Eldora isn't the track I remember and went to 10 times a year for 15 years and Im not the only one who feels that way. That everything in the place has improved but the track itself, It definitely isn't the house Earl Built. I've seen three good tracks in the 12 races I've attended since Tony's owned it. One was the Blue Collar Bash that I was one of maybe 200 fans to show on a 38* october day. Another was the USAC/Eldora 50 year anniverssary and last years four crown after the 2.5hr rework. The rest were either overpacked slow motion dust bowls or cancelled for dust, fog, whatever. The problem with your response to mine is that you ASS/U/ME to know the reasons I post what I did. Break it down.

I think the change in the track at Eldora happened long before Tony took over. After Doty got hurt I think that Earl purposely tried to slow it down. After that when you showed up at the track all you saw was sheepsfoot marks all the way around it. That being said the wing guys like a slicker track so its not so bad for them. Since the 4 crown added the All Stars there is now no standalone USAC shows at Eldora anymore. I think its pretty evident which way Tony is going schedule wise at Eldora and for sure its not making non-wing fans too optimistic.

I didn't call you a a$$. I meant that assuming what I was thinking makes a ass out of you and me.
I wasn't winged bashing. I just don't care. I don't know enough of em to make a educated guess. If I go and see a good race, I'll call it good. I know Rico and I know Shatz. One won't be there Saturday and I doubt the Haudenschilds will either (Which I also know) Hannigan ran well there. IDK. You just couldn't let my picks stand as it were. I wasn't telling anyone what to choose or where to go and because I put IDC for ASCOC and WoO it's a big deal to someone. John had a point, They slowed it down intentional. They even cut the cushion off a few times I've been there. Last years Sprintacular the NW sprints were running 20 second laps. It's not a bash, But a fact to say I seen street stocks run faster there. I hope it's a little faster Saturday if I go. I was leaning that way as it's a bit closer than TCRP.

That lets race two race was really something to see. I consider myself fortunate to have been there to see it and I can't wait for Friday and Saturday this weekend however it turns out. The opportunity to see 4 classes of open wheel race cars is enough for me to smile just thinking about it.
