I lived in Dayton, OH area in the late 70’s and never missed a sprint race at a Eldora during my time there. I went to WoO shows and USAC shows, and open competition shows. I know this will be greeted with derision, but not every race there was a great race. There was many a race we went to that was so dusty you couldn’t hardly see the cars on the backstretch. There were races where there was very little passing because the track was 1 groove. Yes, I was fortunate to witness some incredible racing there, but I also witnessed some dust bowls and snoozers. No dirt track is perfect, but unfortunately, over time many of us remember them as such.
