For Visitors At Eldora Speedway Weather Changes Can Prove Sudden

By Ina Hunt


Summers in Ohio are generally hot and humid and in winter it can get either cool or cold. Eldora speedway weather plays an important part when racing on a dirt track at very high speeds. There are websites that can give you a ten day forecast so that one will be prepared for anything.

A track day is an organized event where anyone is invited to either drive or be a spectator. For one to join in the fun of driving a valid driving license or a racing license for the event needs to be shown and in some instances a fee is asked. One group will be allowed on the track according to the individual's level of experience and there is usually a specific time that is allowed for these events. Some organizers can even rent out a vehicle if one does not have their own.

The idea of this kind of racing came about in 1993. A group of racers wanted a bigger audience and they then produced a prototype for a NASCAR style truck. It was first shown during the Daytona 500 in 1994 and four other demonstrations were held during the season. These forms of racing became very popular with the public and eventually lead to the creation of the series known as SuperTruck.

Most of the first races were not very long; usually about 125 miles in length and only 150 laps were raced. There was a ten minute halftime break as there were no pit stops. This was when any changes that needed to be done were completed. In 1996 two intermissions were added, one was for a fuel stop and the other for a tire change. The longer races would then be allowed to have three breaks. If any concern was noted about the tire conditions extra break periods were allowed.

The Nationwide Series promotes the minor league circuit. This is considered a way to prove that one is able to move up to the big leagues. These were previously named the NASCAR Busch Series. In 2006 the sponsors announced that they were not going to carry on sponsoring this series and Nationwide Insurance took over. They would then increase their involvement and offer car as well as track sponsorship.

In 2005 this series was held for the first time outside of the United States. It was held in Mexico City and was won by Martin Truex Jnr. The second one that was held was in Montreal and was won by Kevin Harvick. Three years later NASCAR announced that the series will no longer be run outside of the United States.

The Belt Package is a steel belt that is placed between the piles and the tread to ensure that a flat footprint is achieved. The inner liners provides support incase there is a puncture to the outer part. The part that gives the tire is grip is the tread compound.

Eldora Speedway weather very seldom makes one miss any event. So many people are willing to attend no matter what it is like outside. These events are booked on many calendars and are so exciting that people will attend no matter what the skies forecast.
