Now that Wiscasset Raceway entered its new era with a 50-lap Pro Stock feature last weekend in front of a packed house, the facility moves forward under watchful eyes this week.There were 18 Pro Stock teams present and accounted for on Saturday, with all but 1 taking the green flag in the feature. There will certainly not be that many there next time around.
Of those 17 teams in the main, 6 of them will be in Halifax, Nova Scotia this weekend for a 250-lap PASS North Series event. Of the 11 remaining teams, 2 are PASS Outlaw Late Model teams that aren't willing to commit to running weekly.
If only 9 Pro Stocks show up for another 50-lap feature this weekend, then Wiscasset is in the same single-digit category that shut the division down for the 1st time in 2004. And, one has to wonder, how many of those 800 or so people that filled the grandstands last weekend will be willing to come back to watch fewer cars than they can count on 2 hands?

I don't think it's just a Pro Stock thing, I think it's more of an atmospere thing. They are making it an event, something you can take your family to and enjoy. I think Doug has been a huge positive supporter of racing for so long that people will want to support him. Good luck to Doug and his team and see you next weekend.
Well the food was twice as good and half the price of OPS, and that can't hurt.
Lipstick on a pig.
Lets remember this deal is only one week old. Give it till next May and see what comes of it. I think you will see in the order of 15-17 weekly cars buy that time. With the LMS class in the same ball field Wiscasset will be a track to go have a good time at and see some good fast racing. All the improvements coming and more fans each week it will be a good year. Owners who care share their care with others. They will race there way and not Tell others how they should do it.
15-17 weekly cars?
That is considered a good field of Pro Stocks these days? Are we lowering our expectations a little bit or what?
I want to see more cars on the track. Late Models are close enough to pro stocks for my enjoyment so keep it all one class so I can actually watch a race for 10th place and not the last car running all alone in 10th place.
