    World 100 first time

    Going for the first time. Where is the best seating, hotel and closest airport to the track? Thanks!

    I like middle of 1 & 2. Definetly depends on wind. Closest airport is Dayton, but Cincinnati just little further away and would guess much cheaper to fly to and from. Indianapolis and Columbus airports aren't long drives either

      Fort Wayne, Indiana also not far but probably not cheapest

        Sit in 3 or 4 way closer to track than 1 and 2. Upgrade pit pass and watch some races along fence in infield. No idea about hotels, half the fun is the tailgating.

          I would like to tailgate but I'm coming from too far away to bring stuff to camp.

                Don't leave anything unattended, this racetrack is bad for thing going missing.

                    Dayton is about the closet decent commercial airport.

                      If you're serious and not some crap show drunk or drama queen, always welcome to tailgate with us. Let me know closer to the World. Will be there Thursday-Sunday.

                        A first time Eldora visitor has to upgrade to a pit pass and go stand in turn three right by the fence and watch them come screaming at you........

                          I live in Troy and I think any hotels in troy, or Sidney would be good but better get a reservation also maybe fly into Dayton real close. Gotta get wings and a pizza burger.

                              Troy, Sidney, Piqua, for hotels. Or across the state line in Indiana too. But you need to do it now, they book quick. I'd bet the Comfort Inn in Sidney is booked. Nice hotel and convenient.

                              Seating. Well, not sure what you have for tickets, I've always done reserved. The little bit left that's GA is gone quick. Meaning high enough up you can see. Haulers are in infield, so be aware of that for sight lines.

                              Columbus is about an hour and a half away. If you can fly into Rickenbacker, I bet you it's cheaper than Port Columbus. And you just jump on 70 and head west. Way I go, I live about twenty minutes from Rickenbacker.
                              Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.
