I'm not sure what to make of the Pro Stock meeting that's going to take place at Wiscasset Raceway on Wednesday.On one hand, we're led to believe there will easily be 15-18 teams showing up to express interest in running the division at the track. On the other, it's hard to imagine more than 10-12 actually commit to the weekly series.
It was supposed to be a meeting that would gauge interest from area competitors regarding the return of Pro Stock racing to the track. Instead, given new owner Doug White's gung-ho attitude regarding all things Wiscasset Raceway, the meeting seems to be nothing more than a marketing tool aimed at selling the division to the track's competitors.
After all, White already has a sponsor for the division in Clark's Car Crushing and a date for the first race (Aug. 4). What's left? How many laps to run?
I won't be at the meeting -- I'm fishing out of a tent site on Rangeley Lake for a couple of days...
I'll be interested to see who was there and how real the commitments are. Even still, the people who do show up are the ones that are for the division's reinstatement -- what about the voice of the opposition. Believe it or not, I've already heard from those who are against the Pro Stocks' imminent return.

Just based on the title and content of your blog entry,I guess that it's quite evident that you've taken a side .
Quite the contrary. In fact, I believe the blog simply pointed out that I'd be interested to see what reaction there is to the division's return.

There's a group of people with deep pockets, tons of expensive equipment, and a hatred of Late Models that will do anything to keep Pro Stock racing alive.
I love that the Wiscasset site itself uses the term ressurected for the Pro Stock division.
Too bad. The move to Pro Stocks will probably bury the track once and for all.
Well put.
