Grove may draw 40 but see no chance of 50 alot of the 36 that were there for the Yellow Breaches will not run time trial races and the All Stars are down to about 13 or 14 with no Kinser and no Grove 70.

Word was that Wolf was going to Port as the Lincoln show only pays more to winner and rest is a normal payout with handicapping and no time trials.

Nothing against Massey but I wish Tom Buch would put someone like the Wild Child in the car Deitrich didnt look real bad in Florida and others have done ok in the past.

Still will be surprised if Dewease dont win at least one and probably two.

Monteith would go to Lincoln even if he lived in Port Royal borough.

There are 17 Full time Allstars this year. Chad Kemenah, Caleb Armstrong, Caleb Helms, Ryan Smith, Max Stambaugh, TJ Michael, Brandon Matus, Brent Matus, John Garvin Jr., Ryan Linder, Bradley Howard, Travis Esh, Brandon Spithaler, Roger Campbell, Hunter Mackison, Jordan Mackison, and Dane Lorenc. Lorenc's first appearance was Wayne Co this weekend but the rest have been to all events excluding the Florida shows. Grove's 70 that for some reason he signed up is AWOL, and Kinser went WoO.

No self shame here. I'm proud of our local racers, I'm proud of the tracks we have, and I'm proud of the 95% of Pa fans who are some of the best fans in all of sprint car racing. While I'm not a fan of the other 5% who think that sprint car racing begins and ends with Central PA and thump their chests loud and obnoxiously to the point of ridiculousness about all things Posse while ignoring the fact that outside of Central PA, our racers are average at best and while I do love when someone outside of Central PA pisses in their Posse Wheaties by winning against our guys our home turf, that's not the reason why I want to see the ASCoC end the losing streak at Williams Grove. Growing up in the 1990's, the All Stars were my favorite group of racers anywhere. I was much more excited when they came to Pa than when the WoO were here. I loved the drivers: Kenny Jacobs, Dale Blaney, Kevin Huntley, Frankie Kerr, Joey Saldana, Dean Jacobs, Danny Smith, Daniel Coggeshell (he tore up a lot of equipment but man was he fun to watch!) Rocky Hodges, Van Gurley Jr., Tim Engler and of course 2 of Central PA's own Jeff Shepard and Keith Kauffman who both had stints with them back then. I especially loved their cars: Hughes 94, Shoff 23s, ConnWest 1W, United Expresslines U2, Holbrook 8H, Lindsay 2D, Ashworth 92, Wendt 77 and one of my favorite cars of any era, the Frigidaire 1F just to name a few. The All Stars lack of wins in our area at their own events is remarkable considering guys like Kenny Jacobs, Frankie Kerr, Jeff Shepard and Keith Kauffman all ran Central PA as regulars at various points throughout their careers and won many races at all of the area Speedways. You would've thought that they would score some as All Star members too but it didn't happen. Regardless, I've basically always been an All Star fan and even through the terrible stretch under the direction of Guy Webb, I always liked them so I'd love to see them finally break through at Williams Grove and it has very little to do with shutting up the Posse chest thumpers even though that would be a bonus. Of course nothing really shuts them up anyway because they just make excuses or look for some fringe connection that particular driver has to Central PA through a crew member, engine builder or whatever else. On another note, I would like to see Dale Blaney get a win at Williams Grove as well whether it's this week or whenever. Hard to believe he's never won there and I know he wants to get one of those checkered flags as much as he wants anything. I think this year is the year it will finally happen. 

I am the first to admit when i am wrong was told at Port last week that Lincoln was a Handicap race but on their site it does say time trials

I B Racing lists 18 registered All Stars minus Kinser and the Grove 70 that does leave 16, Unless some stay at Lernerville on Friday most should come in or are from this area,Shaffer is scheduled in the 49 and Starks in the 44 but neither are registered.

Jacobs is not with the All Stars this year and I dont remember the last time if ever Cole Duncan was at the Grove.

Sorry but what # is Roger Campbell dont recall ever seeing him.

Good luck to all drivers would love to see someone like Armstrong or Helms step up and win one.

Any non regular All Stars planning on making the trip to Pa. this weekend ?

Right now I would say Dewease has better than a 50% chance of winning Friday and Saturday Sunday is up in the air Chad 10H won last year at Bedford so thats their only chance for a win this trip.

Any news on Dave Blaney saw the Ecowater #11 at Knoxville practice didnt say if it was the Mottern car or not?
