Robby Gordon is entered, and who doesn't want to see a fellow off-road racer win in the east?

I think im actually going to buy this one on PPV. who else is going to?

[kim]

I bought this last year. It was great. A lot of fun to watch. I'll be buying it again this year.

[RGFan]

Yeah I will be buying it......The only real chance he has to beat the nascrap guys these days.

[FCORR]

I'll be getting it again, the racing was great last year....this is a can't miss event!

Tony is flat out fast, and will be tough to beat, but watch out for Clint Bowyer if he's racing again, he was real fast last year as well....

Nevermind, I just read the list of entries, Bowyer is racing! Should be some good action!

[LOGANSTANFORTH]

Stupid me, i never took the time to drive the hour and a half to Eldora to ever watch a race, I spent too much time working at a track closer to me, i did make it to speed weeks in 2008 at Tampa, that was a good race.....that was the last dirt race ive been too and it was about 3 years before that when i actually went to one.....

[woundedyak]

Landed tickets off of Craigslist last night. Sitting in the middle of 1-2. I guess we are going to do the over night camping thing. Should be fun! Hopefully Tony doesn't run away with it.

Bump.

Does it start right at 4 pm? or is there "pre race" stuff.

This race doesn't leave much time for Robby to pre-run baja.

There was a good amount of pre race stuff before hand. I remember them qualifying too, correct me if I'm wrong.

Robby has already preran.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO:mad::ma d::mad:

Oh well, guess I'll just stay at work.

[woundedyak]

Such B.S. It was such a nice day (low 80's and humid as hell) until 3:00. Then the sky turned black and about 15min later, BOOM! Instant 60-70 mph straight line winds,Tornado watches, hail up to the size of golf balls,Lighting that blinded you and thunder that would make you brain itch. Thank God my buddy drove his beater (saturn) instead of his brand spanking new Tundra becuase the Saturn is dead.It's been a really good commuter for him the last 10yrs and now a hail storm totaled it. If you are a windshield/glass guy. Take a trip out this way. I bet you could get easily a few weeks of work with in hours of being here. Not to mention the paintless dent remover guys. I saw dealership after dealership that 90% of the cars on the lot had the rear window taped up and the body's looked like the cellulite on a 350 ponders Behind.

[michael_loomis]

Wow!! You see a wrecked Saturn, I see a 24 hours of Lemons gem!!

I know its no golf ball sized hail craziness.. but here in SD yesterday, out of the blue, a thunder/lightening storm rolled thru, the kind where you can here the electricity crackle right outside your door... due for more tomorrow...

I read that hurricanes are popping up in places not normally known for hurricanes this year. Weird times...

[kaw500]

Damm, that's nasty. Better then your head.

[FCORR]

This still a go for tomorrow? HBO's website still says it's a go, just haven't heard anything about it in a while...

If it is, who's watching?

[fishd00d]

Looks like its a go:

I'll be ordering tonight then...thanks Fish.

Anyone else?

[fishd00d]

I got it last year and it was pretty good. Wasent it like $50 last year? This year it says its only $24.95??

[FCORR]

Sounds about right...I can't remember last week, let alone a year ago though...lol

Well worth $25 that's for sure....

You think Tony is going to own again? Robby has a busy week...you think he'll still be running?

[fishd00d]

I hope Robby is running that same car he had last year. I dont think anyone has anything for Tony though unless he has some problems but Robby can get 2nd for sure!

[FCORR]

I hope to see him running too, but I think we all know this is a crazy week for him...guess we'll see tomorrow...

Tony runs that truck like he owns the place....wait a minute....:eek: :p

[michael_loomis]

It was 25 last year. Robby has his own bloomquist car and others were running borrowed cars. I hope he runs again though, very entertaining.

[NicksTrix]

a couple other guys own their own cars as well.

[RGFan]

Yeah, TS, Clint Boyer, Kenny Wallace, Ray Evernham, I believe Kenseth and Edwards own their own as well. RG is on that list now but with full support from Bloomquist.

[FCORR]

Any predictions?

I'm going:
1) Tony Stewart
2) Clint Bowyer
3) RG

[michael_loomis]

My top 3, in any order are, Stewart, Kahne, and RG.

I hope we see Busch spin out 6 bazillion times again. :D

[Combo]

Hope the weather stays away!!!

[kaw500]

Heading home now should be a good time.
Well worth the price of admission.

[kaw500]

RG third quickest in hot lap session

[kaw500]

Nice Shiner
Wild desrcrption about the crash

[Racer21(Roberto)]

RG wrecked and TS won. wow. who would have expected that? idk, maybe everyone?

[FCORR]

Any predictions?

I'm going:
1) Tony Stewart
2) Clint Bowyer
3) RG

Damn, got the first 2 right anyways...

I like the idea of starting Tony in the back of the field and having a sponsor put up a large sum of money (to go to charity of course) if he can still pull off the win...
