To watch the best of the best, all the drivers, in non-wing at Haubstadt is something not to be missed your first sprint week Doug.
Doug come on down to Haubstadt but let us know where you will be sitting so we can have a pillow there for when your chin drops Hope you have had a great time and we;ll see you next year at sprint week again

Having never attended a race at Bloomington, I don't know what you'd be missing out on. But wouldn't heading to Eldora for Friday nights NRA Invaders and WoO show be worth the trip. This would all depend on if and when you plan on returning to In/Oh.

I know I'm promoting wings in Ohio, just saying big events at Eldora, the history, the place is something to take in.

I'd go to the IMS Museum if you haven't been there yet.

You can also see TSR's newest talent Jessica Zemken, who has 3 wins, and a second in 6 starts this month.

And I'll have my rear end happily planted in a lawn chair somewhere on the Bloomington hillside, looking out over the reddest of clay and greenest of grass there is to be found at a race track. I'm a happy camper before the cars even take to the track. Miss Bloomington for the "new and improved" Eldora? Not in this lifetime

Diggsy,

I don't/can't disagree with you. Eldora is 3.5 hours, Bloomington is 5.5 hours from home. I'll be waiting out the forecast, watching 10 mod's, 7-8 late models, 13 street stocks and 17 minis. That's only 1 hour from home, and in my own country. Or I'll be watching the million dollar Legends race on Speed.

You guys got it good. I've seen photos of Bloomington, and will probably watch the stream (if it's live). Hope to make it down next season.

Eldora is a dust bowl I wouldn;t walk across the street for a race there anymore if I got in for free

I completely understand the ease of convenience and location. You decide to come to Bloomington sometime, you let me know. We'll be sure to have a spot with your name on it
