What a time. First off I want to say it was great to shake hands with MC and Charles. I only wish we had more time to talk. Big hat shake to my bud NoDramazone2020 for saving us a spot for tailgating. Unbeknownst to him he was parked next to the wonderful tandem of Wildman92 and Dirtfan, which led to a little IOW meet and greet. As I’ve stated before, it’s been decades since I’ve been there. I think I picked a great night to revisit. One thing I have to say first is , the Burg doesn’t do itself Justice on TVs. After watching it in person, I understand why it might create some hesitancy for some drivers. Not to sidetrack here but, the Burg races more like the real Eldora, than Eldora does now. I’ve often heard about the quality of the facility, and all of that was validated Saturday night. The place is great. I look back on what made Eldora so special to me, and I saw that again on the banks of the Ohio River. The track is not for every racer, and that’s how it should be. The speed on the fence is worth the price of admission, even if it’s not side by side racing. I could go on, but I’ll quit boring you here. A bow to the Rudisell’s for what they have done. And if the the Lawrenceburg Speedway does not carry on, it will be a huge loss to real racing in our great state and racing as a whole
