    Default Eldora Thursday Friday format.

    What does everyday think of the 12 heat races that were just 10 laps?

    I thought it was boring and too long and drawn out, drivers can't really get rolling in just 10 laps especially if there is a caution. I say double up the cars and make the heats 15 laps and take top 6 instead of top 3.

    Don't have to be a promoter , just aperson that is there and helping pay the bills. THIS ONE OF THE REASON PEOPLE ARE BITCHING PAY GOOD MONEY AND NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE ANY OR HALF DESCEND RACING.

    What 1/2 mile track produces good side by side racing for x many of laps. I have never been to one.

    The dreaded aero push comes into play at those speeds!

    Ill have to disagree with ya. Not many passes for the lead there either. The cars get strung out pretty quick. If I'm wrong, tell me how many passes for the lead have there been in the last couple years?

    There were 4 passes for the lead last year in the 100 lapper....

    Birkhofer started on pole.
    Lanigan
    Birkhofer
    Bloomquist

    Don't focus on the race for the lead all the time. Racing is very good through the field.

    You must realize cutman. That all of us "Males" were trapped in a woman's body at one time. That's what my Mother told me.

Not enough fans showed up or to meany?

    Not knocking Eldora but the World is a gimmick race determined by luck. Not saying the racing is not good but one has to be lucky with the inverts and wheel spin. Lots of fast guys miss this race every year because of inverts.

    I do agree, 8 lap heats for a race of this magnitude is not enough. 12 - 15 would be better in my opinion.

    the thursday and friday heats are only 8 laps. i would like to see them get rid of time trials and start the thursday and friday heats off pill draw and run 12 lap heats and 15 lap b mains. with 100 or so cars there is only 8 or 9 cars in a heat so 12 laps would be enough time to advance if you have a good car

    You can attribute a significant part of that to the format (the majority of each heat is inverted).
