Boring!

They ran like 80 laps with out a caution. It was very entertaining watching them pick threw lap cars I thought.

Attended 3 or 4 Worlds the last 5 years, missed a couple in that timeframe. It was awesome being inside turn three to see them dig up close, but after many races anticipating a good race, I'm done.
Never saw a good race at Eldora. I guess it means something to somebody that you can say you've been to Eldora maybe, but I'd rather stay closer to home and take my chances at my local track.

Your so right, the cars are a big problem, but remember Port Royal only a few weeks ago, great race. But we have to know there is big problems when recently all the talk was how was Davenport going to handle losing one of his top engineers. What, When that kind of money is being spent, very few teams can afford tp be competitive. When Lucas or WOO show up at most tracks, very seldom do locals run good. they may start off good, but no way they stay strong the whole race. Perfect example, Josh Rice pushes his car to the extreme every lap, And Davenport, Overton and TMac look like there out for a sunday drive. Even Hudson Oneal looks like he is on the edge every lap. Everyone out there gets excited about everyone going to Longhorn, Dirt late model racing today looks more like crate racing than late models racing we all have come to love.

Personally, these super packed, almost asphalt..dry slick tracks are a big part of the boring racing.

"So there’s a lot of knowledgeable people here what is the main reason we don’t have racing like the Jeep Vanwormer Earl Pearson Junior duel? Aero? Whatever the answer is they should implement the rules they had 20 years ago"Mark Richards hasn't complained yet.

No, it's the cars! Pay attention!

The track conditions play no part in it whatsoever.

Track prep has totally changed from 15 years ago!/s

A lot of things have to align to have a race like 2005. That said, Earl never used the words "clean air" in his victory interview.

Other than Eddie carriers interview after the north-south, earls interview after the 06 world sits as one of my favorites of all time…. he seemed more excited about the race itself than the fact he just won it. Great memory.

A lot of people don't pay attention to a lot of things going on these days. Live in a total fog.

I'm just not concerned about it when it comes to racing. I'm here to watch the race and that's it.

Not for the better, unless you're talking about FALS and some other's.

florence was known for being black slick and putting on a good show. those days are gone. if they did that again they would be crucified. the constant complaining of there might be dust in the air changed all of that. make it fast and tacky. then change the cars for aero and make them faster. now the front 5 cars play follow the leader a lot of the time and it would be hard to get more boring. racing can still be good on a 1/4-1/3 mile track, but 1/2 mile exciting races are getting are getting few and far between. the cars need to change or they are going to kill late model racing.

Went to Eldora tonight, the late model racing was boring, no passing, no nothing, overrated. Then got home and watched the Hillbilly 100, boring, whatever JD has on restarts, it wrecks a race. The more the sport moves to everyone having Longhorn chassis, the more boring the racing gets. It really sucks, because I love dirt late model racing, but honestly, I don't love the direction its going. Lets face it, the best race at Eldora tonight was the stock cars. And honestly anymore when I turn Flo or Dirtvision on anymore, I find Im watching more and more sprint car racing.

The freight-train races are mainly caused by a poor format. Series that have inverts and/or passing points provide MUCH better racing.
