Okay. So this is hard to admit, but here it goes...
I've taken way too many steps away from this blog. In 2012, after the death of my grandmother. After many jobs that I had to work Friday nights without coverage.
And I feel sorry.
But I also want to start fresh.
So I'll be posting some unbiased coverage. I'll post biased coverage. Doesn't matter. I have to get back into the swing of things.
I'm back. And better than ever.
VFT1 and the October 2024 Road Trip (cc: @NASCAR Teams)
Back in February of this year, around the time of the Daytona 500, we had looked upon NASCAR's schedule and got to thinking: We really hadn't been able to reschedule our previous attempt at going to Las Vegas Motor Speedway for the fall NASCAR Cup Series race from a few years ago. Then it dawned on us.
20 October 2024 is the blog owner's 37th birthday. It falls on a Sunday. What perfect timing it would be to spend the day watching a day of auto racing from the comfort of the west coast, beginning the Round of 8. We've gotten as far as buying a ticket for the event in question, and beginning the process of getting a room and flight booked.
But we're thinking a little more should be done, yes?
This is where the proposition comes into play.
(Stafford Springs, CT)—The SRX Racing Series will return to Stafford Speedway for the 5th time next July. Stafford Speedway and SRX official
Feels like a compact disc repeating the same song, but the song is pretty cool to begin with...
We've been posting this video around (yes, it's via way of our cell phone), and for good reason: We were able to get a little garage access for Stafford 2 back on Thursday. But, unfortunately, we weren't able to get much in terms of content. Enjoy the quick under-10 second video of some of the cars that were on track for the race.
From tonight's SK Lights feature. Thought that we weren't going to finish it. We eventually did get the feature completed.
We returned to the track tonight for the SK Light Double Down race... Very uneventful evening, in our honest opinions, but very eventful early action in the main event (until everything got under control). Here's the false start from said Double Down event, courtesy of the blog admin through Instagram.
Thinking we might take a little road trip down south in a few weeks, but we're not sure yet. Want to take a guess where to? It all depends on mood.
From this past Friday night's (see also: 19 May) Call Before You Dig Open Modified 81 program. Enjoy the sounds of the cars passing by my phone as I recorded the start of the 81-lap main event.
Impromptu trips are always fun, I think. I might (or might not) be at SMS this upcoming Friday for the 40-lap SK Light "double down", as the track calls it. But I'm not quite sure on that yet. Stay tuned to the blog's socials.
(Stafford Springs, CT)—Superstar Racing Experience officials have announced their 2023 season schedule and for the 3rd consecutive season wi
Here we go again.
When it was announced that ESPN would have airing rights to the Superstar Racing Experience in 2023, and would be moving from the weekend to Thursday nights, I admit to having a bit of a mixed reaction. It's good that it's being moved to a sports network, but I wasn't too sure about the Thursday night concept. I mean, ESPN knows what they're doing. SRX knows what they're doing, too... Right?
“Good to the last drop. @TyGibbs | @JoeGibbsRacing”
We at The View From Turn One will reserve judgment on this. Judgment that, given our need to be as non-biased as possible, needs to be postponed until the offseason.
There were extensive boos from the crowd at Phoenix tonight, though... Kind of makes us think if the judgment should be done this weekend.
So, this happened tonight at the close of the second day of the Spring Sizzler. Matt Hirschman was probably the obvious pick to win the open Modified race today, earning the right to race with the SRX drivers in July's return appearance to Stafford.
Can he pull a Doug Coby and beat the SRX drivers? We'll find out in a few months.
I just signed up for the updates today. But Formula 1 is going to be returning to Las Vegas in November of 2023. From a press release posted on the organization's site yesterday:
The world-famous neon lights of Las Vegas will provide the backdrop to Formula 1’s newest race when the American city hosts a night event from 2023. The Las Vegas Grand Prix will take place on a Saturday next November and be one of three races in the United States, joining Miami and Austin.
They did not give a specific date yet, but it will be late in the 2023 season. And they confirmed COTA (on the schedule for years as the only US-based race) and Miami (on 2022's schedule) will remain.
The track will include the famous Las Vegas strip, which will actually be closed off for a full weekend. F1 drivers will race past some of the most famous casinos in the world. Any race that actually goes by the FOUNTAINS OF BELLAGIO? I'm in.
Tell me when tickets are on sale, and I'm buying.
Spring Cleaning
I went ahead and did some miniature renovations to the blog.
Mainly what I did was took out the origins page, because I think I've lost all way of getting access to it. The rosters have been updated to reflect what's going on for this upcoming season. And my "events attending" page will be updated when I find an event and purchase tickets for it - which reminded me to reveal that VFT1 will be making the voyage up for the SRX race in July.
SRX Returns in 2022...
The hottest event in town from 2021 is returning to Stafford in 2022.
Untold: Crime & Penalties Review
On August 31, 2021, Netflix dropped the latest documentary in the Untold series. It has everything to do with Jimmy Galante, a trash mogul who bought his son AJ a hockey team before the 2004-05 UHL season.
“Introducing the.... Camping World SRX Series! @CampingWorld”
Well, it’s official. The promotion known as Superstar Racing Experience got commercialized today. I’m not surprised about just what company decided to get their hands all over this one.
Amateur All-Star Reveal
Earlier today (read as "this morning"), the Superstar Racing Experience announced a list of special drivers who, in their terms, were "amateur all-stars" for 99 percent of the tracks that they're scheduled for - Stafford included. For some reason, discussing this with other members of the VFT1 headquarters household... It wasn't what was expected.
