Have you done any upgrades to the facility in preparation for this weekend, or can we expect the same old same old? No sound from the PA in turns 1 & 2, which is premium seating. No food past intermission, and bathrooms that are not fit for human use.
I hope it works out for you, and your able to put some money into the facility, but I fell for this 3 times last year, and not once did I see any improvements.

Hey here is a thought ball bag stfu there are plenty of faults with a lot of tracks but that's no reason not to support them. I honestly believe people can find anything to bi$&h about and when they have done enough well we have a closed track and no where to go on a fri or sat night!

What is GA day of show?

Take a good sh!t before going to the track, eat before intermission.. who needs p.a. why I want someone trying yell over the racing. Only thing that matter was it good racing and was visible to watch.

Advance reserved seats will be on sale until April 15th, general admission the day of the show will be the same as the advance reserved seat prices. Then if you want to upgrade to a reserved seat it will be a 5.00 per seat fee on the day of the event. (available at the track only on the days of the events) There will also be limited general admission seating available.

Can't make improvements if people aren't gonna support there big shows. There trying, give them a chance and improvements will begin. Good luck FCR!

hope I can make it..

Here are some of the Late Model drivers that have indicated they plan to follow the MARS east series, we would expect they will all be at this race. The drivers list will be updated as we learn more. (Subject to change and no guarantee these drivers will be here) It will be great to see some new talent in our area.

No Lucas that weekend. Should draw some good cars

That's correct centeroff, the Lucas guys will be coming up to LaSalle Speedway the following thursday so maybe a few will come up early. This race last year paid 5k to win on friday and 10k on Saturday at FALS and we had about 44 cars.We have increased the purse and cut some classes from the Friday portion to help save the track and improve our efficiency.
