SST Announces Changes To The 2013 Schedule
SPEED ENERGY STADIUM SUPER TRUCKS™ SERIES ANNOUNCES CHANGES TO 2013 SCHEDULE
CHARLOTTE, NC (June 18, 2013) – Robby Gordon OFF ROAD™ announced today that its Stadium SUPER Trucks™ Series (SST) will make venue and schedule changes that will alter the remainder of its 2013 schedule. Included is the addition of an SST event July 13 and 14 in Toronto.
According to series founder Robby Gordon, administering the first six races of the season in a span of only nine weeks was a difficult but rewarding challenge for the Stadium SUPER Trucks Series workers and crew.
“With such an immense undertaking in staging huge events like this around the country, and running six races in nine weeks, the schedule didn’t always allow us to optimize event preparation and race vehicle maintenance,”
Gordon said.
“We learned a lot that will help us continue to bring the most exciting brand of motorsports to racing fans everywhere. The improvements in our schedule for 2013 will enhance our program by helping us build our brand and position SST for a great 2014 season and beyond.”
New venues include 2 races in Toronto July 13-14 in conjunction with the IndyCar Series; Chicagoland Speedway July 19-20; and Crandon (WI) International Off Road Raceway August 30-Sept.1.
More details on the SST race at Toronto will be released later this week.
Removed from the original schedule are Chicago’s Soldier Field (June 22); Atlanta’s Georgia Dome (July 6); Dallas Cowboys Stadium (July 13); and the Minneapolis Metrodome (July 20).
The series is expected to announce in the coming weeks two additional events west of the Rockies for September and another in October.
SPEED Energy Stadium SUPER Trucks opened its season in Glendale, Ariz., on April 6th, and recently completed five more races over the following nine-week period that included the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach, the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, two events at San Diego’s Qualcomm Stadium, and the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis.

i think the landfill might have moved in on that since it was pretty much next to it

The second track in Chula Vista with the big downhill dropoff would be fun to see. Pretty short track. They did Trophy Carts there, but Big Foot not so much. Was called the Quarry. (Spelled correctly I don't know). Jim Baldwin's deal. The first track property was sold I believe.

"How about Oakland/Alameda?" Nope. Just not enough people in NorCal to support a race like this. Vorra has been having short course races outside of Sacramento for 20+ years. I bet there aren't 2 dozen true spectators at their races. All the people are with someone racing. Did M/T ever have any of his races up here? I don't think so, but if he did I would guess it was a one time deal.
I lived in Carlsbad for most of my life before moving to Elk Grove 15 years ago. When I was down South I was all over Southern California everyday. I would see a couple of nice prerunners an hour or at least "want to be" prerunners. Up here in the Sacramento area it is one every 2 or 3 months.
There are lots of racers and fans in Central and Northern California, but they like circle tracks. Off the top of my head I can think of at at least 15 circle tracks that race every Saturday night

Great questions...I wondering the same thing. Also, what about the monster trucks? No more stadiums? Will Rob Mac still get his 500k?

im pretty bummed about all these posts since its not clear to me what the facts are. but im sure glad i got to take my daughter to meet Robby in San Diego both events were awesome and i hadn't had that much fun in awhile. yea when i go help buddies racing its fun and all but you see your truck once every hour on a loop race or just once period. sst is action packed and there was soo much racing action going on it was incredible. man i just cant believe more people aren't all over it.my daughter loved and and i guarantee you she will never forget it specially since shelby anderson gave her her prize traxxas hopefully we see sst in sandiego again.
