Wait a minute...What?!?!?
Tow money? A driver roster? Trying to get teams committed to following the series?
I thought High Limit was all about randomness. No loyalty. No commitment. Freedom to run wherever you'd like whenever you'd like.
You mean to tell me they are looking for regular, committed teams for their series? Unreal, unacceptable, and unheard of?!?!?

The drivers can run where they want when they want. But you have to be a regular to get the perks. There is not a 4 race limit the the WRG puts on their drivers. I am going to both outlaw shows & HL shows.
Right now the HL shows that caught my eye are the September ones at Lernerville. Since there isn't a track that has them near my hometown in Juniata county PA. Also all the HL Elorda shows.
The Outlaws it looks like all the Eldora, Williamsgrove, and Selinsgrove shows.
Let's go Sprint Car Racing!
Knoxville - Best Track In the USA!
Eldora - 2nd Best Track in the USA!

I think with the high paying events on the Outlaw side along with the Nationals there will be plenty of High Limit driver sightings at Outlaw races. On the other hand I don't expect many WoO drivers to have the time or energy to hit High Limit races on their days off. They have a very full schedule as it is now. If anyone doesn't remember it was Outlaw drivers that pushed for fewer weekday shows and more multi day events. No here we are not that many years later and we have this situation where there's a mutiny because they want to race more. I can't keep up!!!

Good observation Stan. It is kind of funny. My take is that there are different scenarios at play now that were not here a few years ago.
1) Larson wants to race more and it needs to be mid-week shows
2) FloRacing - they love to have mid-week content for their subscribers.
And... they are both bringing lots of cash. Thats' the only way this HL thing came into existence

I bet that came from the lower purses for the midweek shows. Remember that too....the drivers don't like racing for smaller purses.
