[MUD MAESTRO]

Only a competitive LM feature can save this slow moving event.

[BloomerWon]

Hahahahaha ^^^ Sorry, I just had to laugh at that one...

[golddirt]

The spins in all other classes!

[dirtmiester]

DOD should refuse to cover any event with modifieds!

[golddirt]

Their killing me!

[Shiny Side Up 18]

I'm sitting in my car with a headache waiting for the LM B-Main. They appear to want to hold us hostage until almost midnight again.

[Shiny Side Up 18]

If you're going to run specials for 2 classes, then those should be the only classes. I just don't get it...

Who will be bobby's first victim tonight?

[Shiny Side Up 18]

Modified feature flirting with ChooChoo territory.

[MUD MAESTRO]

Least we forget.....the back gate fees from the other classes entered is an important source of revenue for the promoter. I realize that. I also have a choice to attend or not to attend. The promoters now must be more savvy to keep me coming back.

[golddirt]

Honestly wish I had stayed home.

[Shiny Side Up 18]

Sorry for being...off... tonight.
My allergies are killing me and I have a halfway headache.
I don't think I'm going to be at Fairbury.

[intel8]

Thanks Shiny, great job.

[Dirt Clod]

Great job, Shiny. Your commentary is right on. Sorry the allergies are bringing you down.

[TheJet-09]

Awesome updates! Thanks Shiny! Hope you feel better.

[WildBill32]

Wow... What a great race! Good job Feger... Smile...

[BloomerWon]

Awesome! Congrats to Jason!!

Thanks Shiny. Go get some rest bud...

[NeedforLMspeed]

I like Feger's quote on DoD. "It's so good racing up there with Babb, Shirley and Unzicker." Didn't include the second place finisher's name. lol

[427c.i.]

I like Feger's quote on DoD. "It's so good racing up there with Babb, Shirley and Unzicker." Didn't include the second place finisher's name. lol

I noticed that too. I’m sure it was just an oversight on Jason’s part... ;)

[ImCryn2]

I like Feger's quote on DoD. "It's so good racing up there with Babb, Shirley and Unzicker." Didn't include the second place finisher's name. lol

and he mentioned last night was "a racing deal", but you forgot that in your overview of his interview.

[Highside Hustler25]

That was as good as Jason has looked on the cushion in a while. Spoiler still intact. And that cushion was not user friendly.

[CILDirt]

What a race. Track was super bouncy and that cushion in 3/4 was dangerous to say the least but you could run anywhere. Great job on the updates Shiny. That was a tough one to keep track of. Good luck with those allergies. There is some weird sinus stuff going around. Just took me out for 2 weeks. Horrible headache was a big part of it.

[TeNfOMaFiA69]

Guess Bobby just didn’t wanna be interviewed on DoD after finishing 2nd to Jason... lol

[Barbecueboy]

I like Feger's quote on DoD. "It's so good racing up there with Babb, Shirley and Unzicker." Didn't include the second place finisher's name. lol

He was just funnin around......

[ButtTrick]

Great job on the updates once again Shiny. Even on your "off" nights, you do an amazing job and paint a great picture of what is happening at the track. Much appreciated!! You should have your fingers insured by Lloyds of London, because the way you work a phone during the race is magical!!

[50Dixon50]

Wow
if ya didn't like that ya don't like dirt racing what arace

[Barbecueboy]

The track is bad azz......Illinois should change their motto and call themselves the " land of late models"

You guys got it good up there......( at least on the racing side of things)

[AllenK]

That race was a dandy. I had no idea who was going to win it at all in the earlier stages of the race. Congrats to Feger!

[cgrace]

That race was a dandy. I had no idea who was going to win it at all in the earlier stages of the race. Congrats to Feger!Completely agree!! Best race I've seen all year and well deserved by the Feger team. That was an exciting race with the leaders. Great job all around. Farmer City is my fav track in Illinois, so I'm really glad others got to see the track the way it used to be years ago. Thanks to FC and Mars making these shows happen. As a race fan, I hope Mars keeps it going.

[intel8]

Illinois new motto is "Land of taxation", do not move here!

[TeNfOMaFiA69]

Illinois new motto is "Land of taxation", do not move here!

Because that has everything to do with last nights race... clown

[ZERO25]

Because that has everything to do with last nights race... clown

Does your wife ever give you any?.....smh!

[TeNfOMaFiA69]

Does your wife ever give you any?.....smh!

Well.... does bashing the state of Illinois and it’s residents have anything to do with how great the races were at FC?

[intel8]

I never said anything about the residents. I will bash the corrupt Illinois government for all it's worth. You must be a Pritzker fanboy.

[TeNfOMaFiA69]

I never said anything about the residents. I will bash the corrupt Illinois government for all it's worth. You must be a Pritzker fanboy.

You’d be wrong... how does me sticking up for the great people of Illinois make me a Pritzer fan boy? Why is everything so political with you morons???

You really aren’t making any sense

[intel8]

OK, one last time, I said nothing regarding Illinois residents, read it again ssslllooowww.

[TeNfOMaFiA69]

The only thing slow here is your ignorant back peddling...

[intel8]

What is "Suicide silence"? Transgender group? Suites your liberal agenda.

[Raceready]

Does your wife ever give you any?.....smh! Kind of reminds one of the movie starring the late Robin Williams as Adrian Kronhauer. Adrian tells a tight azzed officer that he is " in more dire need for a beejay than anyone that he has ever met" ?? The movie was Good Morning Viet Nam.
