Prelude to the Dome

[J20in1st]

Does anyone else think this is a dream to make this happen in Mid Illinois Dec 3rd?

How hard can the ground be and still get this race in? Not to mention they'll be plenty of snow down. If they turn it a couple times a week will that keep it workable to race?

[old fan]

we were talking about this last night , i don't know why the promotors did n'rt run with it earlier in the season , not much snow in early December in southern ILL

[Scott Boesel]

I brought this up in another thread and thought the same how will this work so late in the year being outside

[old fan]

If anybody could pull it off would be that Lil bullring

[rickybrown1952]

I guarantee they will do their best to get this done

out of the loop what is this and where

Belle Clair is racing December 3rd. 2k for supers and 1k for modifieds. Being that we don't get any real winter weather around here until January, I say unless it rains, it will be okay.

Springfield, MO ran last year on December 5 so it is possible. They caught a day where it was in the mid 50's. It should be a afternoon race because of temperature drop off in the evening. Can cancel if weather doesn't work out, they cancel races during the summer if it's to warm.

The promoter said that as long as the weather was dry and at least 35 degrees, it would be a go.

For those of you not from the area, Belleville IL is a SMALL track. But its going to look like Talladega compared to what youll see in the dome. How they are going to pull off a late model race in there defies common sense thinking, but I hope im wrong. I hope its successful so we have a dirt race to watch in winter.

[calverton]

Believe or not the dome track is bigger

The Big 12 Football Championship has been played on that same weekend in Arrowhead (Kansas City) for a number of years at night. A day race should be fine if it is not raining.

The weather is a lot nicer in this region during that time (early December) than it was back in those years.

Global warming?

[TackyTracker]

If anybody hasn't got tickets yet I have 2 Friday night and 2 Saturday night I'd like to get rid of

I ran the first race of 1986 at 12:01AM at 141 Speedway in Wisconsin.... but it was still a paved track back then. I think we had about 60 cars in three classes.....

You really believe that??

[MI Dirt Fan]

For $2k to win LM and $1k for mods, I wouldn't expect much. Just sayin'

[fryefan]

I don't just believe it, I have experienced it, as I live in that area.

[TackyTracker]

me too and last christmas day kids were outside shooting bows/arrows because it was 45 out and sunny

[calverton]

For $2k to win LM and $1k for mods, I wouldn't expect much. Just sayin' you never know in the St Louis region 43 cars showed for 2500 to win back in September

[dmr37]

you never know in the St Louis region 43 cars showed for 2500 to win back in SeptemberThat's because they don't have anything else to do - no football team and their baseball team stunk. GO CUBS!

[calverton]

stunk yeah they are allowed to stink once , when was the last time the Cubs won the world series lmfao

[fryefan]

That's because they don't have anything else to do - no football team and their baseball team stunk. GO CUBS!

Stunk? They finished one game out of the playoffs. With that being said it was a down year for the Cardinals. The cubbies would have been elated with the Cardianal's results for almost all of the last 100 years.

Go Dodgers!!!!

Also, let me add that Chicago does not have a football team either. They run some guys out onto the field, but they are far from NFL caliber.

[calverton]

Chicago has 2 baseball teams that can't win the world series wow

[Shiny Side Up 18]

Cancelled due to scheduling conflict at the fairgrounds. I didn't see a post, sorry if I missed one.EDIT: I just looked and DoD posted it a while back. I've been a bit out of the loop lately. Sorry.

[calverton]

Yes a 3 day dog show that's been scheduled for some time
