In my opinion the middle 80s to the middle 90s were amongst the best Eldora tracks. Seen several features were guys coming outta turn 4 would go across the concrete apron way down low....while others were on the wall. The CRA/USAC shows were always awesome. Even WoO & ASCoC shows were good back then there.
Back when Earl had the "frosty 40s" then later the "frosty 30s" in October....those were the good years. Of coarse everything changes a bunch including tire technologies, which I'm sure effects the track.
I'd always heard the John Bankston crash at the HBO really effected Earl a bunch...consequently not prepping the track to be so fast? Not sure if that's accurate or not? Even still Eldora is amongst one of my all time favorite tracks. Yes it has changed though....but a lot of things have. The positive of it is we still got a guy who wants to continue running it, and is trying.
