The past how many years the NRA's have raced both friday and saturday as support division. I don't believe the 360's are there on saturday night this year. Who is going to be there instead? The e-mods? The bombers? Or are they just running a 410 show which would be very suprising. I sure wish elodra would keep it the same with 410's and 360's only every year.

Actually I wouldnt mind seeing mods one night and stocks another. With wing sprints on both nights really pack the track down. And since Earl isnt around to work the track up after friday's night show, they should run a Mod or Stock. JMO

I don't care which other divisions they run, but they need to start later to help save the track. From the schedule, it appears 410's only Saturday night.
Hotlaps @ 6 in western OH in July is ridiculous!

I would rather save the track and just run the Kings Royal. I hope they run this year's format like a typical Outlaw race. Last year they had six heat races and only six in the dash. It would be great to see Sammy Swindell return this year!
They did say on the PA that Donny Schatz is going to run the 360 race on Tuesday of Kings Royal week. Wonder if any other Outlaws/All Stars will run that event.

Eldora 2287 ft/.43mile T3=135MPH
Port 2716 ft/.51 mile T3=TBD
Grove 2792 ft/.53 mile T3=135MPH
Selinsgrove 2847 ft/.54 mile T1=136MPH

Sunset here in Ohio on the night of the Royal will be just after 9pm. I know all of us diehards wouldn't mind, but do you really think EVEYRONE wants to wait that late?

I have a better idea. Why not actually WORK THE TRACK? Start on Monday and dig the SOB up (not scratch the surface) and water it, then run it in. Then repeat.....then repeat......then repeat.........Get the idea?
Quit dicking around and scratching the surface and inch deep the day of the race, then watering it, watching it all run off. Then stand around on Saturday night scratching your heads wondering WTF went wrong. Quit being scared of having a rough or God forbid even a fast track and do it right the first time.
Last but not least. Will someone PLEASE sneak in with a cutting torch and cut the hitch off the f***ing sheepsfoot? I'll pay anyone here $100 to do it!

I am thinking I will pass it up this year, I for one look forward to the 360s, two if im going to travel 8 hours I want to see as much sprint car racing as possible at the track and three I've been there the last 4-5 years and I'm not so sure I see what all the hype is about I mean the WoOs top times this weekend were mid 13's, at home (Knoxville) our local boys are timing in high 14s on a good track (and the track is much bigger). Maybe I missed the boat on what the Eldora experience was about after they tamed the track down and with out the 360s it's just that much less racing. My first trip there was the Million and it was an incredible show after that it was good but nothing to write home about. The camping & people would be the factor to make me want to go this year with them removing the other sprint car series as support. Decisions Decisions.....

I know greg wilson said he was going to race on tuesday night and lee stark was going to also. It'll be interesting to see who is there.
