We are allowing grooving of front tires on Modifieds, B-Mods and Stock Cars this weekend so that you might be able to get an extra night out of them.

And... we will be getting our grandstand TV's in place like we do this time of the year so that you Cub fans can watch the game and racing at the same time.

We are racing tonight. Chances of rain keep going down. But want to take a moment to get the word out on our October 8-9th Jacksonville/Quincy Showdown.

More details on the nitty gritty of rules for Sportmods/B-Mods and stock cars coming early this week. But basically if you have one, plan to race it.

Attention B-Mods/Sportmods.

This has taken awhile to put together combinations from IMCA/UMP and USRA, but here's where we are for rules for this Saturday at Jacksonville and Sunday at Quincy.

1. The preferred car is a 3 link 602 crate with a solid pull bar and 4 barrel..
2. All cars must weigh 2,500 lbs.
3. Quick change rear ends are ok.
4. Open motors must be 360 or smaller, 10:1 or less (IMCA or USRA style built engine) with a 2 barrel. No 400 blocks
5. 3 link or 4 bar is allowed. Only solid pull bars.
6. You can run your choice of tire approved by any of the 3 sanctioning bodies. (Hoosier G60, Hoosier A40, Hoosier A40S, American racer G60 or KK704)

Remember, we are running 2 pretty small tracks. Most cars around here have run at a track regularly pursuant to a set of rules along these lines. It's some of the built UMP motors that run North and South of Central Illinois that are our concern. We don't plan to turn this into a tech fest, although we will be looking at cars at both places, with more stringent tech at Quincy where we run the class regularly.

I'm sure we haven't covered everything, so pay attention to our facebook page and website for any other issues that arise.

Just 3 days away! Saturday, October 8th is the Midwest Big Ten Series Super Late Model Series for the re-scheduled Danny Bangert Memorial.
