One of the best ways to bake a track to dust is run high horsepower and wings.
Its funny that a insurer would rather have guys racing on a dusty, vision imparing track. Maybe theres another way to slow down, take off the wings so you have to back it in.
Your looking for dirt in your beer not dust.
I can somewhat agree with this statement drawing on Eldora experience from 20 years ago until now. We've always sat in the first set of bleachers in 4 closest to the main grandstands or brought our own seats and reserved a little piece of concrete real estate. Years ago during the big shows (King's Royal, World 100, Dream, 4-Crown) they would be out scraping the walls, you'd get pelted non-stop.

Now the walls are white all night and having to dodge clay is a thing of the past. Hope they can get it figured out. Seen some epic shows there through the years.

One question I do have. Is the prep they do for the NASCAR trucks affecting that service in the long term at all? I feel like after the race the surface isn't as good for the rest of the year.
