In case you had not noticed for a couple years now Pa results are seldom brought up here no matter who races or wins because it is always turned into a shit show.

The track was bad, no argument there but a Californian took home the check. Thus, this post...chatter!

Maybe because nobody cares. There's no built up rivalry there when it comes to High Limit. It's not a tradition or something that's been going on for decades. It's a new series inheriting events and a fan base that was part of something else for a long time. While there would certainly be a sense of pride in winning a national event, to suggest the rivalry or tension in the crowd is really there...well frankly it's nonexistent.
I'd say, and maybe this is a little off-topic, but High Limit's biggest struggle is going to be not the act of being relevent or being a big series, but creating an aura that doesn't have them as "Just another series" for fans. The money in purses is great, the names are great, the new ideas are great....but at the end of the day you're trying to not only create a brand to go up against or alongside one that's been around for ages, but you're trying to get fans incensed or excited about your product and whether the product on the track aligns or not, they simply can't just "get" a feeling that the Outlaws have been building up for decades just because of the things they're bringing to the table up above.

Well said and not off topic at all. Basically, nobody gives a shit that a HL guy beat the PA guys. NOT. ONE. PERSON.

Bigger deal to me was the Knoxville guy winning night 1 of a HL race in Posse country and 3 of 9 podiums for the HL guys was telling.

You obviously don't understand this event. The saction no matter who it is Allstar, High Limit, or Outlaw The Tuscarora Fifty is a Juniata County Fair event. Nobody there cared that is was High Limit there instead of the Allstars. It was the Tuscarora Fifty and the Fair. It actually has had higher car counts with no Saction than this year. Unfortunately this race itself was a dud this year. I know they were concerned with the weather forecast when prepping the track but it was obvious by mid morning that the rain was not coming and could have changed courses.

Yep. I am from the midwest and none of that rivalry "S" means nothing to me. Not even thw Posse vs. Outlaw. I just want to see a lot of great racing with quality drivers. First 2 nights were great. The 3rd night was one of the worst races I have watched all year, if not the worst.

You nailed it. A rivalry can't be scripted by generating fake hype on Twitter and making videos of drivers playing their respective roles. It actually makes the product seem cheesy. Something like that may develop over time but it won't be because the speedway and the series manufactured hype on social media. Fans will never buy into it. No matter how much you tell them to bring the energy or how much you try to convince them that a rivalry exists. They either feel it or they don't.
