Re: Thoughts on Jegs All Stars...
Maybe make it in a different division each year. That would be fair. If you don’t want to go then the next person in line gets the spot. Don’t the contestants get some travel money to attend.

Re: Thoughts on Jegs All Stars...
I'm sure Keith or Austin can chime in on this as I know Keith has been to Chicago & Indy but, I don't think the travel money is much. Different divisions would be cool but, think the distance might be a little too much for some guys, Definity would be a bucket list for many, D6 going out to Epping or D1 going to Sonoma.

Re: Thoughts on Jegs All Stars...
The Jeg’s All Stars taking place in Ennis might go down in history as one of the worst decisions that can be made!
We love the Meyer family, but those pits are just the worst! Unless there is a resurfacing in the plans, just an awful decision!

Re: Thoughts on Jegs All Stars...
Works for me. It either needs to be at Ennis or Topeka to be central for most of the country. Just curious how many of you folks that are doing the griping have actually been there for that race. It’s been years for us but the 28hrs from San Antonio sucked. I can’t imagine coming from California or south Florida. Should have been placed more central years ago

Re: Thoughts on Jegs All Stars...
Lets see
San Francisco to Joliet 2108 miles New York to Joliet 802 miles San Francisco to Indy 2258 miles New York to Indy 709 miles San Francisco to Dallas 1733 miles New York to Dallas 1537 miles the farthest from both coast Seattle to Dallas 2107 miles Maine to Dallas 2000 miles There is nothing central about Indy or Joliet, the west coast racers have been traveling 2x the distance as the east coast racers for years. Dallas is about a perfect central location and the west coast racers will still have a 10% longer drive Last edited by pro7474; 12-21-2022 at 12:29 AM. |

The pits are better in St Louis and Topeka. Topeka in the fall was a good race.

Re: Thoughts on Jegs All Stars...
Jegs All Star Race should be a 4 day race in Topeka on Memorial Day weekend. That is the weekend Topeka was on for years. Centrally located, huge tech buildings for tear down, all cement parking. Memorial Day gives racers a travel day back home and/or a rain date.
