They have had to rework the track every year with 3 divisions. Now they add a fourth and didn't think it was going to be problem. Needed to start practice a long time before 5:00 because you knew they were gonna have to rework it after TT and that is at minimum a 2 hour job at Eldora.
I've been to 3 races this year with Stewart in attendance and while I love what the guy has done for short track racing, he has to know that not everyone keeps the hours he does. Seen a lot of kids and families leaving during the tractor races (I doubt any of them return). Talked to four different people who were at Eldora for the first time. Can't imagine they will be back.
The track was great after the rework. I left after Swanson spun from second in SC race. Got home at 4:30.....same time I will get up for work tomorrow.
