Eldora Question

[dirt junkie]

Cool I was wondering about getting a drink and restrooms if any was over there or if you half to walk to the main grandstands...and I dont smoke but my cousin does I know there was a designated spot behind the main grandstands to smoke idk if there are other areas? Anybody know?

Yes there's a smoking corral behind the grandstands between sections NE and NF. The jumbo screen is visible from there too. We sat in section NI one row from the top last year and were satisfied with the view. You'll lose them if they are on the bottom in 1-2 for a short amount of time. Same thing if they're on the top in 3-4. Not a deal breaker for me though. I like that area better than the main grandstand because of the congestion.
This past year was our first trip there and it was awesome and then some. Already renewed our tickets and campsite for this coming year. You'll love it!

Tony can't do that. Might invade his firework area.

The fireworks aren’t so much a Tony Stewart thing, Roger Slack is the is the one that likes things things that go boom and fire.

NASCAR tracks added seats by the 10's of thousands and have since taken 10's of thousands of them back out and the tracks that haven't taken seats out (see Bristol, Indy & Richmond among a few others) the stands look deserted on race day. Would adding a bunch of new seats to Eldora be a good idea in the long run? The jury is still out on that but NASCAR tracks thought it was a great idea and look how that turned out.The seats in turn 4 at Eldora are good, especially if they're towards the top. You're going to lose sight of the cars if they're running up by the wall in 4 but it's just for a short time.

Your first World 100.......you are in for a heck of a treat! I love that track and that race.

This first time will be a treat, for sure. When the first race on Saturday night rolls out of the turn 1 pit gate you'll likely get some goose bumps and you'll likely get those same goose bumps at that moment every time you attend the World.

Just a word of caution, do not allow anything that you wish not to be stolen to be unguarded or not secured to the point of overkill. There are race fans who are also thieves among you at the World and you could easily be a victim if you don't take proper precautions.

I know it's a long way off but sometimes the anticipation is almost as good as the show. Have a great time!!

Welcome to the WORLD 100 Illstate 32. Greatest race at the greatest race track on earth. You'll love it. I don't think there's any seat that you can see the whole track all the time so you have good seats. The atmosphere makes it worth it no matter where you sit

Agree with you on all points unless your trying to drop a couple grand on the VIP seating in turns three and four.

Don't mean to nitpick but our seats are in the top 3 rows in Sec. D of the main grandstands and we can definitely see the whole track. The only time our sight lines are obscured is if a car, or cars, get real low going into turn #3. If they run a normal Eldora racing line we can see them all the way around.
