So the modifieds will show up to race for $3000 to win but a few weeks ago Waynesfield paid $5000 to win and only got 39 cars. And they only had to show up on 1 day and pay to get in once at Waynesfield!118 mods..close to 60 late models...nick katterhenry (15 car) destoyed one. glad hes ok. babcock 2nd in heat but many locals struggled against some super tough cars
How does that make any sense?

This is so true. But we need to remember this is a BUSINESS. And a business can not survive with out profit.and big e is my favorite track but i see tony followin the pattern of earls later years and pushin more big shows and fewer "regular" shows..from a promters standpoint its ideal, but for the guys who have supported the track for years its frustrating

As far as stocks go lima has the best program for the stock cars. look at how many special shows they have with some good pay days. Cant believe they dont get more cars that what they do then with the king of the 1/4 mile.
No disrespect to the Lima track but if you compare it to Eldora as far as racing, there are way to many differences. You either like the style of racing that is called for at Lima or you don't. And sometimes money is not the only thing that will bring a racer to a track. There are other things to consider. We are Eldora regulars and went to Lima on a couple of the weeks off this year from Eldora. (not for the big shows) Each time we brought home a beat and batterd car and lots of work.
This is one reason we don't go to Lima.

No disrepect to eldora but i know a sprintcar driver who has drove for 30 yrs and he said when you come to lima you had better be up on the wheel , but he said he could eat a sandwich and drive around eldora. As for me i like lima or a 1/4 mile over eldora. I have gone to eldora for yrs but like the short tracks.

I am so glad we live in a free country that allows for choice. I am also sure this debate could go on for a long time. I guess the difference comes from the opinions of a cars owners or the person who does the weekly work on the car, the drivers, and the fans in the stands that come in every week, sit there on their seat enjoying a hot dog or two along with the races, then gets up and leaves. Not considering how much time and money it will take to get that wrecked car back in shape.
I am not directing this at you cause I do not know your involvement in racing.
I am just bringing this to the attention of some fans that have no clue of the money and time it takes to get a car back to the track next week after getting beat and banged around on a 1/4 mile track. This can happen at Eldora too but not as much beat and banging around because of the higher speeds and larger racing surface.
Oh I like to watch racing on a 1/4 mile track but I always cringe when I see the non necessary crashing and wrecking. I have experenced how many hours of hard work and how much money goes into repairing the damage that was not necessary.
Here is to an exciting 2011 season at both tracks.
