Don't worry Posse is always welcome in Ohio. Everyone at all of these tracks will welcome DD, Stevie and any outsiders with open arms. We just want to see great racing each night and clear weather. I think it gets frustrating sometimes when we always here things like in a post earlier that said "he can easily win in Ohio and that its just the All Stars." Kind of makes it look like the Ohio local boys aren't anything. I won't deny that DD can win in Ohio, heck he can probably win anywhere but it certainly will not be "easy." Give our local guys like Craig Mintz, Chris Andrews, Dean Jacobs, Lee Jacobs, Travis Philo, Greg Wilson some credit. Everyone is tough on their own turf whether it be Posse, Ohio, Knoxville, or Cali. Nothing is easy especially when they go to Attica, Fremont, and Wayne County. Eldora I am going to give to Blaney or Haud, no denying they are the favorites. Attica and Fremont, Mintz and Blaney are the favoirtes, WCS Lee Jacobs.

And the same goes the other way. The Posse is extremely welcoming of visiting drivers and if you want to sell a bunch of T-Shirts run a couple of PA Speedweek shows. Brady Bacon, Trey Starks, Eric Riggins all have plenty of shirts running around here from running the Central PA circuit for a couple of weeks or during Speedweek.
Lee Jacobs may be good at WCS, but I'll take Palker. 99% chance he goes quick time and then rockets around the top into turn 1 from 6th to 1st in his heat.
Hopefully the CH 83 can find some speed, because if Stevie runs as well as Meyers has in that car and then jumps back in the Rahmer 51 and is a force the upcoming months and at Nationals, that car isn't going to have a good rep.
As of now, Alan Krimes is still planning on running the Jim Ford Classic. He quietly finished 3rd in that event last year.
Is it true that Dietrich is bringing in buddy Darren Molleynoux to Ohio and then back to PA or is Darren only running PA?

Meant to put Palker in for WCS as well, thanks for the reminder. Listening to Winged Nation yesterday and DD said that his buddy will be running Ohio. Not sure if he is running the full schedule but he will be there the first couple of nights for sure.
I think Stevie will get better in the 83 as the week goes on but as far as a win.....well I guess anything is possible.
I heard the Christopher Bell will be at speedweeks as well so things just got harder for everyone. Austin Wheatley is also coming out and going to try to run all of Ohio and PA speedweeks. Cudos to him too.
Don't sleep on Danny Holtgraver as well. Won the opening night a couple years ago at Attica.

A PA regular has as good a chance of winning in OH as an OH in PA. Very possible, just not a very good one. I'd say after Attica, Ohio held up their end of the bargain better than PA this year.

No reason to bust his balls for making a prediction like that. Although I think a top 3 would be a lofty goal, who remembers a green youngster named Kevin Gobrecht coming over to Attica and taking the money? (I hadn't even heard of him until the dash that night.) Also remember Stenhouse winning all those races one year and he probably hadn't seen a few of those tracks. It will be fun to see if anyone dominates or if there are some surprise winners.

I don't think the competition in OH was quite as good back then as it is today. I'm not saying they were pushovers. OH has always been a hotbed for 410's but it seems it is harder to win there now, espescially during speedweek when several big name outsiders usually come in to compete. Same way with knoxville, the regulars are tougher than ever.

Sounds like the Posse is cherrypicking again.
Wish Stevie Smith, 2009 and 2012 Ohio Speedweek champion, was running the 51 instead of being handicapped in the cursed buckeye 83 shtbox, but oh well.
Dietrich can easily win in Ohio. It's just the All Stars. The only real threat is whether or not they get paid.

Same shitbox team that won the Knoxville nationals a few years ago , no? I can't believe you , of all people, would rather see Stevie in a Chinese car.
