Tom, Mike and I will be going to the Kings Royal next Saturday night at Eldora.
This is not just a race it's a happening!
Is anyone else from TF going to be at Eldora next weekend?

Have a very blessed day!
Only if I can clone myself. Night 2 of Indiana Sprint Week at Kokomo, almost due west of you, young man.

Wanna know what's wrong with NASCAR? They've gone from Junior Johnson to Jimmie Johnson.
Wanna know what's wrong with IndyCar? It's gone from dirt ovals to street races.

Hope to see you there! I'll be wearing a Kinser shirt with both Steve and Kraig on it. We're sitting in section BB three rows from the top. We'll be in the pits early also.
BTW, this will be my 21st KR. I envy you going to the Doty Classic and and the Knight Before.
I wish I could do that some day.
Maybe one year. I wish I was within 5 hours of that place.
I'll be there in section K. I don't know if I'll make it early enough to go to the pits though. Outside of the usual cast of characters, I've seen that quite a few cars from PA are planning on coming to Eldora.

The weather forecast is not too bad for Saturday. It's calling for highs in the mid 80's with a chance for rain.
For those who have been to a lot of Kings Royals, it seems like it rains almost every year but it has only been rained out once and run the next day.
Tomorrow is the big day for us!
Leaving at 11AM so we can take it all in!
Getting ready to go east to Eldora!
I hope the rain holds for a few more hours and then let it pour!

For Me,,,
If I had to choose between Indy, Daytona, or a personal sitting
with the Pope,,, it would be off to Eldora, for the "Kings Royal"...

Give that man a Bingo.
Read on Facebook that Sammy won. More later.
It was another incredible day of racing and fun!
Walking the pits before the night begins is worth the price of admission.
BTW, a pit pass is only $5!
The weather was good and the track held up pretty well considering the drought.
We met people from all over the country and even met a family from Australia.
The only negative of the day was Sammy winning. I have never been a fan of his
and never will be. Too many incidents in his long career as far as I'm concerned.
I was not the only one who rooted against Sammy last night. Most everyone in my
section was saying "anyone but Sammy."
I hope the Good Lord leaves me around to attend this event next year and for a few years to come!
Now I hope we get some much needed rain!
I failed to mention that Steve Kinser had to scuffle to make the A-Main. He changed an
engine moments before the B-Main and finished in the last transfer spot. It was fun
watching him, Kraig and Donny Schatz run to the front. Kraig was running as high as second late
in the race.
Steve has now made all 29 Kings Royals. That's quite an accomplishment!

The dark side of racing---when fans lose their life. Again: drink responsibly. And...when you play, you pay. doesn't matter what it is.

Dark side, indeed! Things like this happen when you have a crowd the size of Saturday night's crowd. There were a lot of people driving vehicles that shouldn't have been driving.
Should a series be embarrassed when guys in their mid to late 50s are absolutely kicking the behinds of guys that could be their kids? And in some cases are?
Tell me again that Steve and Sammy aren't among the most talented racers we'veever seen.

Not only Sammy and Steve, but oldsters like Danny Lasoski and Jack Haudenschild still racing and winning races. All of these are north of their 50th birthday.Should a series be embarrassed when guys in their mid to late 50s are absolutely kicking the behinds of guys that could be their kids?

I believe that Steve Kinser is one of the most talented racers I've ever seen but Sammy is not called Slammin' Sammy for nothing. Sammy had some rough edges and he still has 'em. He just as soon drive through someone than to pass 'em. that hasn't changed much.
BTW, I saw Steve race when he was still in high school, so I've seen a bunch of 'em. I'm not discouraged about the Outlaws once Steve, Sammy and the others hang it up. There is some really good young talent on the way up.
