June 20, 20214 yr Superstar Racing Experience. Anyone watching this? I just found out about it last week and recorded the dirt race at Knoxville. It's a lot like IROC (identical cars) but all short track and they change the racing surface each week. Drivers are all famous racers from varied series. I enjoyed the hell out of it. Only a 6 race season. 2 down, 4 to go. https://www.cbssports.com/motor-sports/news/superstar-racing-experience-cbs-sports-announces-broadcasting-teams-for-inaugural-srx-season/
June 29, 20214 yr Here's link to a comprehensive article about the series to this point for anyone who hasn't been paying attention to it yet.
July 1, 20214 yr I have enjoyed the heck out of it. Lot of action and bumper to bumper racing. Has been far more entertaining than i thought Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
July 4, 20214 yr Another bumping and banging race. Hope this stays. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
July 4, 20214 yr Author Wow, just a great race. The ratings have been great so far. Pretty sure we'll see it next year. Huge tip of the hat to Allen Bestwick. He is by far my favorite racing announcer. Been a fan since he hosted Inside Winston Cup on Speedvision. That show was wheels off fun.

(Have missed the last 2 races, so this may have happened earlier). She is worthless and doesn't even know the terminology.

July 11, 20214 yr Yeah, that was a blast. Paul Tracy is such a tittybaby - I love it. Really good "casting" to invite such an obvious and natural heel.
July 17, 20214 yr Finale tonight. Chase will be racing versus his dad also Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
July 17, 20214 yr It's possible that Bill may be slightly more competitive tonight than he has been thus far.
July 18, 20214 yr Boy, Oates looks like he's had just about every kind of plastic surgery imaginable.
July 18, 20214 yr Anyone else wonder whether Bill's car might have been juiced up a little? He ran much better than in any of the previous five events.

His car has been shit all season so they gave him pick of the litter (so to speak), then Smoke swapped starting positions to put him in P2. I don't have a problem with any of it. We saw some epic short track racing and I was highly entertained. Edited July 18, 20214 yr by RPM
July 18, 20214 yr Oh, don't get me wrong - I'd be okay with it if they had given him another 50hp. This was just supposed to be fun, and it sure was. Felt bad that Willy T. crashed out. He seemed pretty discouraged during his final interview. I enjoyed getting to know him these past six weeks.

July 18, 20214 yr Author All said and done, I thoroughly enjoyed this SRX season and look forward to an expanded schedule next year. This is fun racing and that's what racing is all about.
July 18, 20214 yr Wasn't Mark Webber originally supposed to be in this? Anyone know why that didn't happen? I hope he can make it work next summer. I'd also like to see JPM give this a shot. Mark Martin too, but I think I remember reading somewhere that he doesn't miss racing one bit.
July 18, 20214 yr Loved this. Missed the iroc series. Close racing, door to door. Bumpers being used. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk Yeah, these cars were pretty eggshell as far as rubbing was concerned. I was expecting a bit sturdier front bumper, but guess that keeps 'em from killing Paul Tracy or vice-versa.
June 18, 20223 yr Author SRX Season 2 starts tonight @ 7:00 on CBS. Saturday night short track, ya'll!
June 19, 20223 yr Like this year driver line up alot more than last year. Id almost like to see them throw in a sprint car 405 event or stock race. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
July 17, 20223 yr Author I love everything about this series except for Willy T Ribbs. He is a beating. The man was not meant to be a TV guy. Was cool Al Unser, Jr texted he wanted to join next year. Would be a nice connection from IROC days.

Interesting crowd, for sure, but some of the best racing you'll ever see, esp the sprint cars & mods on dirt. Too bad H & Mary Ann lost the asphalt oval Thunder Hill in Kyle, but we still have great dirt tracks reasonably close in Paige (Cotton Bowl, owned by H & Mary Ann) and Heart of Texas near Waco.

I'd love to see that, too, but I fear someone would get killt. It would certainly be revealing though. If you can be quick in a sprint car, you can probably drive got-damn near anything out there.

The cheaper the cars, the better the racing. Edited July 17, 20223 yr by RPM
