Re: Eldora - Where to sit in the stands
 

I usually watch the flag pole while I am pitside and sit upwind when I go to the top.

The last few trips though it didn't matter it was dusty where ever you sat. Hopefully this weekeknd will be different.

Sorry Dusty, just calls em as I sees em.

Hey George whats up these days. Haven't seen you since before you drove for us at Paragon, thats one that I didn't go with you guys. I will tell you now for Dad an GREG HI!.. My openion on where to sit is, up high turn 3. Perfect for the whole track.

JEFF SWEAT:nonwingfan:

call dad 765-998-6120, he would love to talk to you

Re: Eldora - Where to sit in the stands
 

I wholeheartedly agree about the wings. I used to think the poppers were pretty good too, but they changed them a few years back...

I will be sitting in turn 1. We reserved some of the sidewalk seats.

Re: Eldora - Where to sit in the stands
 

The most important thing is to be in the infield for hot laps. It's one of the things that really makes my blood pump...

For the races, I like to move around. Turn one, main grandstand, turn four (eating dirt but the best view), and turn three all in one night - it's one of the best things about Eldora!

Re: Eldora - Where to sit in the stands
 

First off, Hey Jeff Sweet! Yes, please tell your Dad I said hello. Sorry you missed that night at Paragon, we had a good night as I recall.

Second, thanks everyone for your suggestions. This group will consist of about 5 guys who have never experienced a sprint car race, let alone Eldora, so it should be fun to watch their faces during hot laps. :applaud:

I agree, turn 3 would be fun but I can't walk that far these days. I'm all too familiar with it however. One year I was shooting video for ESPN's Speedweek (showing my age) and someone during hot laps dumped it down the backstretch. Well the whole front axle left the car and as I jumped back the front tires just caught the top of the fence and fell back on the track. I decided then that I'd rather be in the car instead of the infield. :O:

I hope we have good weather, I haven't been out to a race in quite some time so I'm looking forward to it.

Come see me if you can. I plan to sit near turn one either in the stands or in a lawn chair next to. I'll plan to wear a black ball cap that says "Stunt Crew" or my Jamaican Bob sled team red ball cap.

Thanks guys.
