The 15th Baltes Classic “Honoring founders Earl and Berneice Baltes” are coming up. On Sunday, September 3rd Dirt Late Models, Modifieds, and Eldora Stocks are on tap. Click here for details and the time schedule.
But there is more!
There will be an “Earl Baltes Look-A-Like Competition”
Though it would be next to impossible to find someone with the same persona as the late, great Eldora Speedway founder, Earl Baltes; does anyone carry a strong physical resemblance to the iconic, hall-of-fame promoter?
For the upcoming Baltes Classic on Sunday, September 3, Eldora Speedway officials are searching for the best Earl Baltes look-a-like! Fans attending the final tune-up for the 53rd running of the World 100 are encouraged to enter the contest.
The winning fan will receive $427.21 (to commemorate Earl’s birthday – 4/27/21), a Baltes Classic victory lane photo op, two World 100 tickets, & pit pass upgrades! The runner-up will walk away with two tickets to the World 100 (Earl’s favorite race), while the third-place finisher will receive two hot dogs (one of Earl’s favorite concession items) from the concession stand.
Fans who are interested in partaking in the contest will have the opportunity to make their way down to the frontstretch during Opening Ceremonies at the Baltes Classic where the crowd will help decide the winner!
