I’ll start by saying we were NOT at Eldora either Friday or Saturday night. Just too far to travel at this point in my life. I went to Eldora a great deal in the latter 70’s and up to the mid 80’s when we lived in Dayton Ohio. Back then, the vast majority of the races at Eldora were day races, although there were a few night races. That said, I think I can count on one hand the number of times I saw Eldora as dusty as it appeared to be on Saturday night. Yes, I know tires are wider and of different design, construction and materials, but other tracks are running programs with near the amount of cars with less dust.
I really don’t know what the answer is, but it was obvious on TV that by the time the midget feature was done, the crowd was down to less than probably 25% of the start of the night. $50 to leave before the show is complete is not something I can imagine lots of people will do again.
