TUESDAY MORNING THOUGHTS: East Bay, Ocala, & Volusia

Some random thoughts from the last few days of racing in Florida...

1.  Car counts everywhere have taken a huge hit.  With Ocala averaging roughly 40 per night - and less than that at East Bay - is it time for these two tracks to put their egos aside and start working together?  I think so but, as one twitter follower pointed out, the current situation does allow for more drivers to take home money.  

2.  Josh Richards is fast.  Damn fast.  And he will be the driver to beat on the WoO circuit this year.

3.  DirtonDirt's broadcast last night at Volusia was absolutely off the chart.  From the camera angles to the live driver interviews, they have raised an exceptionally high bar for the world of online PPV broadcasts.  Kudos to everyone involved.

4.  Nice to see Earl Pearson Jr. get back on the winning track.  

5.  Has anyone else noticed that Billy Moyer seems to be struggling right now?  He has just one top five run in six starts and, while that may not be a big deal to most, it's down right shocking considering he's one of the winningest drivers in GA/FL Speedweeks history. 

6.  There were six features at East Bay and only three (official) lead changes.  

7.  Was anybody else surprised to see Vic Coffey stay at East Bay and not head to Ocala?  I was.
