Since I only live 13 miles from Eldora and being such a nice night I thought I
would take a trip out there to see if anything is new.
I talked to Mr Kamp and he told me that they put 6 tandem loads of wood chips & many loads of more clay on the track last fall. They had a big machine come in and mixed it all up. They compacted it all down for the long winter.
With all of the snow and the rain all day last Sunday it was not until yesterday before they could get on the track. He didn’t sound to promising that the track would be in very good shape but he is hoping for the best.

Improvements to the place. They have added a 60 by 20 ft jumbo tron that they got out of Dallas old stadium. It is not hooked up yet because they had to wait for the electric company to run 3 phase to it.

They added more seats that I think most of us won't care for. They added them right behind the main grandstands. This is the area where a lot of people would stand or put there lawn chairs. When you walk in now all you see is a bunch of stands. When you were walking the main area by the concession stand and bar you could see the track. Now with these 3 rows of bleachers all you will see is butts. The top row is all most to the roof.
There is only a small section next to the announcer stand that there aren’t stands.
Anyway hope every one has a safe trip to the track.
