The idea that dirt tracks are by nature must be dusty is nonsense. Yes, on a hot, breezy day race and even sometimes a night race there is only so much you can do. This dust thing is something that fans have unfortunately came think is normal. I saw my first race at Eldora in 1967 and I can assure you no one was wearing goggles or bandanas over their face. Specifically at Eldora this problem had been exacerbated by the lack of quality surface material, big soft tires, reconfigured track, and yes a lack of track prep or prep that tries to satisfy a multitude of car types. I always extol the virtues of Sprint cars on dirt to non fans. If I taken a newbie to the 4 Crown where they could write their name in the dust on their seat they would never attend another dirt race. Also, what current sports fan would sit through an 7 hour event. We are victimizing ourselves and our sport by enduring such nonsense.
