- - Eldora USAC this Saturday (https://www.indianaopenwheel.com/showthread.php?t=76503)

$$$$$ for Jumbotrons and Flamethrowers but not the surface.. If the "Greens" ever show up they'll have the place shut down for wasting water. Only go to support the racers. Sad!!!

Great night at the big E for me and my girls.

Positives
+ show ran like clockwork.
+ a win for DD and the 71 team
+ heats 1 and 2 were epic. Fantastic battles. Anybody else thinks so?
+ support classes were entertaining
+ stocktons move to repass DD after the first restart was very impressive.
+ it wasn't snowing

Negatives
- dust during the feature
- the concession trailer wasn't setup in turn 1 yet. No tenderloin for me.

Looking forward to the BOSS show next month.

Seems to me that ever since they put up the suites in 3 and 4 the dust has no where to go. If you watch the video 1 and 2 is a lot different than 3 and 4.agreed that the surface needs something, but in my opinion the huge skyscrapers in 3 and 4 have a little something to do with it too. j.m.o. see you at the races.

I'VE NEVER HEARD ANYONE BOO DARLAND BEFORE, I FIGURE HE DID IT FOR COMIC RELIEF? I must agree with mr. fishburger, the track was well staffed and ran a smooth professional show, they did all they could with the track surface too, its just beyond help though I'm afraid!

AGREE COMPLTELY, There is just no excuse to have a dust bowl!, Show was ran great and the racing was good. I was there at 3pm looked at the obvious completely dry track half way up and running the top in like it was soaked. Hard to understand that! All in all I got my moneys worth! If I knew exactly what was gonna happen before I got there I would still go. Just a shame track prep continues to be a problem there. I guess thats Why I go to Lawrenceburg most weekends. Great to see DD win and especially Hewitt show up for a visit!

Re: Eldora USAC this Saturday

The other side to this coin is if the track is to heavy, then everyone will complain its one lane around the botyom/middle.

I'll dive into that and a few other reasons why I think the way I do on this weeks show.
