I hate to admit it, but just like the Indycar series, the local tracks can't afford to buck the NFL in the fall... It's too easy to sit at home with the TV on.... But that's not all of it...

I agree with Charles... Dust control is tough in the daytime...

Many folks were complaining about last weekend's race at Eldora. In the years prior to 1985, we had the World 100 on Sunday afternoon. We chewed a little dust, but the racing was great. Switched to Saturday night, or, as we saw this past weekend with the 4-Crown, Saturday/Sunday, and it has turned into a drunk fest. Years ago, our local track switched from Saturday nights to Sunday afternoons once the weather got a little chilly. It was a great time to take the FAMILY to the racetrack. Would you want to take a 10 year old kid to the 4-crown or World 100 under today's Saturday night scheduling?
