Why?????? I don't consider this a crown jewel. Support classes belong on the weekly program and maybe one when LODLMS or WOO are in town for a regular 10/12K race. Do they run support classes normally for DTWC? If so, glad I know to never attend in the future.

I don't know about the support classes but why does a promoter hold a event with only heat races, then makes the fans come back and pony up again the next day for the A Main? If you have a huge car count with 8-10 heat races maybe but those days are behind us now. Even Eldora has scrapped that old format. I'm sure the place is packed so more power to Carl but eventually fans are going to wise up and realize they can get a whole lot more bang for their buck.8/13/16 -
Oh yeah, and the format absolutely sucks. Yeah it pays 100K, but as is I will never attend.Comment

Yes Carl Short has always ran support classes for the Hillbilly Hundred and DTWC going back to the Pennsboro days.Originally posted by BirkyTime15B View PostComment

These reasons, and others, are why I haven’t been to a DTWC in almost 20 years — after attending just about all of them before that.Comment

I kind of like a support class or two, within reason. Not a Class that draws a huge number of cars. There has to be a balance to get fans out at a decent time. It eliminates some dead time between the heats, B's and the A. There should have been an A last night.Comment

Oh, the tears! Y'all act like this is a new development. There would be a lot of dead time on a 2 day show without something.
Eldora used to have the stocks run on Friday night for the World 100. I liked it. Now, they have more late model racing each night. The DTWC had the dual heats for a few years. But, some drivers cried and had it killed.Modern Day Spec Wedge RacingComment

I will say, I think the steel blocks being added is a bit much. But the mods usually put on a better show than the lates, and they get a great field of good cars. I’m glad they’ve had them there. I haven’t went since about 2013, but it’s not for any particular reason. Not big on the added steel blocks, but the mods I enjoy. Just sucks they run most of their stuff on Thursday, though I understand why.Up in the air who my next “favorite†driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normalâ€.Comment

Remember when the Knoxville LM Nationals were blasted on here for not having any support classes and the A feature being over before 10 pm. Can’t have it both ways.I hate time trials.Comment

Steel block lives matter!
The mod heats are Gawd awful. They do have a good feature.
I consider the hillbilly and the dtwc to be ohio valley events. And SB lates are a big part of the Ohio valley race scene.Last edited by MasterSbilt_Racer; 10-17-2020, 12:25 PM.Modern Day Spec Wedge RacingComment

Want some fries with that wah burger?
And what are you talking about making the fans pony up again to get in? There were no single day tickets sold for the weekend except saturday04192016Comment

Carl does give the DTWC winner an extra $50k for basically no gain.Originally posted by zer018 View PostModern Day Spec Wedge RacingComment

What class was that that ran about 200 laps for about an hour and a half in the middle of the show last night? Looked like some sort of truck series?Comment

Couldn't agree more (steel block lives matter). I think people on here just like to wine. I was their last year thought it was fine. I prefer the dual heat format. The only saving grace for the standard lucas format is the race is 100 laps wich makes starting position far less important. Most of their sub 50 lap races suck lately and i blame the heads up format.Originally posted by MasterSbilt_Racer View PostComment
