Q:
Why can't I view the entire website on my computer screen?
The pages are too wide and I have to scroll side to
side.
A:
The website was constructed for optimal viewing at 1024
x 768 pixels or greater. If your screen resolution is
set at 800 x 600 or lower, try changing it to a higher
resolution. To read more on this topic and learn how
to change the resolution on your computer, try
this website.
Q:
Changing the resolution didn't help. My screen is still
not showing the website correctly.
What's wrong?
A:
This website is based on users viewing in medium size
text. If you are viewing the pages in the large text,
the lines will wrap around and cause lines to look uneven.
This is the number one problem with most viewing malfunctions.
Go to the "View" tab, then select "Text
Size" and click on "medium". That should
cure any viewing problems you are currently having.
Q:
What's going on with the Eldora Booster Club?
A:
After

a determination of continuance will be announced.
At the time of re-activation, Eldora Booster Club members
in good standing at the time of the club’s suspension
will be notified with an option to renew.

Q:
Why do the news archive and race results archives
disappear whenever I click on one of them?
A: The news,

load. If you are experiencing this problem, simply pause
or shut-off your Pop-Up blocker while navigating the
website.
