It was not successful because it did not make money. Eldora had made a gentleman's agreement to swap out their Saturday date at some point, and that never happened. This was five years ago, but it is now difficult to do a good sprint/midget doubleheader anywhere and actually make money on it. That's a big nut to crack.
K-C is posting a good purse on Saturday for USAC Sprint Cars. The date was a tough one with tracks in Indiana being busy already, but then Eldora added a date right on top of K-C, which will make things even tougher.
I always hate to see a new track step up and invite Sprint Cars into their house, pay a substantial purse ($5K to win, $1K for 5th, $600 to start) and not be rewarded. I truly hope I see some support for them on Saturday...
