Excited to go to Eldora next week and sit in the new spacious grandstand. Also will be great to see a well prepared dust free race track. Oh crap I was just dreaming. Will be the same crowed fifty year old grandstand and track so dusty you can't see the cars.Hey Tony that wet stuff in the ponds outside the track is called water, try putting some, no a lot of it on the track. Watched Pa. speedweek and never a hint of dust. Maybe Tony should hire the Pa. track crews to prepare his track..

Is this Robert Ballou? Haha  He says the same things. I don't mind a greasy hard curbed Eldora. Seen some good shows in the slick though too. Almost miserable to spectate in person but I'll still go back someday.

Went to Eldora for the first time in 25 years for the Four Crown Nationals last fall. The USAC sprint car feature was the first time in 70 years of going to races that I just quit trying to see the cars and watched ther score board. Still thinking of giving a try again this fall. It was in the ninties that day. It can happen anywhere under conditions like that. The seating did make me appreciate Port Royals.

With the hot weather we could be looking at a record low F.Q.I. (fan quality index). Too many middle aged adolescents, felons, power drinkers, and trustees of modern chemistry. They need Dalton from Roadhouse to clean it up.
When the tagline in the new Eldora KR commercials on social media is "Come for the race, stay for the party" then cutting to Mrs. Larson shotgunning a beer you know the priorities could be slightly askew.
But it is what it is, and I'll probably still be there as I have since 1987.

Went to the speedweek show and dust wasn't a problem at all. Walked out and didn't even have to dust myself off all night. With 4 nights of racing, I would imagine your going to get an iffy track at least once. That's just the way it is.

Its been 10 years now since but I did go for about 12 years straight. Sat on the concrete pad just past the bleachers going into turn 1. I got blasted every year I went. Goggles were a must if you wanted to see.
