    First World 100 for me. Decided to go at 630 am Sat. morning. Sourced ticket off here, and was rolling from central IL at 730. Had a good day. Race was as I expected. It is worth the trip, but I will always prefer the bullrings.
    My ticket was on the patio in section G. What a seat. Thanks again DG
    I left the seat as Jonathan was still rolling into 1. I was to my truck and out the gate in a flash. I didn't make it all the way back home, but after short a nap, I was back on the road.
    Total trip was 620 miles, 24 hrs and 30 minutes.
    Bonus was being able to stop in Champaign this morning and cover all the Julie tickets due tomorrow. That will make for a very easy Monday.

If we rewind a few weeks, Richards put him in the wall in the last B main for the n/s for a transfer spot after he was already guaranteed a starting spot anyway. I dont know if that 7B has a red dot on his car for those 2 aim at or what. I like Robinson, that was just down right stupid on Don's part to haul it in there like that.
      I been wondering if Don thought Kent was the one that jacked him up off 2? It was Hawkins who did it.

        Fatties bringing in the lazy boy chairs and taking up more space than they paid for deserve all the grief hurled in their direction. Want more space for your big @ss and your crap? Buy an extra seat fatty. If they sit in front of you expect no leg room. Also expect if I’m behind you to get the odd knee in your back. Those chairs suck and need to go, period.

          Both Richards and O’Neal are prone to random displays of moron driving. The only difference is Richards has wolfed down a tasty knuckle sammich in the past for his idiocy. If K Rob would retaliate in kind or do some dental work on those clowns the behavior would cease.

            Donnie O has a much shorter Christmas card list than he started the weekend with. And it was probably already a short list. Dude was a bowling ball last night.

              I think they're both frustrated because they drive for a sub par team with way above average resources; they get wins, but only occasionally and not as often as one would think, but O'neal's been with the team probably longer than anyone has stayed with them.

              It's previously not really been the driver's fault that CBR can't win like they should, but if he keeps with them, it's his fault for not getting out and finding a new ride. Either way, he was out of line last night.

                Eldora seriously needs to update the frontstretch and add more seats with more room

                Don O Neal drives like a knucklehead

                Why did we have to start at 7:38 p.m. on saturday. Start earlier so we can end at a decent hour and be able to go in pits and enjoy ourselves after the races. I know it was only 11 something but still.

                Racing was good but man it is so dang aero dependent. Please someone step up and change this so the little guy has a shot.

                  Funny I seen the Real Deal at the Dirt Racing Outreach service on Saturday afternoon. His conduct in the car that night wasn’t very “Christian”. I see on Twitter that Robinson’s car is totaled and he’s done for the year.

                    While Eldora has some very big events, they will never be known for the best racing. I-80, Knoxville, Wheatland, Cedar Lake, Fairbury, etc. CONSISTENTLY provide much better racing.

                      Congrats to JD. Great racing show for the evening. Felt terrible for Kent, he owes about three different drivers some payback. I am talking about over the course of several races. Last night was obvious and I don't need to repeat what everyone knows. Stormy was a big surprise BTW>

                          When you overdrive, pushes happen.

                            Did anyone else notice how soft the RR on the 49 was compared to everyone else?

                              Your right Frye, but the real reason for that Eldora is not a late model track, they dont race late models all summer there. People have to understand when you dont race late models but a few times a year, How can you expect a good race surface. They have not raced late models all summer long, After the dream, not late model race until the Baltes in September, thats a joke for those hallowed grounds to not run the cars they claim to be the home of for basically all of June, July and August. I know the dream is in June, but early June.

                                Come on Jed, thats unfair, we all fall short of the glory of God and Don is man enough to admit it. You find me a perfect christian and Ill show you a liar. Im not much a fan of his either, but he did do a heck of a job raising that boy of his. Awesome kid.
