Eldora weather ...Saturday

Tony if this really is you thanks for answering. But with a 5 hour drive 1 way I just cant take the chance that I'll get to see a race. And for that I'm sad as I used to love 3 or 4 trip a year there.[/I]

If this is really Tony??? I love to have a constructive conversation about how I feel about Eldora and the state of operations there. I commend you for all the vast improvements to the facility which are now second to none. Except for the racing surface itself, and some how Eldora has lost touch with the average fan. These things can be corrected easily. I live north of Dayton and have been a huge supporter of Eldora for my whole life but I just dont think your seeing the big picture with the average fan. I know you want whats best for Eldora and its great history. If interested, please pm me a way to talk to you to bring Eldora back to its once must see status.

Sincerly, Brent Furay

Really? Perhaps you could get in touch with Mr. Warren Buffet and give him some investment advice while you're at it. Wow

I drove through rain almost the entire drive home after the plug was pulled. Blue skys and warmer temps greated me as I pulled into my driveway. Sometimes you just can't win. So whoever pulled the plug for tonight made the right call. There was standing water all over the place along the way. So if there was wet issues last night, I don't see how they could race tonight.

I appreciate Tony getting on here to comment. Sometimes when there is nothing said after a situation like last night (by anybody at Eldora), fans feel like they are ignored. Appreciate commenting.....

If it really is Tony, First Off, I respect you as a racer and a employer of many and last not but not least. The Charities you help support..

But honestly. This is not good PR throwing blame around, So your track wasn't ready for USAC yesteday, But it may have been today?

Nevermind the fans....................

Best wishes,

Tony you have put a lot back into the sport that made you what you are but you are letting this one go to far.

Superduke - while it really doesnt matter what your weather was like in Sidney yesterday, I did find it hard to believe it was sunny and 69 at 3:45 so I went to the national weather service website and looked up their official records for yesterdays weather for Sidney, Ohio. It shows that at 3:56 pm (15:56 below), it was 56 degrees with the conditions listed as fog/mist. Again, really doesnt matter, but I feel like someone needs to keep you on your toes around here.
