FALS Question

[DarrellGoode]

Why is the back stretch better to watch the races, than the front stretch? Wouldn't it be better to sit by flag stand? I've never been there. So I don't know.

frontstretch is farther back
you can smoke
party crowd is back there

other than that nothing really

[bullring]

Frontstretch stands have the horse track between them and the racetrack. Long ways back.

All the souvenir trailers are on the backstretch as well.

Number one reason is the elevation of the track and grandstands makes it hard to see the front stretch, for the wall. Second reason is their historical grand stands make you sit with your knees in your chest. Third is, if it's warm, it seems about 5 degrees warmer because the enclosed stands cut air flow. If it's cool, that's a good thing.

If your handicapped, the front stretch has a ramp to a not so great landing, view wise. It is hard getting to the ramp because of gravel walkway, if you need wheels to get there. The handicapped parking is close also, if your early. I don't think some tracks realize just how many fans have difficulty getting around.

What makes it worth it, is great side by side racing. Let there be no doubt about it, they put on a great show.

I went there a few years ago i am handicapped in a wheelchair could not get anywhere near the front stretch and could not find a place on the backstretch. This place is definitely not wheelchair friendly. Didnt even watch races went home.

[WisWildManFan]

Front stretch stands are at least 3 times farther back

This is something they need too address ..They have spots at the bottom of Grandstands They suck...Fairbury You run a Great place, BUT you need a better Place for my Friend Smooth too see the races from....

[DarrellGoode]

So get there early to try to get a seat on the backstretch?

So get there early to try to get a seat on the backstretch?Id say 95% are all ready sold. There were quit a few seats in section I yesterday but not many else where

[Fairbury Speedway]

The 2 section D handicap spots on the backstretch are already reserved for the PDC weekend, the Handicap area on the front stretch is first come first serve on the day of the event.

Tried to order reserved seating on backstretch but I needed 3 seats and it's not available. I guess I have no choice but to do the front stretch. Will I be able to see at all?

We sat on the front stretch last year in the uncovered stands coming off 4 and if you get the top few rows the view is not all that bad but we were not able to see the scoreboard so it was hard to tell what lap they were on but none the less it was still plenty fine to watch some great racing. I would suggest getting there on sat morn at 10 or whatever time they allow you to put you blanket down and get that done and in place..
