Could be interesting weekend.

[Hollis]

Scuttlebutt: Heard some talk at P-Town Sat night that there could be a couple well known UMP teams going to Iowa this weekend for the ALMS shows.-------Davenport on the 1/2-$4,000----34 Raceway $10,550----E-.Moline $3,000. Certainly some teams may find this more desirable than the WoO show at f/C.

[dmr37]

these nights are also MARS and Corn Belt Series sanctioned races

[Cardirt0]

Well witch teams, THAT you heard, Name them,, I HEARD the world was coming too a end.. If that's true, We all be dead so it wont mater...Name them now lets see if you are right..........

[TackyTracker]

Unzicker wouldn't win FC anyway

[Highside Hustler25]

That decision would be a no brainer for a lot of folks. Really good $$ and not the touring hotshoes to contend with.

1/2 a story is still 1/2 a story, If you think you don't do PR work.. So we will never KNOW if what you are saying is TRUE or not.. You could just be making it up.. If you don't give all the FACTs

[Hollis]

Unzicker wouldn't win FC anyway Do you have a pick?. Pierce looks pretty good

[Cardirt0]

Arguing Who Arguing .. Being RIGHT must be a 80s thing.. Its the Internet $hit made up all the time....Say what you want . No Facts. Say it Blue when it Green.. Not so important to be right So I go some were else cause you are wrong....Thats why this place is dead on fri and sat nights ...Why come here if its NOT so important to be right.......

[Barbecueboy]

Aren't most racers and fans AT the races on Friday and Saturday night instead of parked in front of a computer?
Might expain why it's a little slower on 4 m those nights.........I'm just asking, please don't gnaw my head off.

[Hollis]

Not UMP but I wonder how much the Batesville race may affect some travelers. Billy Moyer has Batesville .

Could have thrown out some names so appeared like I knew something. If I can't say for sure why throw around some names. Just some were considering it. That's what I put out there.

[427c.i.]

I heard Feger was considering going that way as well, I believe his FB page even mentioned they would have a decision to make.
When I talked to him at Peoria, he told me he was going to F/C.

I could see why teams would consider going to Iowa, nice paydays with little travel running against teams that are on more of an equal level funding wise.

[Bubstr]

I'm sure there are a lot looking at options for this week end. 4k at Davenport, 10 k at 34 raceway, 6k at Farmer City, 15k at Farmer City, 2k at East Moline, all close enough to make a difference. If anyone knows, who will be where, let us know. It's too bad that Farmer City rescheduled, but them things happen. I would have gone to all of them.

[plunks7]

Shirley and sheppard are to be heading towards Iowa.

34 has to be enticing for Jason. He gets around that track well but we all know what FC and that Illini crown mean to him. That's a tough decision for him.

Why did you not just say they gave you no names in the first place. Instead of I ant no PR man..

[huskerdirt]

He is also undefeated at Davenport. 3 for 3 there I believe.

[rickybrown1952]

Shirley and sheppard are to be heading towards Iowa.Where did you get your info from

[wastingmoney]

I think Shepperd, feger, pierce, and shirley are going to F/C

[pink floyd]

there will also be some outstanding racing at Eldora and Richmond raceway this Saturday.

[allWIS1]

On another forum (ISC) Davenport Speedway has Feger, Unzicker, Sheppard and Shirley heading to Iowa. That would be some noteable UMP teams. Interesting weekend indeed.

[plunks7]

Iowa stock cars . com

Yep, I think he has a sponsor from over that way as well. He was bummed that the rain date caused the overlap of dates, I was bummed because I love seeing him run Davenport and 34. Told me as much as he wants to go to Iowa, he has a lot of local fans that are counting on him being at F/C.
Oh well, save the road trip for another time...

[illowadirt32]

Both shows will be good, but I could see a few guys leave Farmer city Friday and head to 34 Raceway. Or a guy leaving Davenport after Friday and heading to Farmer City. Im sure car counts on Friday will make some drivers Saturdays choices easier!!

[allWIS1]

Davenport's field may be the one most affected by the other events (Farmer City, Batesville and Farley). If Feger, Pierce, Shirley and Sheppard go to Farmer City that waters down the field some. They will be missing good cars that were there last year.

In the group you mention, Feger was the only one that was there last year on the half mile. I would imagine there will still be 25 - 30 late models at Davenport. Looking forward to the show Friday!

[illowadirt32]

Also do not forget Tri City Speedway, they have $2000 to win late Models Friday night too!!! And we know drivers like Tri City!!

[huskerdirt]

BShepp headed to Batesville, gunning for the ROY title.

Strong chance of rain down south could affect him and Moyer decisions.

Moyer----- doubt it. He shop is 6 miles from the track. If anything they will run on Sunday which they've had to do several times in the past.

Sounds like BShepp is fully committed to Lucas now. So unless Batesville adjusts the schedule early enough he will not be at the Illini 100.

yep, if your wanting a appetizer instead of the entree.

[Highside Hustler25]

Jason Feger Farmer City both nights.

I agree on Moyer unless maybe the whole weekend looks like a washout.

Batesville weather is showing 80 percent Friday 100 percent Saturday and 90 percent Sunday.

[pkracer]

Just heard Batesville canceled

[Hollis]

Owens and Moran to F/C. Prolly the Moyers also. B-Shepp? Probably. Who Else ?

[pkracer]

Hopefully Bloomquist and Landers

[pkracer]

Landers is going to Farmer City.

[pkracer]

Steve Francis is going to Farmer City along with Brandon Sheppard

[WisWildManFan]

Illini 100 just got a lot tougher to win!

[ptown]

Bloomquist coming too.

[hawkeye_dirt86]

Owens and Moran to F/C. Prolly the Moyers also. B-Shepp? Probably. Who Else ?

Moyer to Davenport and Burlington - per his schedule

[Hollis]

Moyer to Davenport and Burlington - per his schedule Read that Phillips,Chris simpson also will be in Iowa. The list may continue to grow. Weaver Unconfirmed

[Racing]

Saw Bloomer will be at 34.
