maybe they should put velcro on the drivers suits, so they could just change the maufacturer and sponcorship logo's w/o changing the suits?

Excellent racing last night regardless of the car count. However, the count is concerning. At this rate of decline the 4-Crown will under go more format change because there will not be enough midgets or SC to run a program. I do not want to start another midget or SC debate but bottom line is it is past time for some action. Midgets at Eldora make you hold your breath, hope I get the chance to witness this for years to come.

Had a very enjoyable evening; it was cool, but the Patio seats under the roof take care of a lot of the problem of the cold temperatures. An amazing difference when you leave the confines of the covered grandstand!
So glad to see Kyle Larson walk away from that accident; it was a very violent impact.
Car counts were a little disappointing, especially the midget and Silver Crown. Dave Darland was snakebit in the midget and Silver Crown cars, but nearly pulled off the win in the sprints.

The racing all night was awesome! This was my first trip to Eldora and I have to say that I was just in awe all night long at the place!

I was actually kind of down on the midgets after seeing hot laps through the heats. Right before the feature one of my buddies said lets go in turn 3 and watch the midget feature, it will be the best one of the night. I laughed at him and said ya right. Needless to say I was proven very wrong. The midget feature was incredible!

Hope I can go back next year and the car counts can come up in the midgets and champ cars. I think a fuel change and actual promotion would help champ cars. As far as the midgets, the engines are so exotic anymore. I think I counted at least 5 that blew up (all toyota's) and I may have missed a couple. I honestly dont know the answer to that one.

All in all it was a great night of racing!

Going to a Usac midget pits is like going to an Indy car pit all about the money.
