Yes Sir! Last night was a sprint car fans delight, Classic Eldora:
*On the fence with high speed and high level of precision and execution against the wall
* Sliders at 130mph using the fence as a backstop
* Winner came from 6th
* The race had leader action for all 40 laps
* Three different leaders
* The race for second had 5 cars all contesting until the lap 30 yellow
* I was back home in Indy by 11pm

I think all 25,000 fans enjoyed that one even if your guy didn't win.

Thank you. Sounds like you had a great time. I'm glad that you're not here just to stir the pot.

I look forward to watching it once it's free on Dirtvision.

Who's my guy? And The Greatest show on dirt got beat for the fourth consecutive time at Eldora. Sunshine, Larson, Marks and Marks.

Couple thoughts. It sure looked on tv as a huge crowd, as big as World 100 crowds if not bigger. So much for streaming keeping people away. Good racing outside of the heat races last night. Winged heat races usually produce glorified hotlap session. However the other night when they spun the wheel to get the 5 invert it was better. Back to the original topic. I don’t see a downside to this at all. I think it’s great to have a weekday big money sprint race you can watch on Flo, like the late model series they already have. I also think it’s great it’s coming to LPS. Really cool the great Kyle Larson calls it one of his favorite tracks. I know many of you feel the same way. Great to see them get the spotlight of the inaugural event of what should become a popular series. I hope they stay on the schedule going forward. If things go well it could be a huge positive advertisement for the Hoosier state dirt track. Would we love to see it wingless? Hell yes many of us would. But let me share an unfortunate truth. The demand for wingless is not there. Example, here we are going into one of the best stretches of events in sprint car racing, Indiana Sprint Week, and outside of USAC posts on Twitter, extremely low national attention. Now to be clear I don’t follow everyone, or see all posts, but there’s a very noticeable difference in exposure level. And as long as our reluctance to promote and support big events continue, well.....

Not sure who you guy is or isn't and its irrelevant to post. The point was, if you're a fan of the sport you walked away and felt like you got your $'s worth even if your driver you wanted to win didn't.

Personally, I could care less if an Outlaw, All Star or Posse won....I saw a good race and that's all that matters.

I didn't realize Gravel left the tour prior to the start of the week?
