I left at 2:30 also. I wanted to stay , but with IN 26 construction, I knew I would be too tired to drive, if I waited any longer. It was a very long night, but I have sat through long track reworks at other places too. It will take twice as long to rework a half mile as it will a quarter mile. Its just the way it is. There were a lot of cars. This is why I am not hung up on large car counts. There is no such thing as a huge car count, and a quick show.
In the recent past the program had less cars and was probably over too quickly, so to add to the program, they added the wing cars. Now the numbers appear to be on the upswing. Maybe it is time to go back to a 2 day format. I am sure the people at Eldora are probably evaluating things even today. I have been around Larry Boos many times, and he is a hard working perfectionist. I am sure he and Roger Slack( who I have only met once) are already trying to solve the problems from last night. A long night, but not the end of the world.
As I said a couple of days ago, I have only missed the first 4 crown, and 1984, and that was by far the biggest crowd I have seen. Hopefully things will be learned and improved on.
