I'm jumping in on this one .
Where is Earl Baltes when you need him? A promoter's promoter if there ever was one. Seems like that was a 100 years ago.Boy does Eldora miss him.

I avoided this one because the way the track was for the 4 crown. Seems like they haven't touched it since then. As others have stated here, just because its Dustdora, doesn't mean you can go by name only. It is getting a reputation lately that keeps fans away, not drawing them in.

It isn't my money Tony is spending, but it also not my money he is going to get. Eventually he'll have to decide wether he wants to keep losing money, because if this continues he won't draw anybody.

North Vernon for me tomorrow.

Dave, I'll be making my way over from New Jersey to support your track and USAC. Please water freely as I want to "see" what the new track is like.

Hope your very sucessful with this show. I wish that the promoters here in Jersey would be more like you.

These two weeks can't get hear soon enough.

Good Luck
JERSEY

They have now sent the drivers into the stands to sign autographs! They aren't even close to racing.

Three pages of posts and they haven't turned a competitive lap yet. I have seen rain delays and sun delays but a dust delay? That's terrible.

I really loved going to Eldora. Even though it is over 290 miles from my house, every mile was worth it. No more. I stopped going when it became a dust bowl consistently. I will not drive that far and spend that amount of money for a dust bowl. I agree with racephoto1, where is Earl when you need him. And are the new bleachers supposed to make things better?

A sad time for a great track. I hope that Tony does something soon to return the Big E to its former greatness.
