Eldora taking their sweet time making an anoucement.

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

No, an announcement is a must

If it makes you feel better. Its not really an unknown.

[golddirt]

It is unknown, do I expect it to run in june? No. I want to know if it will be ran later in year or cancelled for 2020. What’s so difficult for you to understand that

Does the governor still have ohio locked down ? He's the problem. O u wants that stadium full come fall football. He could care less about eldora.

I think the long waiting announcement means 1 of 2 things.

1.) They have either found a way to have the dream on the scheduled date. Maybe PPV

or

2.) They're waiting until the very last second to cancel the event completely incase Ohio changes things quick.


In my opinion, if it was going to be ran later in the year, why wouldn't they just go ahead and announce a postponement until later in 2020?

Having this event as PPV only would be the worst case scenario. There is no way you can pay that giant 3 day purse with PPV audience. I am also one that hates watching races on TV and love the experience. This will most likely be rescheduled until October from everything I've been hearing here in Ohio.

Tony Stewart is worth over 50 millions dollars and has numerous corporate sponsors. If they had to eat a 300k for this it would not be the end of world. Eldora makes a ton of profit year after year. I would think he could find some sponsor help easily if needed.

I've been thinking the week after the DTWC (22nd - 24th) for a while now. Both national series are off that weekend. Lucas is done & WoO is off until World Finals. Just a hunch on my part.

I have my tickets & will be there whether it's 90 or 40 out. Been to every one since 07 & don't plan to miss.

You could be right, but if so, you're taking a huge chance with weather running it that late in the year. I can't imagine how cold it could be up there.

[foxfire2dirtracing]

Just my opinion: October 22-24. Lucas is finished & WOO is off .
Heck- I am like everyone else- waiting on an announcement!

[chathamracefan]

Pennsboro - no doubt a chance of cold weather. That time of year would allow for day racing if needed (or at least a late afternoon start) to have better temp conditions. Track won't burn up as fast in cooler weather vs the hot summer June sun.

Not an ideal situation, but better than nothing. Covered stands would help keep things warmer under the roof for a decent portion of the crowd as well.

[thexfactor0210]

With the sales stopped as listed on their website it seems clear this will not happen in June. October sounds good to me!

[Dlmfan123]

The dirt late model worlds dream week!!

[foxfire2dirtracing]

The only problem with having the Dream & world the same week would be with the camping reservations. Not everyone attends both races & different days for different folks who would be coming.
How would Eldora jungle the camper reservations to be able to keep peace with all campers?
FWIW: I don’t camp- & having nothing races the same week works for me- we check in on Monday prior to both races anyway.

[t4g2]

All races in June have been taken off sale. So for sure moving things back. They ran in October last year for a race. Yes it was pretty cold for camping.

[WisWildManFan]

I think they are just waiting it out to try to race on scheduled days. I got a pair of tickets yesterday just in case it’s a limited crowd event. I usually just buy when I show up but I would feel pretty stupid if I couldn’t go because I didn’t buy my tickets in advance.
