anywhere.

Me.

I am going to hold off until the World of Outlaws are there.

Ummm??......Tony Stewart is #14 these days......just sayin'

come on sprintfanatic - it's going to be a high quality field and plenty of em - if the track conditions are good then the show will be great.

Maybe the dynamic is different in other areas, but a lot of the time you don't really know who and how many will be at any one event. Sure, you can garner an idea - but when a place is able to tell you they already have 30 registered and that number is likely to rise each day leading up to the event - thats pretty cool. They could well roll out there with 40+ cars - it's not like they are THAT much slower than 410's. I know some have their preferences - but the difference between 410's and 360's is less than it has ever been. Only time I've seen both is at Knoxville during the 360 Nationals. In the end I just enjoyed some high speed wheel to wheel sprint car racing. But I don't profess to speak for everyone or proclaim what people "should" like - only to say that personally - I don't care whether it's 410's, 360's, 305's, or 600cc mini sprints.........I just want it to be a good, racy track and a well ran show. In fact, the majority of good racing I have seen/followed/covered in the past two years has been in the mini sprint ranks between ASCS2 shows and Port City Raceway shows.

I hope you find a way to make both Eagle's WoO show and this weekend's ASCS Midwest event, or at least consider it. If not, I hope you enjoy your weekend anyhow.

@ Eagle Shack Pit Guy - thank you for putting this list up. Was able to lightly mention the pre-registered list in the ASCS Midwest preview. It's a great piece of information for everyone. I think you guys will have a great turnout, and probably live up to its' billing as well. Forecast here in Oklahoma has it pretty chilly friday night - and I'm sure the cool air is coming from your direction. But that's spring time racing. A hoodie and gloves should suffice.

We had an ASCS2 mini sprint weekend at Cowtown back in February - and what was a very mild winter in this region wasn't so on that weekend. Friday was cold enough, but saturday's high hardly made it above freezing. I know the wind chill values were in the teens about an hour after the race started. I've been to a lot of races in the past 12 years - that was definitely the coldest, and just bad luck, as a majority of the winter weekends leading up to our opener at Cowtown were fairly mild. windy for sure - but still much warmer than that weekend. Pretty sure most of the cold races I go to from here on will pale in comparison to that weekend. bring it on I say lol.

I hope everyone has a good time at what should be a fantastic weekend of sprint car racing.

I'm with you sprintfanatic! The WoO show will be my first trip to Eagle, really looking forward to it.

You are more than welcome OKC. I've been jonesin' for quite awhile now to see some racing on the high banks, so this weekend has come none too soon!!!

Hope to see a bunch of you out there.

Latest word from IB Rac'n is, Aussie Chad Ely will be driving the Gary Swenson 24b this weekend......Ely is coming off a 2nd Place finish in last Saturday's Speedway Motors ASCS Warrior Region A main event in Grain Valley, Mo. behind Jonathan Cornell and ahead of Brian Brown.....Should be a good 2 night show this weekend........then WOO next Friday, the ASCS Lucas Oil Natl tour in June, and USAC non winged in August...........plus 360's every Saturday night......lookin' forward to a great season.....................see ya' there.

Shooold be a good shower this week or maybe snow!

27)TONY STEWART #20 SURPRISE!!!!!

Tony will be 20th in the #14 sprint!

Sprints rule

EPSG, any insight on what they are prepping for Sat. night? It got some pretty good press from LJS. Could be a huge crowd. Weather looks flipping perfect for Saturday. No rain in sight and dry enough that they are running practice tonight it sounds like!

Getting ready for some darned good racing and a REALLY large crowd. I can't wait!!!

Logan Forler in the house tonight for practice. Should be a full house at Eagle this weekend. Can`t wait!!!

Hope they haven't been advertising Tony Stewart for tonight. According to WoO website he is at Sedalia
