Whitewater was famous. Show up. Race cancelled. Burg happened often if the river had been up.
It's so rare to see an Eldora show canceled without the all nighter effort put in. Of course I only have gone there for the big late model races, a Kings Royal & the Mopar Million & the Mopar Thunder the following year. I'm sure they were much quicker to pull the plug on a standalone USAC or outlaw show like they used to have back in the day. Very few standalone events there these days. Looking at this year I think it's only the Ohio sprint speedweek show in June that is a 1 nighter with a major sanctioned group.
