Amen to that!!!! I can't think of anyone more deserving. Just think of all the butts he has put in seats at Eldora over the years. Didn't he used to be announced as "Eldora's Favorite Son". Probably my all-time favorite memory at Eldora was the 4-Crown in Sep. 1998. After he swept all the features, he sat on the frontstretch in a chair and signed autographs, hugged the women, and kissed the babies. Or vice-versa. But he is probably just too honest and candid. I can't think of any one action(personel-wise) that would be so simple and would bring alot of true fans back to Eldora. I know several who would go just to see Jack and support him. Maybe Tony feels he wouldn't fit in with the new VIP fans that come to the Prelude. I think Jack would surprise Tony in that regard. I looked for either Larry as I was leaving Eldora on Friday night. I thought they might be out by the ticket office to answer questions, but all i seen was angry fans and a few Deputy Sheriff's. How sad.
