Just for discussion sake, not withstanding any specific drivers health, finances , family or desire, who would you like to see as the 10 or 12 WoO platinum drivers signed on for the full year? Please keep it to active drivers who could run the 2021 season regardless of any realistic circumstances that would prevent them. Maybe tell us why you pick who you pick.
Even though I may not know you, I
care what most of you think!

Larson---still assuming no sponsor gets on board. We'll see
Schatz---if he doesn't retire to run his Late Model throughout the upper midwest
Sweet---lock
Sheldon---lock
Schuchardt--lock
Allen---lock(?)
A-Aron---is he ready to make the jump?
PPM---in the 41? (left Gravel off the list---assuming Nascar will keep him out full time---maybe to the 14 part time?)
Bayston---in the 83?
Kerry---I think he/his team are one of the top teams in the country. Not getting the wins this year but always in the hunt
Macedo---problem is, if Macedo is on this list in the KLR #2, that means Kyle is off the list. I don't believe Kyle will fund a full-time WoO ride in 2021 without some Nascar support. JMO
Shane Stewart---would love to see him get a full time ride again
Gio---but it seems the #18 car is not quite up to snuff---maybe in a Scelzi Racing entry?
Macri---would be fun to see him take it on the road for a year. 2021 may be a little premature thinking.
Sorry----I gave you 14

I'd keep the top 7 guys now, add Larson, Bell, Rico, Reutzel and Tim Kaeding in the Sides ride full time.

I would love to add Kaeding to my list. Maybe he will change his mind about staying in CA for 10 months out of the year. He is so exciting to watch

My 12 would be
Sweet, Schatz, Schuchart, Macedo, Gravel, S Haudenchild, Abreu, S.Stewart, K Madsen, B Brown, Reutzel, TK
Left Larson off since we are not sure where he will be. Left Gio off because he has other commitments as well.
Would do another 12 kind of like a All Star/Gumout series as well.
I Madsen, Eliason, Zearfross, Marks, Wise, K Kinser, Sides, J Allen, Macri, C Henry, C Duncan, Freddie Rahmer

Other than Larson, I think he's the best sprint car driver (in the WoO era) who has never run the WoO tour full time.

Sounds like at the end of the month gio is either going to go full time asphalt or full time dirt.

Well, I had family members who were car owners during my younger years. They shaped my opinions and how I approach the sport and made me a huge fan of the machines. As far as drivers go the joke was always "don't bend it and maybe we'll let you drive it again next week".
While I admire the driver's skills I have no preference who tours with the Outlaws. In a way no matter where we live there are likely a few former Outlaws racing locally or regionally and the Outlaws aren't always the best show. By way of example I have had Floracing and Dirtvision and half the time I would watch the All Stars or USAC instead of the Outlaws. Like last night, All Stars at Williams Grove, 45 Midwest Power Series 360's at Husets and 22 WoO at Lawton. I never looked at DV all night, I'd take Husets or the All Stars any day when the WoO show isn't somewhere they draw a good field. One does not realize how many 18 to 24 car shows the WoO runs in areas without many 410's until they follow it all on PPV.

Yep, this year has been a bit of an anomole given the circumstances. Plenty of shows normally post a qualifying order with only three columns of cars in a regular year. I've generally watched wherever Larson has been.
Flo has made it almost overwhelming with everything they have now. I wish I had a better way to organize the app so I could go back and watch some replays of all the shows I didn't watch (weekly Port Royal/Lincoln come to mind).

You know what, I would agree with you. Kaeding is one of the best pure racers I've ever witnessed. Larson is the best pure racer I've ever seen.

My realistic series (assuming guys with Nascar hopes and not expecting the Dream Team 69k to suddenly gain youth and truck the series, as well as cases like Daryn stepping away from Full Time)
Schatz (lock)
Sweet (lock)
Schuchart (lock)
Allen (lock)
S Haudenschild (lock)
Macedo (Silly Season incoming?? Whispers about KLR)
PPM (look for full time '21)
McFadden (Guy is an absolute wheelman that shines at times. I'd love for KKR to have 2 full time guys again. Someone help sponsor this ride)
K Madsen (Veteran with plenty of WoO experience. Overall a great driver.)
Eliason (Would be a rookie contender that makes most shows. A RoY race between Eliason and PPM would be interesting.)
Marks (Was surprised he took the CJB ride and didn't run full time. Ended up losing 2 full time drivers this past offseason. Returning veteran with a lot of respect from the drivers)
T Kaeding (TK driving full time for Sides would be a treat. Definitely would be the most entertaining team out there)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Honorable Mentions
Bayston (I think he drives the 83 to begin next year, but I don't trust anyone surviving a full year on the tour with Roth)
Reutzel (Capable of doing it, just think he's content with winning a bunch of races with the ASCoC)
I Madsen (Veteran driver without a secure ride, could be a great part time driver)
Abreu (Also capable, but I think he's content with running a lot of regional shows)
Courtney (Sunshine looking to run wings full time in '21, might as well cut your teeth on the WoO)
Left off Larson, Bell, Gio, and Gravel for Nascar purposes, and some other names that I don't think would "leave their porch"

Shark racing 2 cars
Sweet
Little haud
If KLR, which I see no reason they drop off tour, Macedo goes to the 83
Shatz, on his Farwell tour, yep you heard it here.
Sides will be there and on occassion Kaeding will also
Gravel, he's a dick, either run the woo in a top ride or go race asphalt were you will be a nobody
I think Reutzel starts the season on the woo, question is will he stay there
PPM, shows signs of performing, it's all about sponsorships for him
So if KK keeps his team out there that's 13, if he gets the funding you may see both of his cars follow the woo again.

I'm going with the top 8 in WoO points, plus Larson, Bell, Abreu, Dewease & Reutzel
I know, thats 13... oh well
I also know some of those picks aren't gonna happen....original question said " regardless of any realistic circumstances that would prevent them".

Larson and then clone 11 other Larsons. Only problem would be that they would all finish 12 abreast in first place every night.

Also incorrect. They never had any intentions of running the entire season----it's not like they pulled out unexpectedly. They popped in and out of the tour and he won a ton. In fact, there was a stretch where he was the man to beat.
