I'll start the car count thread. With 44 cars showing up to the all-star race last night, why can't we get 60 cars at the royal this year. I know, I know, we only need 24 cars for a great show, but with the royal format I want to see 6 10 car heat races. It is definatly more bang for your buck. And with the way Chad has been prepping the track this year, I would expect to see great heat races rather then freight train single file heats.

Reminder that the Kings Royal is Co-Sanctioned with the All Stars this year. Most of the All Stars will be in attendance anyhow, but should sway Palker and a few others to showup.

Other Possibilities:

53-Cap Henry 

25au-Jack Lee

71au-Ryan Davis 

9z-Duane Zablocki

59-Christopher Jones

80-Trey Gustin

55-Trey Starks

84-Jimmy Stinson

83-Stevie Smith, 2nd Holbrook Car ?

77au-Darren Mollenoyux

1st-Gary Taylor

I would very confidently cross off Wilt, Lay, Henry, Zablocki, Lasoski, Abreu, Andrews, and Stewart. The only 1 I would possibly add would be Ron Blair. Would love to see all of those PA guys come over though.

Dietrich said if he ran well last night, he'd come back for the Royal. Hodnett also might come.

Wilt still has it on his schedule. Abreu as well. Last I knew Lay was working on a ride for the Kings Royal, and Knoxville Nationals.

I hope that is the case on the last 2 posts.

I would not count on Dollansky. I believe he is running Knoxville for points. Ran Knoxville last night when the WoO were in Minnesota.

I wouldn't count out Dobmeier for the opposite reason of why I would count out Dollansky

Hodnett is a yes, I would imagine after last night, DD is a yes, and Wilt has cut back a lot this year.  I also believe Marks is coming out but that may have changed since he has had bad luck this year.  

From a Knoxville standpoint Brown is 100%, Lasoski is probably a near lock to go.  If McCarl stretches his lead by mid July I could see Dollansky and Ian Madsen going to Royal instead of staying home...both are 200 points out right now.  But if they are within 150 or so I think both stay home to chase points title.  Could also see Maeschen make the tow... right now he's 9th in points almost 500 out.  I don't see Dobmeier making the tow.  Skipping Knoxville to run in MN is one thing, skipping to run in Ohio not likely.

anyone know if brian brown will run wg nat open again this year?

Adam Wilt has almost become a 1 night a week team at Lincoln only. I highly doubt you will see him at Eldora. 

Dirthawk...any idea what happened to the 15 on Saturday? we saw him pull off but no idea what happened.

Jamie Veal and Roger Crockett will be there for sure. As well as Christopher Bell in the Marshall Motorsports 33m

Stubb: unfortunately this is an OFF year for our group...next year is already in the discussion.

wondering if someone can tell me the best cell phone carrier to get service at eldora? always hearing about how bad cell phone reception is...thanks in advance

Well, I can tell you what cell service doesn't work worth a sh_t there = Verizon.  Tony had a cell tower put up there over the offseason, but it must be Sprint or another carrier.  I'm lucky to get a half of one bar on my Verizon Galaxy phone.  Frustrating!

AT&T installed a tower a while back...and Verizon put up a temporary tower in recent weeks.
