We are coming fron 2 hours away to support this weekly show. Matt Curl and the guys worked hard to secure the money for shows like this. I hope they can keep it rolling along and have late models done by 930. If so, we will continue to make the drive down when other races dont conflict.

I’m thinking about making the drive down from Michigan. It would be my first time at FALS... Where is the best place to park?

[HoosierDirtFan]

Back straightaway. Take I-57 South to US 24 exit west. Take US 24 west about 28 miles to Fairbury. Turn south on 1st street (stop light). Track will be about 1/8th-1/4 mile on left (east) side of street to Back straightaway parking.
Pit gate is on 3rd street. You will enjoy it. I guarantee it. the atmosphere in like a mini Eldora..
Food is good and the prices are cheap.

[Cardirt0]

i-pod 95% of the time a trip to Faibury is worth the trip. Even a bad parking spot in fairbury is not a bad spot. lots of parking, Lots of good fans, Good food and most of all real good Racing.

I watched the videos that Grandstand Racing Videos had on You tube. They ran the Late Model and Modified features in less than 20 minutes total. Neither feature had a caution and the track was smooth and racey. Here's to a good 2019 to ALL tracks and the fans in the stands.
