Where are you measuring from? While Knoxville is certainly .52 in the Qualifying Groove, Eldora is barely .44 at the wall. My guess is Eldora is closer to .38 or .40 at the qualifying groove. Which would of course make the Eldora speed even slower.

In other words, Eldora isn't as big and bad as they promote it to be...
I'm listening to the Dirvision broadcast and rolling my eyes at the exaggerations...
I guess you could say I'm bored; looking for a little drama!

Have you ever used the Google Earth "ruler"? It's actually very accurate!
Try measuring something that you are familiar with, like a section of farm land. You will find that it is very consistent and accurate!
Another example of creative promotion is the Perris Auto Speedway. Billed as a .5 mile, but is actually a .38...
