Eldora Million is BACK!

[NeedforLM$peed]

Somehow I think it'll turn into like what some thought Bristol would be this past year. Guys will go just to say they went.

[stock car driver]

It's $5,000 to start. What other race pays that much to last place, you slack-jawed mouth breather? And it's called the Eldora Million, not the "Eldora A Few Thousand to the Winner And a Participation Trophy for Everyone."

I 80 Speedway Silver Dollar Nationals Paid $5300 to start in 2021.....

Exactly my point and how many showed up for that one?

I rest my case and never called anyone any names....

[NeedforLM$peed]

It's not Eldora though

[billetbirdcage]

Tires, parts availability, and fuel prices are have a huge effect on car count, sure several people are going to think about going just to say they went. However those factors and the huge inflation being experienced right now is gonna severely effect how many of those people end up going.


Personally I doubt there is over 100 cars that enter with things how they are that the current time

[Buford.Justice]

Just In. Donnie Moran is calling tader saying let's make Mastersbuilt great again. I can use another million.

He already got one too many.. hahahahaa

[Buford.Justice]

One hundred cars would be a big number these days. Maybe 90.

Seems like about 55 cars, at least 10 were locals probably more. It paid some stout purses all week, a few 7500 to win 5300 to win etc and a 30k to win I think.

It kills me that people say only 6-8 cars have a chance at winning at eldora. Look at the history of some of those big races. Between the late 80s, all of the 90s, and early 00s, the same drivers were winning these races. I dont where you people have been, its been like this for several years now....its nothing new. Quit beating the dead horse, its called being good.

If you really think this race will only draw 50 cars because I80 struggles to get that many, you're just plain stupid. Anybody that lives in that region will tell you there are hardly any supers out there. Ohio is probably the 2nd biggest hot bed when it comes to supers, behind Illinois.

Everybody wants it to happen, and when it does, the same people that wanted to happen, try to beat it down. You guys call yourself race fans? SMH

Where did anyone say this race will only draw 50 cars or compare it to I80?

I simply answered a guys post about WHAT race has ever paid 5000 to start... the answer is I 80 paid more than 5000 to start.


fyi I live 45 min from I 80 raced there a solid 100 times probably. If Illinois has so many supers then there would be many in fact CLOSE to I 80. Its only 7 hours from I 80 to Illinois.

only 7hrs you say

Thats the point most do not understand on here. Its not the 90s anymore. Gas isnt a buck a gallon. Complete cars are not $45k. Crew members are no longer happy to be on a crew, they need real world pay. Racing is now a business. The race may pay 5k to start but even God himself (driver of the big blue hauler) has gone on record to say it costs him 5k to unload his car. He also says its a dollar a mile to drive that double stacker up and down the road.

The gap between the top teams in this sport and the others is widening every week. God even said he is looking at hiring actual engineers for the first time ever. The price for your new Rocket just went up to help foot that bill.

62 cars showed up for 4 days this year and a ton of money was handed out. Out of those 62 cars only really 6 to 8 have a legit shot at winning under normal conditions. Sure, Ohio is a hotbed of LM racing but I cant see more than 70 cars showing up. I hope I am wrong.

I still feel this race is only in response to XR originally putting a show against the Dream.

I think if you ask anyone in the sport would they rather race for a million to win or a say 500k to win and 25k to start, would choose option B.

Pay 25k to start and you will see cars coming out of the woodwork and you will see some real heat races not this stuff they call heat races now.

I won't be surprised if the PPV is NOT included in the Flo subscription and is really expensive. I also won't hesitate to pay whatever they ask.

I bet it will be. That's how Flo operates and sets them apart from others.
