4 crown updates
 
Let's hear it!

PIT CART 9/24/16 8:56 PM

2 tractors driving around and one is about to get lapped.

streetglider 9/24/16 9:00 PM

Track is terrible. VERY dry & dusty after just 5 hot laps. Very disappointed with the track prep (or lack there of). 9:00 & just got done qualifying.

PIT CART 9/24/16 9:03 PM

For those who wanted the traditional 4 crowns features on Sunday. Well its back!!

Eatin Dirt 9/24/16 9:07 PM

Supposed to start racing at 8, it's nown 9 and the water truck has now taken the track. This is rediculous.

PIT CART 9/24/16 9:18 PM

Tony just said he was sorry, I feel better now.

sdsacr 9/24/16 9:32 PM

This will be a long night and a long drive back to South Carolina tomorrow

Eatin Dirt 9/24/16 9:42 PM

Think the Green jeep is in the lead followed by the white Ford. Wheel packing machine about 2/3 laps down..

PIT CART 9/24/16 9:47 PM

But the wheel packing guy will make the minimum weight by a long shot.

Long time Eldora fan , Haven't been there in ten years. If I can't see the cars racing why go.

wildman92 9/24/16 9:56 PM

As many races as we go to and we've never been to Eldora and this is one example of why.

Indy 9/24/16 10:08 PM

And you still wont be able to see the cars in the turns at feature time.

Kinser11.

Thanks for updates🏁🏁👍👍👍

ThrowbackRacingTeam 9/24/16 10:35 PM

The heavy duty track packing machine is probably a reason why it sucks so much. Sorry to hear everyone had to put up with that. Hopefully the racing makes up for it.

I could watch rico race a garden tractor with one wheel. Always fun to watch!

sdsacr 9/25/16 12:12 AM

He had almost a 9 second lead in the midget feature until that yellow.

axman775 9/25/16 1:56 AM

I feel like this is turning into an endurance race. 2 am and Silver Crown feature hasn't even started yet!

Scooter 9/25/16 6:50 AM

I read it was 4am til the show was over...it started at 4:30pm right?

Very glad I didn't plan the trip out. There is no way I would have stayed awake for all features.

12hours to run 4 divisions? without rain?? Did something happen to cause a long delay? Was it Just track prep?

Hubie 9/25/16 8:43 AM

Re: 4 crown updates
 
I quit going to Eldora in 2008. Figured I would give the track another try.

big mistake!

First heat race took to the track at 10:07 pm! Freakin' ridiculous. Lots of drunks by that time. LOTS. Everyone can't applaud Tony Stewart enough however, he must be laughing all the way to the bank. I think they had a zillion All Star winged sprinters and they time trialed everyone of them. I left Eleven and I won't be going back.

Rain would be the only thing to justify such a delay.sounds like a very poorly managed show.

Time to move this to a two night show at Terre Haute.
Last dime I spend at Tony's place. I stayed till the 2am fuel stop for the All Stars and left a fifty lapper on the table just so I could be home by 4am

I had about five around me leave before the racing started at ten. And even people who were camping bailed.

Jrp4554 9/25/16 9:09 AM

I like how all the people complaining didn't even go... GOOD!! Stay home. The place was packed without you. Yes it took forever but the racing made up for it. Would you rather get done by ten but the track take rubber and it be a follow the leader parade? At least Tony saw a problem, apologized, and tried to fix it. I for one had a great time and didn't get to bed until 6am. Thanks Tony and eldora. I think some of you you guys would ***** if they gave you free admission and let you drive the pace truck.

What time did the racing actually finish?

I left at 2:30 and still had 39 laps left in crown race.
