I went last night not expecting much but ended up a very good night. 360’s, mods & stock cars. And it was a massive crowd. Not quite a kings Royal crowd but close, I’d guess 15K people…
Maybe other tracks could take note that not everyone can afford $20-$30 tickets

Did you do the Fri Wing show at Moler, I had no idea it was going on. I know Cole Duncan was there. Shame a track 30mi from me and nobody says anything anwhere about it.

Look at the lack of crowds at Raceway Park.... and this oval series is paying large dollars

I also went and my first thought was the crowd size. I have seen smaller crowds at 4 crowns and the Thursday night at the dream weekend. I left after the 360 feature but had Flo on during my drive home. I was surprised they did the fireworks last, but great job by Eldora on putting on a great show last night!!

Last night was Family Fireworks #2. Last summer I spoke with Jerry, complimenting him on his role at Eldora. I asked him if he had any future plans for Eldora. He told me he wanted to add some more family nights for local fans and racers. The photos I've seen on social media looked so cool for the fans. Everyone invited to the pit area to meet drivers, bounce houses for kids, games, driver autographs, photo opps, and a massive fireworks show to close the night. Plus an affordable night of great racing. Well done Jerry in your spirit, you'd have been proud.
