As I did last nite, eldora is one of the few tracks that I will take a new fan too, especially a female. Because the restrooms are big & clean, concessions are good, they start on time & new fan wouldn't know a good race from a not so good race. We went and had a great time even tho it rained out.

It absolutely boggles my mind that veteran race fans would go to a half mile track and still expect the same thing they see on a bull ring. Half miles are a completely different style of racing. The speeds are much higher, the drivers have to be more calculating in the risk, the repercussions are more if they are wrong, things take longer to set-up, etc. It's much more of a poetry in motion race than a cushion pounding thrill ride of a short track.

.....AND the 17th is the night before Indiana Sprint Week starts at Gas City. Even though it is across the border, it is like ISW just got bigger.

Win/win for both wing and non-wing fans.

I had a great time the track was the best I have seen it in a long time. 37 USAC sprints on a well prepared half mile, loved every minute of it. Cars going well over a 100 miles an hour whats not to like about that. My favorite sprints on a 1/2 mile friends and family and cold beer doesn't get any better.

Then after the race, you have the limo drive them home and on the way, stop to feed them and get them laid as well. And, do you know what? Some of them would still complain!

Yeah, the limo driver had bad breath. . . .
