    Dream week!!!

    Making my first trip to Eldora this year. Getting quite excited. Was wondering if y’all would fill me in on some Eldora musts and pointers. Such as places to enjoy breakfast, lunch, or things to do around the track. Thanks in advance

      An absolute MUST is to watch hot laps at least one night from the infield. Stand right up on the turn 3 infield wall and you'll get a true appreciation of the speed they carry around that place.

            St.Henry Nite Club in St Henry is a must as is the Wagon Wheel in Burkettsville 5 mins north of the track. The Whistle Stop in Ansonia 10 mins south is great too!

                      Must have a lot more to do there then when I went to the World in '83. We went to Dayton to find some fun... One of our guys got kidnapped, we were threatened by the local drug dealers because we must have looked like UC cops and we chased away their customers.

                      We got our guy back after paying a $100.00 ransom to some street tuff's who had Chris locked up in the backroom of a seedy bar.

                      The hookers were ugly.

                          Yes sir! Youre welcome!

                          Yes get them at either ticket office I think.

                          I always just go get a 3 day pit pass and sit in General Admission

                            Yep, must watch some qualifying from the infield, at least something that is if you want to save your money for pit pass on Saturday only. For the upgrade price if you're going all 3 days no brainer.

                            St. Henry night club breakfast Saturday, buffet, they even have shuttles that pick up at the track and drop off at the track.

                            Hot Cheese Balls and Hot Wings from the concessions. Bring a small cooler if you drink, beer is cheap and they will top you off with ice each time which is nice.

                            We always sit in turns 1-2 and always plenty of seating there. Top of the bleachers is a great spot, we have top row so we can stand.

                            Saint Henry has a nice IGA and TrueValue and Dollar General, really no reason to go into Greenville unless you must go to TSC, Lowes, or Wally. Everything can be had in Saint Henry.

                            After party Thursday sucks anymore IMHO, just too drunk and too many people wanting to fight. If you're camping it's much more fun to just hangout at the campsite and meet people.

                            Don't get kicked out or too drunk to watch the races, you'll regret it.

                              I would vouch for the Whistle Stop pizza. Very good! Must have a pizza burger from the concession stand at least once. Hot wings are good also. There will be several vendors that bring in food trailers as well. All in all, Eldora is top shelf entertainment.
