Well, Bell won last night and held off Schatz. I think if Donny gets anywhere NEAR a good spot post dash he is odds on to win. Last night Tim Shaffer held Schatz off in the dash to keep Donny out of the first two rows for the feature. So, even though I'd like to see Kerry Madsen win it all again, I'm going with Schatz.

On a sidebar, whilst down here I got to meet Tom and Cigar Dave, both from South Bend, during the long rain delay Thursday Night. Both are avid fans of IOW.

Last night, a first for me. I was over in Turn 3 and when it came feature time, the crowd never sat down. First time I ever stood for an entire feature for sprints. What is the word coming to? But then again, it is the Kings Royal and the "crowd" is always a different one.

With Lincoln Park getting rained out Thursday, looks like I am headed there Sunday on the way back. I plan on sitting the whole night.
