The outlaws have some weird rules off the track. That is all I am going to say unless I talk to some of the drivers. Eldora Friday and Saturday are woo sanctioned but they can't enforce all their stupid rules!
Also remember there are 4 days of racing left. Maybe they didn't want to race 5 straight nights.
|
What stupid rules are you talking about? And what would that have to do with HiLimit guys skipping the Doty race?

The King's Royal has the dumbest format ever invented in the history of sprint car racing, so this makes zero sense.

When I first noticed most the HL guys were not at Attica I assumed it was because of 4 straight days of racing at Eldora. A couple guys bent up cars at Portsmouth and complained because they had a lot of racing coming up and now had to switch cars. Hell Marks skipped a race at Eldora to focus on a race later in the day. So it's not out of the realm of possiblity that they want to focus on the Big E.
As far as the rules subject goes. WoO doesn't let non Outlaw teams have merchandise trailers at their races. I would imagine that might have something to do with it.

Don't know don't care. But I heard somethings in the stands that make sense! I am not going to share. Don't know if these people are right or not without talking to some of the drivers personally.

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!

You might be right. That is what some of the people sitting around us said. That is unconfirmed.
There is a lot more money on the line at Eldora than Attica. After saying that I really like Brad Doty - class act!
The main thing is rain is gone and the weather looks great for the rest of the week!

One of the best formats anywhere. Nothing is given to a driver - they have to earn it. No gifts for this race and that is the way it should be!

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.

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.
