position start on Sunday
and battled Garretson for the win as Purdy settled for third ahead of
Tenora and Ferrier. Tachovsky also won the eight lap heat race. After
six events, the track has released a point list for this group, and
Ferrier holds a one point advantage over the tied Tachovsky and Purdy.
Ferrier and Tachovsky each have two wins while Purdy is a one-time
winner.

The Editor's Viewpoint
I
started writing this column Sunday morning, and it went on and on. I
decided to make a second attempt. It's Monday morning after what was a
fairly busy weekend of racing. Though some tracks didn't run, others
made up for it by having two or even three races for the weekend. With
the weather cooling off a little bit here and the internet deciding it
wanted to function, I was able to get back into my usual routine. If I'm
not going to be at a race track and I'm going to be doing the media
effort, I prefer having different scoring apps going as I jot down notes
in real time.
The biggest problem with this
column as well as this blog is that I don't know when to say enough.
I've always had the attitude of wanting to cover as much as possible. I
will keep adding to it until it is too much. It was supposed to be an
easier blog after this year, but I'm generally covering a dozen races
per week. This column just goes on and on, and then I dread going
through the editing process. Between this usually lengthy column and all
of the review articles I do, editing takes too long. I've grown tired
of editing, especially knowing that there's still a deadline involved,
even if it's not a rigid deadline.
Obviously, I
have no intentions of dropping any of the racing blogs that I have
created as long as I have the choice. You never know what the company
I'm dealing with will do, but I'll keep it going if I can. However, I
need to get more into the nostalgia mode and work on books beyond the
one that I hope to release at the end of the year or early next year.
The books that follow the next book will be more history related, and I
think I have something to offer that people might be interested in. With
the busy media effort that I do during the season, it just doesn't
work. Can I maintain any kind of a media effort after this year that
would be worthy?
What I've been contemplating,
in addition to creating a DCRR webpage and possible message board, is
getting more into audio and video stuff. There's time involved in
creating that stuff, but writing about all of the tracks takes even
longer. I'm not only looking to make it easier on myself, I'm also
looking at any possibility of generating revenue. Time is money, and
I've obviously done a lousy job with my time when you put it next to the
money measuring stick. So be it. I am looking to make a change with the
audio stuff that we do, in style and where it's hosted.
Not
to drag this on too long, but I think I can cover a lot of different
stuff using audio, and it's easier for people to digest. They can play
the half an hour or hour-long show and get that information without
sitting down and reading a bunch of articles. I will never give up
writing, because that's what I do. However, blog posts can become
special interest stories about whatever topic, Pit Stops columns or
whatever and it would be easier to edit. That's what I'm thinking on a
Monday morning when it comes to the future of DCRR Racing Media. I want
to put the books first. You never know how much time you've got on this
planet, and there are certain things I'd like to put out there for
people who might be interested in reading them.
The
Jefferson State Racing News blog has an article in the pipeline where I
look at Mountain Valley Raceway in Hayfork and Orland Raceway. I have a
few thoughts and observations from these tracks. The Hayfork track has
been around for 10 years. Josh Smith is the current promoter, but I'm
not sure how many others have been there before him. The important thing
is they've kept the gates open at one of the most unlikely racing
venues anywhere on the West Coast. They just had a meeting recently, and
it was announced that they will pay $1,500 to win the Hobby Stocks and
$1,000 to win the Mini Stocks if they can get 10 cars in those classes
this Saturday night.
Without getting too wordy,
what I will say is they need to focus on building the community there.
They need to get racers who want to be there on any given Saturday night
and get the fans wanting to come out to watch. While bigger prize money
might attract the guys from Orland or wherever, they need to persuade
the locals to want to be out there. Without them, there is no show. The
Mini Stocks and Hobby Stocks have a double digit roster in the area,
though they're not all showing up. The Enduro class does as well. The
question ought to be, how do we make these guys want to come out here
and how do we build a nice little show? I can honestly say their show
should have developed further along after 10 years, but the revolving
door promoter situation has certainly not helped.
The
reason classes like Hobby Stocks, Mini Stocks and Enduros are what a
new track might use to build up a roster is because these are the more
affordable divisions to start with. They don't require a big purse, and
you can get them up to double digits relatively quickly. That means a
couple of heats, a dash and a Main Event. This should be the priority.
Building the infrastructure, building the roster, spreading the word in
Hayfork and surrounding towns and turning this into something special.
They can get a good roster from the classes they have. Once they do
that, they can even entertain bringing in bigger series. I'll write more
on the subject in the upcoming article on the Jefferson State Racing
News blog.
I've been the biggest critic of the
Winged Crate Sprint division, which has been around now for approaching
10 years. I felt like Marysville Raceway and Silver Dollar Speedway had a
thriving Wingless SPEC Sprint class, and this division divided the
roster and decimated the SPEC Sprints, while not really growing its own
ranks. However, they've had five races at Marysville and two at Chico
this year, and the car count has never dropped below 10.
This
is progress, and I'm going to cautiously praise them. My hope is that I
don't jinx them by saying this. I'm a fan of the Limited Winged Sprint
class and liked what they had at Merced Speedway back in the 1990s. It
was even cooler when they were the Cal Mods in the late 1980s and early
1990s. Chuck Griffin was the one who seemed to kill the momentum every
time they had it.
I recognize that there are
people who insist on having wings, but I don't necessarily think the
Crate Sprint division is needed as a feeder class for Winged 360
Sprints. New drivers are coming into that class anyway, and competing
shows at Placerville and Chico on Sunday delivered over 60 cars and B
Mains at both tracks. What the Crate Sprints can do is give the budget
minded racer a taste a Sprint Car racing. Maybe they get good at this
class and over time get the sponsorship needed to move up. You might get
Stock Car people into Sprint Cars in the same way that Wingless SPEC
Sprints accomplished that.
I would like to see
this division grow beyond just getting 10 cars. If they can get up in
the high teens, it becomes possible for Marysville to book just a Crate
Sprint show now and then without Winged 360 Sprint Cars on the card.
First of all, that would give the 360 guys a break or keep Marysville
from competing against the bigger show they don't have a chance against.
Secondly, you're not talking the same purse money for Crate Sprints. If
you've got enough of those cars on the track, only the purists will
complain about them not being "real" Sprint Cars. The average fan will
see a bunch of cars on the track and be entertained by it. My hope Is
that the Crate Sprint's momentum doesn't end here as it did before. 10
cars is nice, but 20 would be better.
This is
where I really got wordy in my initial attempt to write this column but
not this time. Southern Oregon Speedway sort of laid an egg this week
with the Battle Of The Borders $2,500 to win Late Model race. There was
$4,500 in money going out to just the Top 3 finishers, and the division
only delivered 13 cars. I was apprehensive about them booking this race
as I think it would have been wiser to be cautious about too many big
events coming a year after the pandemic, but I'll leave it at that. They
went for it, and at least that shows that they cared about the class.
My biggest concern is that they may abandon Late Models when they start
taking a look at the numbers. There's always been a Late Model class in
Medford for the taking. It just took former Promoter Mike McCann to
start putting it together the right way.
The
fact that the car count failed to get where it could have wasn't just
management's fault. They had no control over Willamette Speedway booking
a $1,500 to win 100 lap show that would pull 15 cars, knowing fully
well that they were booking on top of the bigger paying purse down in
Southern Oregon. I think the biggest mistake they made in Medford was
assuming everybody was just going to be there. There was an outside
shot, without Willamette booking what they did, of getting 20 cars.
However, they couldn't do that merely by putting up a schedule or even
having their announcer/TV guy talk about it on the local news.
It
boils down to these guys having to figure out what they're doing, how
to book a schedule and all of that. They've done good things with the
facility itself, but now it's about putting cars on the track and making
people want to be there. The first thing they should be doing is
working harder on social media and have somebody on the scene who can
write an article. Though I like the fact that they got a TV guy to
announce, that's only one piece of the puzzle.
Did
anybody down there notice what I was doing for the four years that I
was involved there? I'm not trying to brag or any of that. I'm just
saying there were articles written all the time, social media, video
shares and whatever it took, and it made a difference. I've already
pointed out that they could pick up the phone and call Daren Ricks
Campbell, and they'd have a guy who could do it right. The people down
there know who he is.
Without stretching this
too much longer, the cancellation of the race in Yreka due to the fires
presented Medford management with the opportunity to add the Southern
Oregon Dwarf Cars and Mini Stocks to assure that there would be a car
count. As SODCA was scheduled to race at Yreka on Saturday, I don't
think the Medford-based group would have had an issue moving the race to
their home track. I know the Mini Stock guys would have been there with
bells on as several of them were planning to go to Yreka as it was.
This is what we call a missed opportunity. They are also finding out
that attendance in the grandstands isn't guaranteed. Let's just say, the
numbers weren't great, but the social and general media effort that I'm
talking about would have helped a little bit at least.
I
find it interesting that dueling Winged 360 Sprint Car shows at Chico
and Placerville produced a 32 car field at both venues. Yeah, the Winged
360 Sprint Cars are one of the strongest classes in California at the
moment. I'm not sure what to make of the previous weekend, where dueling
IMCA Modified shows with bigger purses produced nine cars at Antioch
and 13 at Bakersfield. Yeah, you've got the IMCA Sport Modifieds nipping
at their heels. I will also point out that we're coming out of the
other end on the pandemic, and I warned going back to last year that
declining numbers in the pits and the grandstands would be a reality.
I'm
not sure how management at Madera, Orland, Petaluma and Merced might
have felt about running on 4th of July weekend. From what I've seen, the
attendance wasn't great at any of these venues. Then again, Orland
hasn't been doing much to build an attendance, and their car count is
down a bit this year. Madera has struggled for the last couple of Club
Races, while the MavTV Series stuff is doing okay. It's just that when
you put divisions on the track that can't even reach double digits, and
that's all of your divisions, fans have less incentive to come out and
watch. I can't say what the attendance was like in Madera, although I
doubt it was that good. The car count was less than desired.
Merced
and Petaluma are two tracks that stayed away from the 4th of July in
recent weeks, but Merced was anxious to get some cars on the track
during the County Fair. Management actually booked that show in a smart
way. There was nothing with a big purse at the track, and four of the
five classes produced double digits. Even the California Sharp Mini Late
Models had nine cars.
I was pleased to see 11
Sportsman cars as that division tries to rally back. I was even happier
to see 10 IMCA Stock Cars considering they were running against the
bigger race at Sunset Speedway in Oregon. All in all, the show was okay
from a car count standpoint, but I would guess management will be
nervous with the USAC West Coast 360 Sprint Cars around the corner.
Petaluma
Speedway had to give up the Winged 360 Sprint Car show they booked so
that the drivers could support the SCCT race in Stockton. Management
decided to throw the 600 Micro Sprints on the schedule with $500 more in
the purse and got a decent 16 car turnout. The Dwarf Cars had around
20, but how would the IMCA Modifieds do with $1,500 to win and a minimum
of $200 to start?
The answer was 13 cars, the
same as they had at the previous extra money affair two weeks earlier. I
don't think it helped them the way they hoped, and attendance wasn't
spectacular. The one thing putting the money up for these guys did do is
serve notice to the IMCA Modified crowd that the track cares about this
class and appreciates what they bring to the table.
I
was critical of Sunset Speedway running a $5,000 to win IMCA Stock Car
race on Sunday. I know Jerry Schram probably has the money to throw at
that deal, and he's certainly invested in this class. Part of it was his
attempt to send a message to the rebelling Street Stock class that he
didn't need them. That's why IMCA Stock Cars got the foothold they did
in Oregon. Furthermore, Jerry is selling cars and competing in one.
My
contention is promoters need to be cautious about when and where to put
the extra money on the line, especially as we come out of the pandemic
and money is tighter than normal. Should the IMCA Stock Cars have a
$5,000 to win race is my question? I guess they can if the promoter
wants to pay the money, although I'm not sure it's a wise move.
I
thought there would be more California participation, but other than
the two Gallaher cars, it was mostly Oregonians and some Washington
racers. They had enough cars that they had to run a B Main as car count
reached the mid-20s. It's kind of interesting that Hanford and
Bakersfield have been running this class for how long now, but the first
track to reach 20 cars for the IMCA Stock Cars on the West Coast was in
Banks, Oregon this past weekend. Granted, it took the big prize money
to get them there, but I would classify the two race weekend they just
had as successful with solid turnouts for this class, Northwest Dwarf
Cars, IMCA Modifieds and 600 Micro Sprints.
Cottage
Grove Speedway did the Freedom Cup. This was a three-race weekend
series with point fund money on the line and regular purse money for
each race. I was critical a few years ago of Heather Boyce when she
bucked the trend the other promoters were a part of in adding the IMCA
Sport Modifieds to the Wild West Speedweek Series. She didn't feel she
needed to do that for whatever reason, but to show that she cared about
the Sport Modifieds, she created the Freedom Cup with some initial
sponsorship help from Chris Frisbie. This has developed into a special
weekend and also includes IMCA Modifieds and Todd's Auto Body Limited
Sprint Cars, and I have to give Heather credit for that.
Car
count was solid on all three nights, and the Saturday portion delivered
B Mains for all three divisions. I'm not so sure about the point system
they are using. The point fund champions were Jorddon Braaten in the
IMCA Sport Modifieds, Jesse Williamson in the IMCA Modifieds and Johnny
Burke in the Todd's Auto Body Limited Sprints. The Top 10 drivers in
points got money with $1,000 to the champions and a minimum of $100. I
don't know how Nick Trenchard wins two IMCA Modified Main Events and
finishes second in the other and somehow loses the title. Too much
emphasis on time trials? I think the point system might need some
tweaking, which might include passing points in the Main Event. I know
that's more of a pain in the butt to calculate, but I also know Nick did
quite a bit of passing.
However, I don't see
how Heather would be displeased about what just happened at Cottage
Grove this weekend. Good racing, a fireworks display on Sunday and
everybody seemed to have fun. There was a good turnout in the
grandstands as well. It is interesting that there was quite a bit of
Medford area driver support across all three divisions, and yet we
didn't see much Cottage Grove support in the Medford Late Model show. I
wish I could say I was surprised about that, but I saw it coming a mile
away. We couldn't get the Cottage Grove guys to come when Mike ran the
track. If the new management can change that trend, that would be a good
thing.
If I can circle back to the Vintage
Valley Sportsman division at Merced Speedway, I was happy to see 11 cars
show up. That's the biggest turnout the division has had in a very long
time. There were two Bay Area Hardtop guys, and the Junkyard Dog of
Doug Braudrick got the win with Joel Hannagan behind the wheel. I'm not
surprised in the least by that, and he was by far the fastest car on the
track.
Mark Odgers gave a good accounting of
himself before the flat tire. They have another race on July 24th, and
there's a couple other Sportsman cars I sure hope make it then. It
wouldn't take much to get to 16 cars in this class, but the drivers have
to have the desire to make it happen. It's possible we could see a few
Sportsman cars when the California Hardtops reconvene at Marysville on
July 17th, that is unless it gets canceled because the weather is too
hot. You never know with the CHA.
The Stockton
Dirt Track shook off the disappointing turnout of the Stock Car oriented
show by delivering the goods for the Sprint Car Challenge Tour and Hunt
Wingless Sprint Series race. Between the two groups, there were 50
cars. More importantly, Tom Sagmiller has done a good job of delivering a
smooth racing surface. Stockton had been developing a bit of a
reputation as being tough on race cars, and it's obvious Tony Noceti has
been trying to smooth things over and give the racers something better
to race on. Tom has taken on the challenge and definitely takes a lot of
pride in the work he does in track preparation. I would have to say the
show last weekend in terms of car count was a success, although I have
no idea what the fan attendance was.
I still
think it comes back to Tony investing in media. He needs somebody
working Facebook, Twitter and whatever other social media. He needs
somebody writing articles and putting the message out there. If people
are concerned about track conditions, then the message that the track is
committed to improving on that and having some success needs to be
conveyed. I've said this before and I'll say it again. Stockton's not
the only track that's lagging on this. It boggles my mind how little
value track management at various venues puts in having a media person,
and yet a good media person can make them money.
I'd
like to hopefully end this column by circling back to the Bay Area.
Ocean Speedway will be racing on July 9th. Much like Antioch Speedway,
they took last weekend off for the holiday. Several Antioch area racers
participated in the 4th of July parade put on by the city. You have to
give an assist to jack of all trades Larry Adams, who is the one who
negotiated the track's inclusion in the parade back in 2019. Somebody
had burnt a bridge over 20 years ago, but that bridge has been repaired.
Antioch Speedway has been using the time to work new clay on to the
racing surface, so hopefully that produces a good show when the IMCA
Modifieds, IMCA Sport Modifieds, IMCA Stock Cars and Hobby Stocks return
this Saturday night.
Petaluma Speedway has a
special occasion coming up this Saturday night, and the NARC/King of the
West Winged 410 Sprint Cars will be there. Actually, the series will be
having some special shows coming up, including the $5,000 to win Howard
Kaeding Classic at Ocean Speedway on July 17th. That race will pay $800
just to take the green flag. Petaluma will be honoring Baylands Raceway
this Saturday. If you look at your history, you'll understand that
Baylands Raceway Park was at the table in launching the King of the West
Series back in 1985. It was the Golden State Challenge King of
California Series back in those days. NARC supported those races, so if
you had a 30 car field for one of their shows, the Golden State
Challenge Series was even bigger.
Baylands
Raceway was a part of many things. Though the facility may not have been
state of the art or one of the nicest looking places, they had a killer
3/8 mile clay oval, a quarter-mile drag strip, 1/8 mile track for
Karts, Micros and Motorcycles. They had it all. If you could bring two
or three cars, they might even make a division for you. Though they had
big Sprint Car events with wing and without, they also took care of the
Stock Cars.
If you go back to when it was
Fremont Speedway in the 1970s, it was about BCRA Midgets and a rip
roaring Mini Stock program. We still feel the loss of Baylands Raceway
to this day, and it's really cool that Petaluma is honoring the place.
I'm thinking Dennis Mattish might even be there to sell some copies of
his recently released book on the history of Fremont racing.
I've
mentioned how Petaluma Promoter John Pershing Soares was in the right
place at the right time when Vallejo Speedway closed, and he gained
their remaining Super Stocks and Street Stocks in the 1980s. The show at
Petaluma was second to none back then. When Baylands closed at the end
of 1988, David Vodden brokered a deal for all of the divisions to be
welcomed at Petaluma. The All Pro Series was born in 1989, and 125-150
cars in the pits over the next few years was the norm. You really had to
be there to see it. Some might have thought it was too much, but you
definitely got your money's worth.
It was
always the intention of Vodden to relocate those divisions to a new
track, but everything he tried to do didn't quite work out. David is
running the show at Willows, which is a road course not far from Orland.
There's been talk about a dirt track being added to that venue,
although I am unaware of anything proceeding yet. David also writes
motorsports columns and is still very much involved in the sport. He's a
go-getter and somebody that I definitely respect. What's interesting is
there is still a tie in between Petaluma and Baylands to this day, and
that lineage actually goes back to the 1970s.
Sadly,
the Modified Mini Stocks and American Stocks went away. The Sprint 100s
and Outlaw Sprint Buggies thought they could do it without Petaluma and
have since faded away. The Winged 360 Sprint Cars and Mini Stocks,
however, continue to be a part of Petaluma since joining the roster in
1989. Obviously, Sprint Car racing became a regular thing at Baylands
when it opened in 1982. The Mini Stock program in all of its various
configurations goes back to the 1970s there. The racing historian will
understand that it is the same heritage, although Petaluma just runs one
type of Mini Stock, and not three or four as they did back in the days
of Fremont Raceway or Baylands.
In any case,
I'm thinking the Salute to Baylands this Saturday night at Petaluma
Speedway should go over well, and I'm a fan of honoring heritage in the
sport. According to the NARC/KWS Series, Vodden will actually be there
along with some stars from Sprint Car racing at the old track. I'm not
sure who they're talking about, but David's presence at Petaluma alone
is pretty cool. I can honestly say that he did good things for that
track when he had the authority to do so and gave a really good effort
when it came to trying to find another location. It's just hard to put
another track anywhere in the Bay Area with what you're up against.
My
hope was to leave everything as it was written on Monday and not add
anything. It came across my desk that thanks to some sponsorship,
Siskiyou Golden Speedway will be offering more money dependent on car
count for the IMCA Sport Modifieds this Saturday night. The show should
be good as the SODCA Dwarf Cars, Outlaw Pro Stocks and Mini Stocks are
also on the card. However, the Medford guys have a race at Southern
Oregon Speedway in the Sport Modifieds, so I don't know who might come.
What I do know is it's $500 to win if Yreka can at least get 10 cars,
which hasn't happened for the past couple of races. It's $800 to win at
15 cars and 20 cars will net them $1,000 to win. I give them credit for
trying, although I do wonder if raising the start money a little bit
might get the attention of guys who maybe don't feel they have a chance
to win.
Tuesday afternoon, Stockton Dirt Track
management announced they are dropping the remainder of the Stock Car
schedule for this year. The Sprint Car stuff will go on as scheduled,
including the Gary Patterson Memorial race in November. I'm not
surprised by this decision, although I can say I'm disappointed. They
had some of the key ingredients needed to make this happen, but here's
the reality. They didn't really have a Stock Car program at this track
prior to what they were doing last year, so this thing was going to take
time to build. It was also going to require strategic scheduling that
made sure they didn't book over certain events happening elsewhere.
The
Stockton Dirt Track has had a bit of a reputation as being rough on
cars. It's had me wondering at times how safe the place was, but
management has fought to make things better. I know Tom Sagmiller has
been involved in track preparation this year, and all I've been hearing
is that the surface has looked good. I've also heard that Tony Noceti is
paying these guys the full purse no matter how many cars. In other
words, if they said it was $1,500 to win and only nine cars showed up,
the winner got $1,500 to win. This is key to showing the drivers that
you will do what you say you will.
Because
they will do what they say they will, I think management said they can't
afford to pay that kind of purse and not get the car count. I think
they are admitting with this list of cancellations that they know they
will have a difficult task getting the car count that's needed to
justify the show. I don't know if they will go back to the drawing board
in 2022 and try something different with these cars, although I hope
they do.
I will repeat my comments from above
one more time in case anybody missed it. You have to have a good media
presence. This includes written articles, videos and audios and social
media. You have to put it in people's faces. The beautiful part is that
in 2021 there are more options to accomplish the task. Make everybody
want to be there. This was not happening. I understand management is
busy as it is, because they are also promoting the pavement track. Plus,
I believe Tony has other businesses to run. However, they should hire
somebody to do that job if they want to do these things on the dirt
track.
I hear different rumors regarding Tony
and promoting dirt track racing, and I am reluctant to say what I've
been hearing. It could damage anything that's being planned, and it may
not be true. What I will say is the track should be looking at
sanctioning possibilities for the dirt shows. I'm sure you'll hear a
call in unison from the Modified and Sport Modified drivers that IMCA
should be pursued. If they were to book dates for these two classes away
from anything Antioch Speedway does, I don't know that they would get
rejected. It's hard to say, because IMCA continues to reject Coos Bay
Speedway, but I wouldn't think they'd reject them.
Speaking
of Coos Bay, they do have sanctioning there. It's NASCAR sanctioning,
and I'll bring this up in context with Stockton. I wonder what the
possibility would be to bring NASCAR sanctioning to the dirt track in
the future? Since they've shown an interest in booking Late Models and
Pro Stocks, you've got Divisions 1 and 2, and the Hobby Stocks and Mini
Stocks would make Divisions 3 and 4. Or, you could take Modifieds and
put them in there someplace, but the bottom line is you would have a
sanctioning body with some nice point fund money being offered. It's
just a thought.
Ultimately, Tony has to go back
to the drawing board and figure out what he wants to do. There are
certain banner Sprint Car races that have been working and should
continue to do so. With Tractor Pulls and Monster Truck events, they
have other stuff. However, weather has been an interesting thing over
the last few years. There are racing possibilities in January, February
and March, and they could do that in Stockton on certain occasions and
know they had the only game in town.
Sprinkle a
few of those types of shows throughout the year, but not too many of
them. Then, you could actually have a championship season that people
can commit to, knowing that it might only be a half a dozen to eight
races. In any case, I hate to see things get canceled this year, but
they also can't keep losing money because they're not getting driver
support.
I don't think there's anything else I
need to add to this column. I have to get started on race review
articles and try to see if I can get back on a decent schedule, so I'm
going to end this column right where I'm at. Until next time...
