If anyone can get the story for us, it's you Skippy. You have all FACTS and can the TRUTH that the rest of us can't handle. 

The good Lord knows the drivers are waiting for you with baited breath to give you the story. 

The sad part is you just don't get how much of a boob you are

Why, because the fast guys actually have to earn their way into the feature vs starting at the front of the heat races, and run away with the win, like in the regular WoO format? 

The two reasons I dislike the WoO are 1) Johhny Gibson and 2) Their format

Heaven forbid Gravel, Macedo, etc might have to actually race their way through their heat races to make the feature.

I like the format, but then again, I like to see sprint cars have to earn their way into a feature.

That must be the reason for the low attendance at the Royal!

I must be watching a different race.  Seems like I remember the 31st thru 36th fastest qualifier getting the pole for their heat race with the top 3 from each heat making the Royal.  How in God's green !@#%ing earth is that not giving someone something?   You just gave each of those drivers a spot in one of the highest paying races of the year.  GAVE.  Ridiculous.  

If any race starts with a driver saying "boy, I hope I'm 31st-36th fastest tonight" the format sucks.  Period. 

Brad, Brad, Brad

After this next 15 minute shower it's all good for sure.  Hang on to your canopy!!!!!

A glancing blow it was!!!!   Enjoy the shows.  

Excuse me. I speak jive. I think I can translate what he's trying to say...

You have to be a WoO Platinum member to be allowed to have your merchandise trailer at a WoO show. Since the High Limit guys opted out on that, their revenues would take a hit if they raced there. Eldora may have different rules that allow all racers to have merchandise trailers there. Cut me some slack, Jack. Jive-ass ain't got no brains anyhow. 

You are correct. The Eldora races are non point races I believe, so that is a loop hole to allow all drivers to have their souvenir trailers there. Just like Knoxville and Husets. As far as HL guys not racing Attica I think it is just a simple thing as choice. They don't have to and probably more focused on Eldora.

Maybe you're too young to get the reference. Google Airplane! Jive scene.

Outlaw sweep night 1

great racing

That first Main was excellent ! 

The older I get the faster I was.
All of my hard lessons have been learned at the speed of 
pain...

Brad, Brad, Brad!

Scelzi- Schuhart Romp HL

woo 2

HL 0

Ascot was the greatest of all time..

West Capital wasn't half bad either..

Life is good...

IDK if Knoxville is the exception but multiple HL and NON WOO guys were on the fairgrounds selling tee shirts for the 2 - day show. 

Keep It Real

I couldnt agree more. Formats make big shows, and IMO the entire 4 day show at Eldora is somewhat lessened by the format. I could care less about WoO v HL. I am just enjoying watching all the guys come together for a big show. The fans are winning, who cares about where dudes come from. I have never been a fan of big inverts. Especially when qualyfing is so heavy on points and important. So you qualify very good, congrats, now go sit behind 8-9 other cars that are .3 slower than you and have fun trying to make that up in dirty air and without wrecking your equipment driving your arse off on the first lap.

Races last night were fantastic! Doty should pay a few more dollars that way it would draw a few more outsiders coming in for the Big E races and this HL vs Woo pick 1 is a flipping joke I mean for cryin out loud the WOO and Lucas Late models have co-existed and worked together for years now just my thoughts!!!  

Everyone wins when the best show up. Last nights format saw 48 drivers getting a check. Great promtion HL vs WOO but both series have about same quality of drivers at the top. In my opinion HL has a little better roster when Kyle races but WOO has some names  equal just not as deep.

Give it some time and the 2 series will co-exist better. As far as the Doty goes it reminds me of the Iron Man at I55. The Doty does pay 15k to win on a Tuesday night and draws a Huge crowd and upper 40 cars every year. It will be hard to ask a track/promotors to do much different when you get that kind of turn out. I have always felt the Iron Man scheduled against the 360 Nationals weekend was terrible, but always got a nice crowd on Friday and big crowd on Saturday. Car counts between 28 and 39 (record for this race). I always felt they should move it and maybe make it a crown jewel type of event, but when tracks/promoters are getting what they want not going to change. If it ain't broke, no need to make it better. It finally got a purse increase this year for both nights.

Knoxville has a great format. I dont agree with inverting 8 as I think 6 is enough, esp when everyone is so close now days. Kings Royal format and anytime you see spinning wheels -- just tells you the format is dumb. or hokey.  At least with Knoxville you can add points up for straight up starting on Saturday.  Not some wheel. Or other crap.  That shit gets in the way of things like quick time.  If you want all that stuff, then go ahead and pull starting positions for the heat at registration adn build in passing points.  Scrap qualyfing.
