The idea has a lot of potential...
I've talked to some people & the Aztec/Cortez/USRA scenario is being talked about seriously.
Never would of thought that possible.
I don't see 2 day shows working due to work & extra lodging expenses, not to mention extra burden on promoters, track prep, personal etc.
If Sandia ' s schedule is as bizarre/dumb next season as it was this year (race 1 week then month off) then Aztec/Show Low should pick up Abq. Cars just wanting to race.
As far as the Harley/raffle deal...EVERYBODY needs to be on board before we approach Sherm.
That whole "hey can we have a Harley"
...uh, never mind, deal's not gonna happen again.
As far as travelers,no idea.We tried everything this year to get the Cruces/EP guys up here . Nothing worked.Nobody came.
If everyone was USRA, you'd probably get guys chasing national points.
Greg (Gorham) showed up to mod madness only because his wife wanted to take the kids to see the balloons.First Cruces visitor in 2 years.
Speaking of Gorham, he showed up w/a LS 5.3 litre truck motor that we've talked about.
Ram 3rd in X mod feature,after starting in back.
And ran a close 3rd in the A mod feature behind Josh & Aaron Spangler...on a track that had grip.
That little 327 spanked a couple of big cubic inch, high dollar 'set on shrapnel'...open motors, that was fun to watch..He ran the only gear he had (6.33) said he'd of done a lot better with a .50
Anyway, looks like we're gonna have several neighborhood tracks to run X mod next season.
Hopefully everyone gets on the same page & schedules accordingly, so we don't all race on the same night.
Realistically,
How many cars you think Show Low gets next year? I LOVE that place.
