Run the race @ Loudon in October after the World Series at Thompson. Make it 250 laps with a $200,000 purse. Bring back the real ROC, if it can be done.
I agree it can be done, but late October in New England is just a little cold to attempt a race this big. it is time for a big season ending race somewhere, under some name, whether its R.O.C. or something else. I saw every R.O.C. at Pocono from 82-91, and all 4 at Flemington 92-95. Only been to one at Oswego in 2005, and its a damn shame what this race has turned it too.
We need a BIG race that EVERY modified driver wants to win. Whether its at Thompson, Stafford, Loudon, or somewhere else, it needs to be done. Every major short track division has a race that is far and away the biggest race of the year. The Outlaws have the Knoxville Nationals, Dirt Mods have Syracuse, Super Late Models have the World 100, Midgets have the Chili Bowl, etc. Do we need it? YES. Will it happen? Sadly, probably not.
I Love The Modifieds!!!!!
