Vandalism
 

I have been involved in sprint car as a crew member for 25 years or so. In all of that time I have never had an issue parking at the track other than an occasional elbows up to get in line. Tonight, I came out to my car after the races to find someone had keyed my hood. This is the first time that I got to take my son in the pits at Eldora since he finally cleared the minimum age limit. We had a great night just kicking around the pits and he got to see the races from a completely different perspective. Then to come to find my hood keyed deep enough to require a re-spray just leaves me feeling disgusted. I have no clue how a person can get their jollies out of destroying someone else's property. May bad karma bite them in the tail end soon. Thank for letting me rant a bit.

P.S. If someone says it wasn't a real sprint race 'cause of the wing be forewarned I just might smack 'em with a wet fish...j/k :D

sorry about the hood, but it might not have happened had you been at a real sprintcar race.

My family camps there for ump nationals every fall, and we have had items stolen. We have seen a knock down, drag out on family night between trashed guys in the middle of fireworks when there were kids all around. My husband and I make sure we lock everything up tight, and leave nothing sitting in our seats in the stands; Eldora is the only track I feel I have to do this at.

Sorry about your car getting keyed. The same thing happened to a friends new truck while he was at the WoO show there recently. I'm not sure why some people feel inclined to tear things up that don't belong to them.

If that was meant to be funny it isn't,if it wasn't meant to be funny it's just stupid!!

It's Indiana Sprint Week and you're on IOW. Expect to get razzed for going to a winged race instead.

That is funny right there

And on a related note, does BC get a pass for ditching ISW and going to Eldora? Saw a lot of BC shirts at Bloomington and a lot of disappointed fans.

He needs a pass to skip shows paying 5k to win for races paying 10,12 and 50k? It pays more to start the race tonight than it does to finish 2nd at a usac race.

After all the friendlyness and hospitality at the Waynesfield, Burg, LPS and Bloomington, Even with a parking lot nightmare trying to get out last night, It was cordial and patient.

I have to agree with this post, So much so, Im just going to PPV the Kings Royal. But wish I could Tri State, Even the NW PPV's are more friendly :5:

Its stuff like that is why I quit going to Eldora. Seemed like so many people don"t care about the races , its about how many beers they can drink and seems like every drunk thinks he"s Mike Tyson wanting to fight after they staggered into you. It just wasn't fun anymore. For me the stopping point was the great dust out , first hop lap session, after first green flag lap you could look at 3rd turn and only saw the top part of the suites, after 2nd lap you couldn"t see the suites at all. That's the last of my money Tony will get. I know theres other people to take my place but no more of my money will go there :7:

Now I get it

As slow as they were qualifying last night it might as well been a non-wing race......:D

If I ever see someone doing that to my vehicle or anyone elses they will be taking a beating !!!!!

Somebody smack this guy with a wet fish!
But I usually like his comments....

Wow, that stinks. Corroborates what I heard from a Canadian fan who goes to all the US tracks. He said way too many drunks at Eldora. Still want to go there some day, maybe 4 Crown.... hope my Bernie sticker doesn't get my car vandalized!

The Royal brings the drunk losers out in mass. I found a way out by buying a pit pass and staying out of the stands.

Jim if you don't want to give Tony anymore money, I would suggest that you don't buy his merchandise, stopping going to Eldora only makes you miss some really good racing. And while I have seen some drunken stupidity at Eldora, it's never been to the point that was too big of distraction. Sorry to hear of your your car getting keyed, but it happens at stores and malls too. Unfortunately there's some stupid people among us.
