Been going there for more than 40 years and yes I have seen dust their before. This time it went to a new all time dust high. You had to be there to believe it. Larry told me last night he did not think the track would be any good so you have to give him credit on being right.
Yea so I just got home from USED to be my favorite place to go see a race at. That being said it will be a long time before I go back. That was the worst excuse for a track I have ever seen and I can't see 24 hours making any difference and as far as the rumor or refunds not happening so that is about 80 dollars and 5 hours of my life I'll never get back
The last four years that we went to eldora, we came home
mad and said we were never going back.
Tonight was our final night. Everything`s nice except
what the people pay to see---good racing.
There are too many good track`s such as gas city,
kokomo, larenceburg putnamville, bloomington, to put up
with the non caring people at the big e .
Hmmmm....Perhaps we need an outside ruling on just what qualifies as "extensive" and "lengthy". If this was a week's worth of tireless efforts, then they simply do not have the proper type of dirt on that facility. If it was hurried and last-minute, well....that's something else again.
