Gotta give it to em, Eldora sure puts on well run, flashy show, with the fireworks, flame blast, and all. The service trucks, (all 4 are new fords) were right on it when needed, show was run efficiently, no down time between races, got out at a reasonable time after 11 great races. The half empty guys will say it was dusty, but they could have spent 30-45 mins watering and running in, and it would still have been dusty after a couple laps. I appreciate running it, eat a little dust, get home reasonable time. Track seemed to be good, they were running within tenths of the track record, so Eldora crew, my hats off to you!

I agree with everyone. They ran the show off as quick as possible. I was back home in Indy at 12:35am. Dust was not bad at all. It was a challenge for the sprinters to get grip on the track, as it was smooth as silk. Lotta high dollar machinery in the pits last night.
For only $28 general admission, $33 for the pits, that was a great value! Thank you Eldora for this awesome double header! |

Of course i have to ask of those who attended, which had the better feature, the Outlaws or USAC? From the highlights I watched it might have been the the wings, but I wasn't there. As some of you know I prefer without, but wing racing is getting better all the time, at least that's what I'm seeing.

Both features were great. Brady started 8th and marched to the front passing ALL the top USAC drivers. Seeing the Wild Child lead an Outlaw feature at Eldora again was special. A-Aron Reutzel was spectacular going from 3rd to 1st in one move. Doesn't get much better

I am a USAC Guy all the way, but the Outlaws put on a hellava show. Their financial backing just puts them in a different stratosphere. I thought the non wings was more competitive though, more equality back thru the pack.

I just watched the video of Friday night's show. I think I heard the announcer say that the track has been reconfigured. Is that true? What have they done?
