Yeah, Indiana is great and all, but Eldora is still a hell of a lot of fun with anything on the track. A show with only WoO and 360w is a good time. My Pop is hitting B'ton Friday and we'll be at the Big E Saturday.

I agree that turn 4 on the concrete is an awesome spot. I also like to watch hot laps and time from inside of turn 3. The cars are way above you, up on the banks and you can see under the wing what the driver is doing and hear/feel who is holding it down and who is lifting.

Skip the pit pass, you can't see crap from the infield.
Get the pit pass it cool watching hotlaps in the infield and a heat or 2, the pit pass is well worth the $30. your picking a good show the non wing races will be boring after you see real sprint cars at eldora!

I agree turn 4 is a great view, but if you sit there it won't make any difference which way the wind is blowing. The wings will push the air and dirt into that area regardless. I've seen the first 25 Kings Royals, but will be missing it this year for Bloomington and Haubstadt.

I usually get the pit pass, watching cars run from the infield at Eldora is pretty cool. Then sit in turn 4 bleachers. The pit entry tunnel is a pretty far walk from the stands. Also 12 packs iced down are $20.

Live ten minutes away from track and will not be attending the high speed freight train show. Going to watch my buddies kid run his quarter midget instead, those little kids gas it up on those tiny little tracks, with elbows up.
