      good possibility. I`ve heard some guys were fixing there cars. Some said screw it we`ll go somewhere else. that's what we choose to do. Several not happy about it. It`s being said that if the plate isn`t welded to the door bars from front to back and top door bar to the bottom frame rail you won`t race

                  I was there. 15 late models is a disgrace. The new safety rules that no one seemed to know about until just recently combined with the 1990 pay out did this. Come on Eldora you need to fix this!! 2000 to win a late model race in 2017 is a joke. The stocks feature was the best race of the night

                    The 1990 payout used to not matter. Track time was so important. I think the new 3 day format at the big events has put less a premium on these events. The door plate rule sunk them for sure.

                        It's not just the $2k to win. It's the $2k to win, at Eldora.

                          I think they should have kept the rules the same as last year and all ALMS races at Eldora should pay 5,000 to win and 300 to start with 100 tow money. Also the mods should pay 1,000 to win and 150 to start with 60 tow money and stocks 650 to win and 75 to start with 40 tow money. And would have gotten more cars.

                              Normally I would strongly disagree with tracks always raising purses. It's easy to expect tracks to throw every last ounce of profits to drivers who helped contribute to soaring cost of racing. But in this case Eldora is an extremely profitable race track. And it's time to give some back to the drivers. I'll be honest I live in Tipp city ohio, 45 minutes from eldora. Last night I had a hunch eldora was going to be dismal at best and headed to florence for the spring 50 and saw one of the greatest races I have seen in years. 50 lap late model feature 31 supers there, 21 mods, 20 crates, and 12 hornets for 22 bucks. Eldora had 15 supers for 25 laps, and low count in other divisions also for 18 bucks including 3 for my seat. So basically 4 dollars for twice the racing. Eldora was very expensive for that race.
