Yesterday Lucus Oil released their dates including LaSalle Speedway May 21. Dates for Thaw Brawl were also out a while ago.
They announced the last night of racing that they would only run 6 specials in 2016 no regular weekly racing. That really sucks because that is one awesome track, just needs someone to prep the track and run the place without all the drama. I know they have tried but they are racers not promoters. RIP LaSALLE SPEEDWAY
Think it makes sense for lasalle to run specials... Hard to compete against FC and FALS for weekly cars. I know I'd rather have them run specials then close down shop all together. Only thing I would say is if they are going to do that they should run some more sprint car races... WoO NSL IRA
There was talk early summer that the Oshkosh show was going to be a 2 day show. It had sounded like the Thaw Brawl was going to alternate between the 2 tracks every other year and be a 2 day show.
I think finding reliable help has been a large obstacle for them. I figure support the track as best as possible, be it for 6 specials or for weekly racing. I was concerned for the guys in Street Stocks and Hornets more so than Late Models and Modifieds...we can race just about anywhere, but the entry level cars can't. @66vingraph, what class do you run?
i think it would be pretty easy to put lasalle back on top but you would have to have the support of the drivers along with the owners,,,,,,, all the fighting and wrecking, you just cant afford to keep racing when it costs you hundreds to put your stuff back together, they have a thing called demo derbys for that,,, the fighting is just another turn off and on it goes,, the track and what they have done to it is great,,,, you wonder if a few somewhat big shows will pay the taxes etc until either a buyer comes along or they finally take the latest offer and run...
This is the first I've heard about the Thaw Brawl alternating between the two tracks but I did hear he was supposed to bring the hell tour to Oshkosh next year.Quote:
