Pavement racing died out. Terre Haute and Eldora switched to a more powdery type of dirt that is more dusty at night and unraceable during the day. As far as calcium chloride, I know of one track that still uses it according to a track employee I spoke with. I actually like it and have seen many good day races. They have a different atmosphere that seems more prestigious for special races. Another plus is getting home early or catching another race that night. I remember some big crowds during the day, especially at Winchester. I quit watching the NFL so I'm free on Sunday's!
