Jack Sullivan is in a points battle for Comp Cams dirt series points with a race the 29th. Would like to see him race this race.

[Highside Hustler25]

Great week for racing in central Il.
Macon > Quincy > Fairbury > Fairbury

How many Lucas guys will stick around for the PDC after Tuesdays Macon show?

$8000.00 up for grabs Thurs night @ Quincy as well.

Great opportunity for guys to race 4 nights for good money and not burn a ton of diesel. It's a no brainer.

Just speculating, but I'd expect...

Bloomquist
Davenport
Owens
Landers
BShepp
McCreadie
Erb

to be in attendance.

Bloomer and BShepp are suspended from UMP.

[HoosierDirtFan]

Bloomer and BShepp are suspended from UMP.

Add Owens into that mix as well. Sure hope to see a few drivers that normally don't race in this region of the U.S.
Pennsylvania racer Chad Hollenbeck came to last years race.

[Highside Hustler25]

Bloomer and BShepp are suspended from UMP.

whoops, right you are.

[Barbecueboy]

I'm liking the small contingent rolling in from the Carolina's........that pair of 22s should be interesting to watch.

[Barbecueboy]

whoops, right you are.
The fact that several have already forgotten that those guys can't run ump for a while speaks to just how ridiculous the whole thing really is.........don't it?

[huskerdirt]

whoops, right you are.

It happens.... Lol. Hell, I didn't even mention Owens.

[kidrock]

Not really when you get caught cheating this is what happens.

[Cardirt0]

Dennis Erb has it on his web site .. And i know he likes this track.....

[Barbecueboy]

Not really when you get caught cheating this is what happens.

Normal very up to speed dirt racing guys get amnesia??? Well dang, who knew?

I know one thing they could use ... More parking.....

[fryefan]

It is not ridiculous at all. They got busted for doping tires, so now they have to pay the price.

[kidrock]

thats his response to me when I basically said the same thing

[Barbecueboy]

Pretty sure everybody on the planet knows the story.......what's so funny is that two pretty saavy dirt track guys had already forgotten about it, as if to totally ( allbeit fraudian) dismiss it.

You two hall monitors can move along to the next hall pass scandal........it will be equally as memorable.

And effective in solving the problem.

[Barbecueboy]

Yup, 4 posts up from yours actually...........I'm sure he didn't see it and needed help from the authorities to find it.

I am sure around the middle of September they are going chit no where to race this weekend no world trophy again

[Highside Hustler25]

Normal very up to speed dirt racing guys get amnesia??? Well dang, who knew?

Amnesia? Why thank you Bbqby.I'll take that as a compliment. I think:confused:

I'm so pumped for the last week of July, I think my brain might have red lighted.

[HoosierDirtFan]

Any other Wisconsin drivers coming besides Mars?

[Krooser]

Yeah... I may make the trip. Waiting for Bloomer to call with an offer....😎

[MI Dirt Fan]

Bloomer has nothing on his schedule that week anywhere so I'm guessing he'll just take it off. Probly a good thing to get a break before the stretch run.

[old fan]

he can't go dummy

[t4g2]

The only stretch he's resting for would be Lucas races as he can't race pdc or world 100 or Knoxville nationals.

[old fan]

I believe knox ville he can a its a lucas race b its after september 11

[MI Dirt Fan]

The only stretch he's resting for would be Lucas races as he can't race pdc or world 100 or Knoxville nationals.
Um ya think? Smh

[HoosierDirtFan]

Guess will just have to wait and see how this final appeal turns out and what comes of it if attorney's get involved.

[HoosierDirtFan]

ADDED
Veteran race #9 - Eric Smith to the drivers list.

[Shiny Side Up 18]

When I was at FALS last Saturday, I'm pretty sure I heard Mike Norris say that 65 cars have pre-entered.

Gilpin is running the Ray Cook Southern Nationals Tour in the Southeast and leading the points.
Not sure on Tim Manville.
I seen Highland Speedway is the only other track in Illinois running UMP Super Late Models Next weekend.
Still haven't heard from or have info on these guys if they will be coming to the race.

Heard he broke his wrist last night at Farmer City.

[Highside Hustler25]

Heard he broke his wrist last night at Farmer City.

Yes he did. On temporary shutdown till further notice.

[kidrock]

Yes he did. On temporary shutdown till further notice.

That sucks I was hoping he could get the UMP Championship

[HoosierDirtFan]

Heard he broke his wrist last night at Farmer City.

That sucks. Good quality driver with a bunch of potential.

[rickybrown1952]

For us that can't be there is this race on ppv anywhere if so where

[TMaCiLLiNi39]

For us that can't be there is this race on ppv anywhere if so where

I doubt it will ever be PPV as cell service in Fairbury is tough to come by

[chathamracefan]

Dirtvision should have the live audio for free assuming there is sufficient internet capabilities at the track.

[ptown]

I doubt it will ever be PPV as cell service in Fairbury is tough to come by

At Fairbury ATT is bad and Verizon works great, I don't know about US Cellular or others.

[rickybrown1952]

I doubt it will ever be PPV as cell service in Fairbury is tough to come byThanks a lot

[Badlands Bandit Fan]

At Fairbury ATT is bad and Verizon works great, I don't know about US Cellular or others.

The cell tower near the track is now Sprint so those users get excellent service. ATT is awful as others have said.

[WWilliams52]

anyone got any speculation on any drivers that might show up by surprise?

[Krooser]

Any problems getting tickets on Saturday night?

[dirt FANatic 11]

Problem wont be getting a ticket... Problem will be finding a seat. GA opens at 12 noon for blankets to be put down. Backstretch and Turn 4 are reserved seats. May look at getting a reserved seat in turn 4 if you know you are for sure going

[Bubstr]

Is all of those new bleachers in turn 4 reserved or just the upper rows?

[t4g2]

All are reserved in turn 4

[t4g2]

FYI if you don't have your reserved seats by now you better as I just checked an all back stretch is sold out an new reserved seats in turn 4 is very close to being sold out.

You can remove chris simpson from the list as he has decided to run the cornbelt clash races this weekend

[Krooser]

Looks like my trip down to the PDC isn't happening... My nephew whom I was going to meet down there just became a grandpa and he's headed to WVA to see his grandson and AND I had to buy a new a/c unit for the house since I dislike sleeping in my own sweat. I'll have to wait a couple days to see the WoO guys at Shawano... I hope my legions of fans aren't disappointed...

[waaac77]

Mars has the CBC races on his schedule

[Mod22]

Steve Francis will be ready for competition on Friday. He wasn't cleared to drive last night in Macon or for the show in Quincy. He'll be in the David Peterson Motorsports #15 @ PDC and @ Cedar Lake for the USA Nationals next weekend. He'll get back into the Tim Logan racing #15 in Florence for the North/South 100.

[Ryan21mid]

Making our first trip to FALS this year. Running our mod at home Friday night and driving up after some friends get off work at noon Saturday so won't be there until 4:30. Any suggestions on where the best spot to get a seat will be? Better off getting pit passes/is there good available pitside seating? Will general admission fill up quick? Trying to get an idea before we get there, thanks.
