        Appalachian Speedweek has 3 4k to win shows. Ultimate has a 4k to win show. Carolina Clash has a 4k to win also. Mars and Comp Cams have 2k and 3k to win shows.

        There's a ton of regional racing going on this weekend.
        Again, we are talking 5 - 10 grand races. Not # of races. We were talking $$$. Yeh, there are 2 and 3 grand shows out there. Nothing close to 10 grand.

        Like Bloomer said, If you have ANY confidence in your race team, your at Eldora. If your not there, well...

          What's the difference between 4 and 5 grand. Not much. Since WoO/Lucas are anchoring most of the 10k to win races. During Eldora week, you aren't gonna find very many if any at all. Most regional series don't any 10k races. And if they do, it certainly isn't gonna be during the Dream/World.

          Let say Casey Roberts isn't suspended by WoO/UMP. Would he be at Eldora? No flipping way.... Because Ulitmate has a race this weekend and he's leading the points.

          What about Rick Eckert??? Nope he's running Applachion Mtn Speedweek.

          That's the point I'm making.....there other races that make more business since then going to Eldora.

              There is no reason other tracks and series should take the weekend off in the middle of the season so only 1 track makes money. Quit being a ridiculously selfish fan.

                You do know that Eckert has won the Dream before, right?

                    DLM racing is not NASCAR where only 42 guys in the USA run the car. There are thousands of dirt late models all over the country so looking at it that way I can see where the op is coming from. It's the highest paying race of the year, you'd like to see over 200 cars show up. We got used to seeing over 200 cars show up for the World too. Having over 80 cars though, of the caliber that are there is a great showing. I wish I was there. I don't see it as him complaining at all.

                      I think 10 is being generous if we're being realistic.

                        I agree, 5 might be generous

                        Chub has been running good
                        Roberts has been good
                        RJ Conley is always good at the E
                        Jackie Boggs same as Conley

                          Something tells me Roberts would've been here. The Cushman family that sponsors him are here, I seen them at the rv last night. They normally aren't here if he isn't.

                              List of guys who could've possibly made some noise. Some of them are a stretch but it could happen.

                                Out of the last 9 races at Eldora(Dream/World). Casey Roberts had made exactly ONE appearance. That's was the 2013 World 100.

                                Just because a sponsor of a racer shows up in his RV. Doesn't mean the racer is gonna show up. This happens more than you think.
