yes but you still get absolutely sandblasted by the features, the stands are smaller and the cars comming off the turns seem to be closer then they are at eldora so there is that but it can be very fast
in the 90's I dont remember though the dust till much later in the heats but it was early april to mid may when those shows were so not near as hot as we get mid summer, yea the end of the night was a dust storm and the cars just shred the track and its a cloud, and last night at the jackpot it wasn't much differant but compaired to last year at the million it was not near as heavy on the dust and the track was not as ripped up or rough as last year.
I will always thank Smoke for buying Eldora and making it into what it has become. Earl would be proud. It's no secret Smoke is a dry slick guy, always was. If there has been any down side to Smoke owning the track is he has made sure it's dry slick and dusty crap hole. To say this guy is the king of track prep is like saying Joe Biden has been a good President. Only thing you can call this guy is KING of the Dust Bowl. This guy is lucky because the Eldora track itself saves this guy no matter how bad he preps it. To make one thing clear, I'm not talkin' about day shows. Day shows anywhere have no chance of being anything other than a dust bowl. What's sad is there are fewer and fewer fans who have been around long enough to remember when Eldora put on great shows after Earl watered the crap out of the place. Remember when USAC had to cancel their Midget and Sprint season openers after hot laps because of dust? I went to the Kings Royal weekend a few years ago. Got there at noon on Saturday, the track was dry as a dessert, around 2:30 they drove the water truck one lap around the top and that was it. What a crap show. What sucks even more is, we now have a of generation of fans who believe a dust bowl is normal because that's all they know. I'll keep watching because I've loved this sport for over 60 years and I've seen with my own eyes it can be so much better when you put water in the track not just on it. There's a huge difference between water in the track vs on the track. All this guy knows is how to put water on a track.
Earl used to put calcium chloride on the track, what that did is held the moisture in the track but the EPA put a stop to it, that had a big effect on track conditions too.
Great job this week. The track was fantastic!
Great race track for all 4 nights last week! Racing was the best I've seen in a while from top to bottom. Great job Robbie!
Very nice learned something thanks
Excellent as usual
They are watering Kokomo Speedway today and sprint week is a week away!
That’s what it takes to have a great track.
