Title: WHY NO RACES DURING SPEEDWEEK ???
Post by: ROCKITV8 on October 01, 2008, 05:59:14 PM
I live in Ohio and want to race when I come down for Speedweek (Flat Track, TT) with all the races at Volusia and New Smyrna and East Lake why doesn't anyone have any quad races during this time? They race everything else during this week with tracks running 7 nights. I know they would get people from all over  :-\  Even if one of the tracks mentioned above would throw in a class during intermission would be great.

Thunderbowl Speedway is less than hour from Daytona. We have TT & Flat Track racing. We race every month, and I'm sure we will be racing during Speedweek. We don't have next years schedule complete, because we are waiting for the national TT series dates to be announced, so we can schedule around them. There are some AMA flat track and TT events down here, but they are during Bike Week. The Bike Week series is a week long series, and one or two of those days are at Thunderbowl, and one or two at Volusia. New Smyrna is asphalt, so no flat track racing there. They did run a large Supermoto event for bikes and quads there a couple of years ago (also during Bike Week)I didn't go, but I understand it had a poor turnout. Eastbay has run quads and bikes, a few times in the past but will not run them anymore. Plus consider all the tracks you mentioned run major late model, modified, sprint, etc. races, and make a large part of their money for the year during that week, so it doesn't make sense to them to replace a big $$$ car race with a quad/motorcycle race. Look us up when you come down.
