I have to say that there’s some good overall, but disappointed with the order of events. Once again USAC fans get held hostage by the wings. As many of you know, this is our favorite event of the year, and a family tradition since it began. When it began, it was a USAC stand alone event that was also 3 days of racing. 4 USAC classes Friday,Saturday, and Sunday. I don’t mind going back to 3 days. You don’t have to look hard around IOW to find folks complaining about wings added to the Saturday program. I’m not one of those, but what I will complain about is that the USAC portion should’ve been Friday and Saturday this time so all of the folks who could do without the wings can go and only have to deal with them on Saturday. Now we go on Thursday, for what we go for in the first place, and then we reluctantly go Friday, because we’re there and going back home isn’t an option. It seems to me that Eldora missed a shot at throwing a bone to USAC fans. Fans like me that have been going there since the mid 70’s for USAC. In theory it should make for a more efficient Saturday, which is good, but I could do without a night of wings and another ticket purchase
