    I would suggest getting a reserved seat for Friday unless you just want to sit in the GA area. Thursday is usually pretty open but Friday fills up pretty nicely.

      Forgot a couple DO'S
      1: IF u r gonna be there for a couple days. Make the short trip straight down 118 and get u a pizza and breadstick from Whistle Stop!
      2: TAKE A GOLF CART to see the most of the whole place! North side is the smallest campground there but dont limit yourself, get over across the highway and check out the others.... we have stayed at ALL of them and Speedy is by a looooong shot the best one....

                    My take is this: you're going to have people tell you this and tell you that. Here's my $.02......Go enjoy yourself, let everything sink in, take a walk around on both sides of the highway and check out all the sites and sounds. Take pictures, they last a lifetime. I've been to every World since 1989 and to me, there's nothing else like it. ENJOY YOURSELF!!

                      I got ya' beat by 5 years, Mod. First year at the World was 1984 and we got to see Jeff Purvis win his 1st of 2 World's. Got to see bloomy win his first 3. Watched the Boggs boys win it along with Steve Francis and Donnie Moran. Our group of 8 people in 3 campers stopped going 10 years ago for reasons stated in post #5. The first time at the World is overwhelming! Even back in '84 it was incredible. Drink in (no pun intended) as much as you can because your first time there only happens once.

                      I've only been to 3 other dirt track events that surpass The World Hundred for excitement, significance and relevance and one of those 3 no longer exists. Those 3 are The Chili Bowl, The Knoxville Sprint Nationals and the Western World Championships when it was held at Manzanita Speedway. No other dirt events I've ever attended comes close to those 4.

                      While you're at Eldora for the World don't miss anything if you can help it. Just be sure to take precautions with your stuff.

                        Don't stand on top of a motor home naked with a beer in your hand!! (Ran into that two years in a row a long time back)

                        Do shoot the speakers out with a shotgun!!!

                          Thanks for the tips guys. It'll be my first vacation away from work in almost 12 months. Plan to drink for the better part of 72 hours. Really looking forward to the trip.

                          And for you Blackie, how dare you curse me that way😆😆 No Bobby bunch around my house. Anybody but Bobby is more like it!! They lost me with that hideous t-shirt

                            Toilet water and Texas Tenderloin are a must along with standing in turn 1 or 3 during hot laps. A cheap poncho and safety glasses will make your life better in the turns.

                              As mentioned, Do goto the pits for the turn 3 view of them coming down the backstretch and diving into the corner.
                              Don't do it after qualifying or you are liable to miss some of the heats/consi/feature action just from the 20 minute walk back around to the main grandstands (my rookie Eldora mistake, thinkin "I'll just go down to the pits real quick before this Bmain" - missed it)
