I was there for 5 out of the 9 nights (not including the rainout at 1st Lincoln show). Here my thoughts. - Had nice car count most of the night. Was at 1st Port Royal with 39 cars. Also has finale at Selinsgrove with field of 23. Selinsgrove always get the short end of the stick with few full timers dropping out (ex, Norris was tired, Freddie Rahmer had a B-Main wreck 51 car at 1st Port Royal and missed 2nd Port Royal and Selinsgrove, but ran other nights in the Eichelberger 8, Reinhart was down motor, etc). Selinsgrove will have a nice car count in Oct when the Outlaws go there for 2 days (thinking 30-36 cars). -Crowd was good. While they were not 90%-95% full most nights, every track had a nice crowd. - Most shows were done at a solid hour as most of the time, the 410s were done by 10-10:30pm. - Saw a great battle for the title which Macri rebounded to win the title. - Didn't see a lot of invaders (had Spencer Bayston, Brent Marks, Jacob Allen ran at least 1, with Logan Schuchart & Brock Zearfoss use relax Outlaw rule fo that week to hit a few shows). As a result, most of the top prize money went to PA/local teams. -Fans still came out despite high heat and humidity for the races, which normally not there for weekly shows. Including Hagerstown despite a rain-soaked surface that made the track unusual fast. Overall, it was a successful week as I am looking forward to doing it all again next year.
Awsome rundown chase. Purse money i think helped the turnout and also car count. I went down to williams grove friday for the first night and it was packed. Nice weather in the mid 70s. Watched every night on streams and saw just about the same everywhere. Rest of the week got warm tho with this friday thru sunday being 85 or higher and 60-90% humidity. The 2nd williams grove night was miserable and even macri said it in the post race. 99% humidity after the sun went down and 80 at 10pm. Tis the season tho. The temps i think helped with the low car count on sunday. *edit* im about 50 miles north of most tracks. 25 miles from Selinsgrove. Weather is almost the same here.
High Limit has 4 races at Port Royal (5 but 1 was rained out) Grandview had one. There are also 2 races at Lernerville later in the year. Lincoln, BAPS, Williams Grove and Selinsgrove have Outlaws this year, and not many tracks are running both High Limit and Outlaws I'm quite certain High Limit would love some races at those tracks too, but it was pretty much not possible for 2024.
A few notes from a Posseland fan: 1. The points fund is contingent on running all 10 races per the website, so having a rainout on Day 2 probably hurt car count a bit 2. Selinsgrove is rumoured to have a problem with actually paying out, so that's probably a noticeable contributor to the low car count there
There was an issue with a 3rd party company that was handling payouts that started these rumors at Selinsgrove. Drivers now get paid in cash so I don’t think this is a problem anymore? Selinsgrove always has a hard time drawing cars because of the last day on the schedule. Back in 2020 when they were on the first Sunday they had 33. I really would like to see the schedule rotate on a yearly basis to help car counts at tracks that aren’t “the big 3”.
@@Tyler80 33 in 2020 was exception due to tracks just open up a few weeks from the Covid shutdown at the time, so teams were super fresh compared to a normal year. Also, it was the last year before Baps was added to the Speedweek schedule.
Did macri run all of the shows, if he didn't dietrich should get extra money for being highest up in points with a top 10 finish in every feature according to pa speedweek website
@@sweetdaddydee1314 it says that a driver who has 10 top 10 finishes will get a 5000 dollar bonus and if multiple drivers did it then whoever is highest in the standings gets the 5 grand, i know dietrich ran all the races but i don't think macri did
