Couldn't agree with this any more. Eldora is a very special place and the 4-Crown was always an event we enjoyed going to, but the addition of winged sprints, in addition to the fact we get a well used up track and a feature ran so late we don't make it back to the shop until 5 in the morning is why you haven't seen our car back in 2 years. We'd like to return, but i do not personally like qualifying on Friday with all the extra expenses. Let's get it figured out and we will return with a hotrod in tow.

I think the mods for the 4th class would be great. However, the 4th class was originally USAC late models. Made a very good show.

Actually, in the very beginning of the 4 Crown they ran the old USAC Stock Car division along with the midgets, sprints & Silver Crown. The USAC Stock Cars were part of the 4 Crown in 1981. '82 & 83. At that point USAC dropped the stock car division and replaced it with the dirt late models which was part of the 4 Crown until 1995. 1996 was the first year for UMP modifieds as part of the 4 Crown.

Here's what the stock cars looked like at the 4 Crown in 1983.

So we all agree? Sprints, Midgets, Silver Crown, and ARCA for 2019?

Agree 100% we use to have a Kit Car in the family that ran the USAC shows with..Sure miss more of the big cars on the dirt..Glad ARCA still has a couple.. Nothing more fun that seeing a Superbird on the dirt.
