It is interesting just sitting back and thinking about an event of this type again. Whether it be traditional sprints or late models, a promoter would be taking a rather large risk of putting enough butts in the bleachers to make this a viable opportunity. With the current economic environment, I don't see anyone including Tony who would feel comfortable enough to strap on this risk. However, with that being said, maybe Tony along with Roger might be the ones who step up and make this happen. With all of the companies who support Eldora with sponsorship, with Tony's connections they might be able to get this accomplished.

If I had a choice, I would rather see a three day show like Tri City has done with the midgets and Kokomo is doing this year with the sprints. It doesn't have to be $1 million to win or a million dollar show, just put together something that pays well throughout the entire field. In my opinion, that is what draws cars and fans. Many top heavy payouts haven't had nearly as many racers in recent years because you only have one winner. If you don't have the cars, most of the time you don't have the fans either.

Scheduling would be kind of tricky as well. I believe you would have to have this when other tracks aren't running. So it would be either an early spring race or a late fall race. Weather concerns in the spring would make me think that a fall date would be better. Then you run into college football on Saturdays or NFL on Sundays as competition.

Also, you have to have the right ticket pricing to go along with this. If it is too high you risk fans not coming especially with a downturned economy. I am sure others would want PPV so maybe you could make that worthwhile. Eldora runs a number of high dollar shows already and that makes me wonder if they would even consider it again.

I guess we can only wait and wonder what the future will bring.
