per Ibracn this is Lance Dewease

Danny Smith to the Outlaws. I don't have anything good or bad to say about that. Danny has been around a long time. Maybe he can get some wins.

My personal beliefs. I wish we had either a national All Star's or 2: one for the East and one for the west. As of right now i would rather see the All Stars become bigger and better than the WoO.

I am just half drunk and thinking. 2 good series with atleast 12 good traveling drivers. Meeting a few times a year at the same venue.

Clicking 'Here" didn't do much swamp, but I see it said something on he Midwest all stars, in the URL

Ok maybe a tri fector. West Mid and east. Any who I was thinking we need some racers again.

It would be like "Hey lets go to Sedalia this weekend. The West/Midswest All Stars will be there with the East coast All Star posse. An inter league points race. Homer: Okay Marge, its your child against my child. The winner will be showered with praise. The loser will be taunted and booed until my throat is sore.

Be cool for All Star league. About every 8 races tey race against each other for points. I mean I know people like seeing Steve, Danny, Donny and joey all race together. Just isn't working. If you disagree check DIRT stock.

WoO has all the racers. No, no it does not. I kinda will like to see Danny Smith with the WoO. I would also lik to see maybe Steve go race with the All Stars. Mix this Crap up. We have seen the same series and the same drivers go to the same races for 30 years. 25 for me. I miss fun races. Texas pursuits, aussie pursuits or race of states.

I would gladly go to a race if they advertised. "Sunday Sunday Sunday, No points allowed. All Stars drivers. all Money races. Watch you favorite drivers rae for no points and get cash for being The King of the Hill. For being the winner of the Texas Pursuit. The winner of the Aussie Pursuit. Watch them time in only to be damned to the back of the back."

Don't get me wrong I LOVE LOVE LOVE old fashion racing. I watched races at 5 years old I remember now. Though times change and my guess, as a group of good old fans, we are not paying some bills. Purses hardly go up and promoters are being cocky and saying they feel it is us not coming. Not that they suck at promoting.

I love those promoters. I don't know why no one cames to my WoO or All Star race in May? I put a 2 x 2 inch add in the local Penny Saver and I advertised on the radio at 3am. I even had an ad in the local college paper for students to get $2 off on Friday night when they are drunk at a frat house that night.

Thats what 100 proof Cinnamon Schnapps will do to you in Hot Chocolate. It was good though.

In short I think the All Stars could over take the WoO if they keep at it and do something big to attract the fans.
