I have three tickets for let's race two on Saturday I would like to get rid of. 
Basically I bought three now I have two more that want to go so I want to sell these three and buy 5 more lol. $34 a piece obo. They're in NTB so you would need your own lawn chair.

I see you are not charging the $6.00 'service fee'.

Good on ya'. 

Haha no sir just want to get rid of them. If i can't the other two people are SOL. 

What is the symbolism or underlying purpose of the name" Let's RaceTwo "? I get the royalty theme of The King's Royal and the symbolism of the four Crown Nationals. Seems like somebody at Eldora had a fairly creative mind.

Even though I may not know you, I 
care what most of you think!

They race 2 nights.

Two nights of the Two premier classes in sprints WoO & USAC. 

Former Chicago Cubs player Ernie Banks was famous for saying "It's a beautiful day for a ball game, let's play two!" 

I assumed it was a play off of that. 

 With the dog shit weather rolling in later today, I just hope they get to race one.  :( 

About 6-7years ago it Eldora started naming all of their events such as #Letsracetwo, #Lastcallformethonal, #Lastcallforthemall, and then obvously #Kingsroyal,etc for previously named evets. Not sure if it was someone as you said having a creative mind or trying to get more of a social media presents, trying to add a bit of identity to their events, or a combination of them all.

As far as the event Lets race two specifically, I believe it was the first time either ever or in a very long time that the WoO and USAC sprint car series ever held feature events on the same night when the even started. They had had events on the same weekend but typically never crossing promotions and to some it was frown upon. There were events where you might see a Winged & Non Winged series on the card but it would not be both WoO & USAC. The first race it happened it was a fairly big deal to some and having gone to the May Outlaws race for about 11 years now I can say the attendance has gotten better for it. Used to be just Outlaws then Stocks or Modifieds and the crowd was always good (not a Kings Royal crowd but good), but when they added the non wings it got a little more crowded the first year. The more time that has gone by the crowd seems to get bigger each year.

Imagine that. The crowd getting bigger every year at eldora. Who would have ever thought a dirt track out in no man's land, the dream of one stubborn man and his wife. The place will be busting at the seams for there events this year and that guy and his wife will be looking down smiling. 

I know everyone likes to be all bad ass like "Yeah MF-er we're racin' no matter what, we'll stay up all night to get this in MF-er's!!!"  And 15 years ago, a younger Saphead would've been right there with you. 

But anyone with any common sense knew that track would never be raceable in a reasonable amount of time. And it would've been one lane through the lower/middle all night(morning) long. 

I love the Twitter morons getting upset they didn't run. It's not like the race was canceled, it's going to be run today. Why run in slop and put the drivers at risk while boring everyone with a one lane track? 

Weather looking good for today?  Get 'er done!
