I know what your saying, I've always said I go to Eldora once a year, to remember why I go to Eldora once a year. I haven't been this year and doubt I will.

That being said, if you're from the west coast you may wanna try it once. With Stewart and Kahne racing everyone will be on there best behavior!

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.

If you do go to Bloomington in the future, stop over in Dearborn and pick me up on your way down. I'll even pop for the burgers at Millers.

Well I went to twin Cities last night and really enjoyed it the surroundings that are in place at this track are incredible if we had that many houses around a track back home they would close it down for noise.

Ya I can see where it needs work but I didnt care I want to see racing and it was a good show feek bad for Brady Short he was having a great battle with Dickey Gaines.

They do need some better signs to find the place for us out of towners it took me a while to find it ha ha.Well I'm at TerreHaute this is the track i'm most excited to see since I was a lttle kid so I pumped to go watch some 1/2 mile dirt slinging seeya

Good luck sitting in turn 1 at TSS. Youve got to get there REALLY early to sit on the highway side, plus, you have to deal with the sun in your face until it goes below the backstretch stands.

Personally, I would sit right above the concession stand in the backstretch.

Glad you are really enjoying the trip. Indiana certainly has some great racing.
