I used to just buy a GA ticket, walk in and sit down wherever I wanted. Usually on the hill in turn four in a lawn chair, way before terraces and seats and suites were put in. Bernice sold reseved seats for $1 in the top three(?) rows. Seems they are trying to NASCAR-ize (bastardize) Eldora too much. Nothing wrong with trying to make a buck, but too many rules and regulations about where you can or can't sit unless you come up with more $$$. It sort of leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. So Eldora will have to be just a memory for me from now on. OK, I'll quit griping now.

Greg, I have the same problem. Can't drive at night has limited my racing and i get really upset about it. At least you have a track like Lawrenceburg near by...I only have taxi cab tracks close to me. As far as Eldora, I don't miss it so much for exactly the same reasons as you. Rules, rules, rules I guess I'm just not a modern day fan who buys his tickets a year in advance. At my age who knows if I'll be here in a year.
