one of my friends is planning on buying a late model. His last name is Brown and he is hoping to race this year.

With the Grand Bend schedule being released the 9 hp & 6.5 hp classes being raced on different nights, the Rooterman race team will be racing at Chesterman's Indoor Track in Tillsonburg. Too bad, we enjoyed racing at Grand Bend the last 3 yrs. We're now looking forward to racing Saturdays until June, then Tuesday nights through September, then back to Saturdays. I would think we're not the only race team with this dilemma.

We may race the 440 on a limited schedule or we might sell the car.As I posted before, with the 9 horse and 6.5's racing on different nights makes it even harder to find time to run the 440. I don't know what their thinking was there with the schedule. I noticed the j cars pretty much run together on the same nights?

I think they are trying to shorten the race events to keep spectator's attention. Just my opinion.

25_JLM_13hp You may have to elaborate on this. There's no difference in the amount of time taken to put on a jcar race OR a microsprint race. I used to be skeptical about people saying there was favortism towards the j cars over the microsprints, but now it appears that way to me also. JUST MY OPINION.

Well, the way I understand it (correct me if I am wrong) is that in the past, the 6.5's and 9's usually ran on the same night, and this year they are placing them, for the most part, on different race days. I believe they are doing this to shorten up the night (1-2 less divisions on the average race night). Please let me know if I am wrong.

And about the alleged favoritism to the JCAR people: every time I talk to Brad at any length about the speedway, he ends up talking about the micros and the 9hp sprints more than anything else (including touring divisions, trucks, etc.)

I hear what you're saying but why just the microsprints, why not the jcars? I jsut don't see the difference between the two. Thanks Mike

Because basically every race the JLM/Mini-Trucks have off at GBS, we are racing somewhere with the traveling series. I compiled a schedule the other weekend, and from opening day to end season championships, if you run both series, you have three weekends off.
