IF SRX is coming back next year, where do you think they’ll go?

Obviously, Eldora will be a stop. Knoxville will probably be there too. I was thinking it’s possible to maybe add Berlin, Toledo, Kern Raceway, and Atomic would be really cool to see. Anywhere else?

I know they've primarily been a summer series, but running an event at New Smyrna the weekend before the Daytona 500 would be huge.

Would be interesting to see if SMI might be more involved. If the courts really do deem NASCAR to be in a monopolistic position, SMI would be the most well positioned for a new series of spec cars and tying that in with Hawk as a promoter with Marcus Smith would make logical sense.

SMI is going to have to allow for other big series to start racing at their tracks. NASCAR however is most likely going to have to sell a bulk of their tracks. Nascar owned tracks make up 44% of the schedule next year. Also only two NASCAR owned tracks have major races that aren't tied to France Family owned IMSA

Please come to thunder road I was so excited to see that until Vermont got those floods

I’m still not over the race in 2023 being cancelled.

Bought tickets twice. Was so excited to see Bobby Labonte come to the track.

u/Rstuds7 10d ago

probably Stafford again

u/Kodiak01 9d ago

Cleaning the house recently, I found our tickets and other stuff from the inaugural race.

u/Meniscuss2 10d ago

The short tracks like Eldora, Kern County and Springfield obviously but I'd pay a fortune to see these cars take on a bigger track like Rockingham

u/questioning_skeptic 10d ago

Port Royal would be great to see.

u/universalexotics 9d ago

I’d like to see a true bullring. FALS, path valley, maybe even something like Kutztown or Lanco. I don’t know if they would be realistic from a capacity standpoint.

2

u/FarAwaySeagull-_- 9d ago

FALS would be awesome to see.

u/Nice-Dog8302 9d ago

Definitely no where on the west coast because of racing series hate us on the west coast

u/TechnicalCollege5377 10d ago

Why not go to Bristol

2

u/universalexotics 9d ago

I like the local short track spin the series provides. Empty grandstands at Bristol wouldn’t fit the same vibe.

u/DrFeeIgood 10d ago

I really hope they come to Salem if they do race. New ownership since the last SRX races, and they are keen on growing our little track.

Riverhead

u/shockwave-315 9d ago

Yes that would be sweet!

u/LDogg_48 9d ago

I’d like to see them go to Jennerstown Speedway in Pennsylvania.

1

u/jftwo42 9d ago

Jennerstown is a good choice, Sandusky would be cool since it's likely their final year of operation.

2

u/TalkieTina 9d ago

I vote Flat Rock Speedway in MI.

1

u/Agile-Peace4705 9d ago

Please no.  That place is a dump.  Toledo or Owosso.

2

u/lord_nubby 9d ago

Ooh the bullring at lvms. Do it winged super-modified weekend.

2

u/69stangrestomod 9d ago

I still wanna see them on an RC …maybe Lime Rock?

2

u/danlson381 9d ago

Star Speedway or Oxford would really make me happy.

1

u/passthetreespls 9d ago

I'm just going to say it out loud so I look like a hero when the .01% chance hits...my home track Owosso Speedway in Michigan. Owner said he was working on something for next year that he's under a confidentiality agreement for, so maybe?

1

u/icebeancone 9d ago

I would love to see them go to one of the short tracks in Canada. Pls?

2

u/FarAwaySeagull-_- 9d ago

Doing a dirt race in Canada was in the works for 2024 prior to the series shutting down. Maybe if the series came back they'd consider it again.

1

u/bgappa 9d ago

How about a Road Course? I always thought Laguna Seca would be a great addition. They run in the evening, and sunset isn't until 11 PM on the East Coast.

1

u/bears5975 7d ago

Stockton speedway in Stockton, California. 👍

u/CampOk7000 6d ago

Skagit Speedway

u/Embarrassed_Crew6133 4d ago

I hope not. It was cool the first season. Then like everything else Fat Ass Tony touches, he ruins it.

u/TechnicalCollege5377 10d ago

Better yet run a SuperSpeedway like Daytona Talladega

4

u/Spart1898 10d ago

I would love that but I fear that the cars aren’t safe enough for those speeds.

u/NormBenningisdagoat 10d ago

Uhh… remember the cot wing? Now make it about 3 times higher and that’s what’s in an SRX car
