No doubt, unfortunately, Eldora is a dust bowl

        It is a growing problem. Been going to both races since 08. Where we sit never hardly use to get any dirt on us. The other night could barely see the cars. The feature was good but the rest all sucked. Reworking the track is not roughing up the track in one spot in both corners and spraying a little water in that area only, far cry from reworking track.

I have to agree with whoever said there's asphalt tracks for those that don't like dusty dirt tracks. I had a friend he and his wife did not like dirt tracks because, of the dust and how dirty a lot of bathrooms are at some dirt tracks but, loved asphalt racing.
            I would rather see a bad dirt track race then a good if there is one asphalt race

                Some of you are just idiots. I never once said the racing wasn't good. Just it's harder to see. Real hard. VIDEO PROVES IT!!! Not that way 4-5 years ago. And I don't get a drop of dust on me at Eldora. I'm under the shed, top row. Been locked in on those seats 15 plus years. And my vision of track wasn't terrible when I got those seats. Just past 2-3 years. I love Eldora. And I'll continue to go. But I'm right!!! It's a problem and it's getting worse. So save your don't like dust go to asphalt races sh!t ok. ...gees. Freaking idiots.

                    Drivers want dry slick cant get that by using water.. Fairbury Use lots of water.. Cause drivers may not like it but the fans love it cause it gives you Great racing...Tacky thats the way it use too be not no more....Drives think its too hard on cars ...

                      I will put it this way. My friends have been going for 20 plus years. Sat in corner #4 up against the wall (reserved). Sold their tickets for both the Dream and the World and will not be back. They have said why go when you can't see the track. There has been quite a few people saying this more and more, its no fluke. Yes there is asphalt to go to, but why can't some people voice their opinion to only have it heard? Instead of a few that have a difficult time understanding where were coming from. With a sarcastic answer. Would all of you like to see the race with a lot less dust? That's what I thought.

                          Oh believe me there's been plenty of good asphalt races but, for me I would rather go to a good race then a bad race no matter if it's dirt or asphalt but, I would rather go to a asphalt race then go to a dirt race I can't even watch because of the dust.

                            I was looking at the pictures of the race and it looked like a DUST BOWL, I have friends who have said that they would never be back up there because of that. (Why pay for a race that you cannot see )

                              Highly doubt it was rubber. Maybe you should go see a doctor.

                                I thought the dust was bad too ....But its the same at alot of tracks .... I prefer to watch some tracks on dod pay per view ..... The two hour drive each way makes watching it on the pc better .... I can watch the race & go to work the next day .... Unless you like hard slick surfaces your going to have alot of dust ....
