    Exactly. More worried about $$ than this great country we live in. Other tracks in Ohio were open much quicker. Truth hurts. A lot of big time racing folks were and are left wingers.

      So Tony should have potentially lost his liquor license and all of the revenue that it brings for America? Without the money from alcohol sales, there is no Dream, World, Kings Royal or any other big race there.Maybe I'm out of touch, but geeze...

        Would someone please tell me if I am wrong:
        I have attended Eldora’s Dreams and Worlds since the first dream- either 27/28 straight years- (with the exception of 2020 Covid rules). Attended every Prelude & NASCAR Truck race.
        My point is: I believe Eldora is a “business “ and should very much be concerned about $$.
        If Earl could have sold 1 more hot dog-he would have broke even! I am definitely glad Earl & Tony have worried about the $$- or it would have closed 50 years ago.

          Depending on the pour…..25/30 drinks in a liter bottle of booze…..bottle of cheap house rum costs around 6/7 dollars …..rum and Coke’s at 5 bucks a piece gross between 125/150 bucks per bottle of rum poured.

          Back out the labor , ice, coke,insurance,rent etc and that cheap bottle should net profit around 100 bucks give or take.

          Big money to be made if you know what you’re doing.
          Where is the move over flag when you need it?????

            That is sorta crazy talk...

            Our group has been active at Eldora, for over 30 years.

            While the Earl days were fantastic. The Tony days, have been a yearly improvement. Restrooms, camping, and overall fan experience.

              Fly has never owned a house/car, let alone his own business. He doesn’t understand how these things work. His ability to critical think is non existent.

                Sometimes you have to take a stand on what is right and realize how important our freedoms are. Plenty of tracks in Ohio did exactly that. Plenty of tracks around here did the same. I’m proud of those facilities.

                  Please name those Ohio tracks.
                  And “sometimes” when you own a multi-million dollar facility- you have to look at things as a “bussiness” decision not a “ not a good ole boy” decision. Long term bussiness decisions keeps business’s open for the long haul. Short term, angry- seat of the britches decisions that get the support of social media will generally fail.
                  Yes- I missed going to Eldora in 2020- but I’m over it, hold no grudges and lived thru it to return in 2021 and will be there on April 12 for the Flo/Castro’s race.
                  Because Big E didn’t try to buck the screwed up legal system- they are still open and will continue to thrive!
                  It’s a fairly simple scenario to comprehend if you have comprehension skills!

                    Those tracks you mentioned are po dunk. No offense to them but the tracks that opened seat 3-4K tops. Eldora 20,000 plus. Major difference and not even a fair comparison.

                      Western Rural Ohio needs that track. Business needs to stay open in a free country. We should not let government and big business control everything. Some of you are obviously super libs.

                        You should run for office and/or also buy yourself a race track!

                          Maybe even start a consulting firm and sign Tony Stewart and his various companies as a client.

                            No, some of us just have brains. You’re a mental midget.

                                Imagine being so consumed with politics that this is the only argument you ever have. I’ve got news for you, they’re all on the same team.
