    If anyone watched the Kings Royal or 4 crown from Eldora, you would have seen great racing, still to dusty but great racing! Nobody wants to address the elephant in the room. Technology is killing dirt late model racing, too much aero, too much on shocks, and so on! Once these cars get out front in open air, they check out. Im not sure what eldora can do to fix, other than removing most of the banking. The actual cars are killing the sport. Even Bloomquist a few years ago admitted Eldora is 99% car, 1% driver. He was right.

    Because Eldora is Eldora, they can do whatever they want. They could easily tell UMP that the race will be run with their rules, but no spoiler.

    There’s a reason I find myself more attracted to open wheel non-wing sprints and midgets than in the past and less enthused about open late models. Even winged sprints and modifieds provide more entertainment than late models. I skipped the Show Me this past Memorial Day, few years back would have never believed that.
    I hate time trials.

    ^^they have maintained the same car for decades and they race really well without all the aero baggage.

    Belleville $50k dates have been moved to Monday-Tuesday June 13-14 so as not to compete with the Dream. How many drivers will make the 11-12 hours drive on Sunday after the Dream to go there?

    With the adjustment to Monday/Tuesday, this will be pretty cool now to see who makes that trip! Kudos on the move

    Well I don't understand why they want to run up against eldora a bad idea but I wouldn't be surprised if Tony upped the purse just because he can.

    I wish I could take that much time off at once and had the disposable cash all at once. It would be nice to attend both but not possible for me.

    It's a struggle sometimes just to get one day off a week. Requesting a day off requires getting interrogated first.

Now lets see what they do and will they be respected once all said and done or will the drivers and fans say enough already.



    This is what I was going to post so no sense repeating it.

    LM1, where did you get your information from that Belleville moved it's races to Monday and Tuesday. I am not saying it is right or wrong just would like to know where you got your information.
