Eldora Million is BACK!

I honestly think that with the payout if he keeps entry fees low and pit passes low you might see a huge car count and with a driver earning $1,000 no matter what that might get a persons attention that might not normally come. I mean there will be no other tracks running on Wednesday and Thursday. Also I think Tony did this so drivers that might not normally run the Dream might stay and run the Dream as well.

only 7hrs you say
.

7 hours is close, you guys act like super late model guys are broke.


How many IMCA modified and stock cars towed to Vegas two weeks ago to race for peanuts? Heck how about the 1300 cars or whatever number that towed to Bristol this year, the pay wasnt good there....

Ive towed from Iowa to Talladega for the Ice Bowl and $500 to win, went back a few weeks later to the Bama bash for $1000. Gave those trophies to kids in the stands always the smallest one that comes to the fence.

Racers race it hasnt got much to do with payout or entry fees its about the challenge and winning new at new places or new events. Racing for memories.... Yes if you suck you probably arent traveling that wouldnt make much sense to just travel around being a back marker.

I think the only people who care about these big purses or any purses are the fanboys.

Holy Smokes!!!! Too far off topic. Who isn’t excited about this? Bad A?? Stuff going on in Late Model racing. It’s a MILLION to win. Let’s see a good race! Hell, give Donnie Moran a provisional if he runs the same car he won the first one in. Too much!

Somebody has it. What where the times for a lap around eldora when donnie won the million ? In comparison with what Brandon Overton did last year ?

Bloomquist was fast time with a 16.187. About 1.5 seconds slower.

Everything about that place is different now than it was in 2001.

[latemodelman]

also entries were capped at 275 but when they ran it in June instead of the Dream they got 235. Had they ran it in October Earl said they would have came close to 275. He did say had there been no cut off and the race had ran in October he would have had over 300 cars there. Keep in mind that years World 100 had 263 cars

How different will the track be? I watched a recent video of new dirt being put on the track. Will the banking change?
