Where were all the midgets that should have been at Eldora?

That is about what I expected. Big tracks are tough on little motors.

I took a Eldora first timer with me Saturday.
He’d ask how many midgets could he expect, I replied 20-25.
I gotta tell you, I’d pay again to see those 20 midgets battle it out at Eldora again.
I’d been somewhat critical of Eldora the last several years.
I gotta say I was very impressed with every aspect of how that event was ran. If Eldora is ran like it was Saturday, I’ll be back sooner than later. BTW the Eldora newbie I took was completely impressed and looking forward to returning.

I’ve got more to say about the 4 Crowns but I want to make this statement first and let it sink in a minute. The best part of my weekend was giving Brent T Funk a hug. After all he’s been through and his unexpected appearance, Made my weekend!

Midget count was better than some recent years. However the Winged sprint support was pathetic. Especially for the All Stars only appearance at Eldora.


NW Sprint and Champ support. Excellent

I wouldn’t call a full field pathetic especially with atomic running & lernerville running WoO. With Eldoras reputation about motors I was surprised they had 24

Great news!!!!

What was so pathetic about it?

Yep, they kept a big program running efficiently. I only watched on on DIRT & FLO, but it got done at a reasonable hour..... unlike my one live visit, when they worked the track for an hour (or 2?) before features

It seems there are always complaints about Eldora whether it is too dusty or the program takes too long. I have attended several 4 Crown events and enjoyed every one of them, even the 24 hours of Eldora many years ago. Yes, dust has been a problem at times but the track is such an iconic place that for me it is always fun. I live in FL now and just can’t make it to the Midwest for many events but hope to return for another Eldora event or two before I leave this earth.
