I have ran both and they are both very fast!!! At Eldora you feel like you keep the same very fast pace throughout a lap...kinda like going 100mph on the road...you dont feel the spped till you get near the fence or pass a car......at the burg you feel the speed at many times during one lap...i think it has to do with the up hill-down hill straight aways that load and unload the car...it feels like the bottom of a huge roller coaster hill you get the zero to 60 feeling in a second! Both are fun and can kill a car quick!

Lawrenceburg hands down the place to be.

Eldora is flat out fast, but the 'Burg is high speed ballet. It's amazingly beautiful to watch the best in dirt track racing blister those banks.

Did anyone notice the sizable car count dropoff for Indiana Midget Week at Lawrenceburg? I think that had alot to do with the fact that you need a huge set BALLS to run there.

The 410 non wing record is 14.712. This works out to 122.3 MPH by Jerry Coons Jr. on 9/23/06. The winged record of 12.707 was set by Craig Dollansky on 4/13/02. This works out to 141.65 MPH.

All from Eldora website.

I was unable to find the Lawrenceburg track record on their website.

Without getting into the whole where do you measure a track at argument-it's common knowledge that Eldora is not a half-mile track. It's really only about a 7/16. When you factor that into the speed formula, it drops it down some. Eldora is still way faster than the burg, but (as much I love Eldora) the burg is almost always the place to be.

Unless you're getting run over by another car.
