Vermilion County speedway ceased operations. Sad to here. Great track, great area. Always said get rid of there fair board, they make it impossible to run that place.All of em a bunch of money grubbing crooks. Hope your God almighty fair keeps you happy. There is and has been so much politics with that track. Could be a big asset to a broken down chicago gang ridden town.
More than that
in years past, the board has caused problems-----but not this board----the problem is that Danville is a crap town with few well paying jobs and just won't support the track----you can't make money when there's only 200 people in the stands. too bad-----it has always been one of the raciest tracks around-----Danville is just a dying townQuote:

Well from my sources, the fair board contributes nothing to this track, other than send me a check every month. What have they had like 5 promoters since Phil got out of it. What's the common denominator? The fair board.!!! All the promoters can't all of em not know what they are doing. So many f n stories, fair board says the state owns the thing. TheN say oh someone else owns the pit area. Just one thing after another.No real answers just political bs. Clendenon and his group were doing it right,trying to build it back up and guess what, Fairboard wants more money. So I guess the state can have it, there f n broke too.
I'm from Danville and moved to Indiana 22 years ago, best thing I ever did. I grew up on the eastside of town and back then you could leave your doors unlocked and there was many well paying manufacturing jobs. Now all the good jobs are gone and the eastside is nothing but a bunch of Chicago Section 8 porch monkeys that like to shoot each other over a dime rock. I say give 'em all guns and let them do their self's in. It would save all the honest working taxpaying citizens a boatload of welfare money.............
As rude as it might be to say. HA ha ha. Those 3rd & 4th lines caught my attention very quick. LOL. :)Quote:

That's it right there it is a Sunday track!!!! I'm not a big sprint fan but when they ran sprints the people came. After last year the way things were out there lucky I came back the one time I did this year. Tryed twice but they ticked me off at the gate and I went elsewhere. I don't personally know Darrel but saw what happened at charleston a few years back.
If someone with now how run it on Sunday IT WOULD WORK...Lots of people that live in Champaign go to FarmerCity would all so go to Danville if it ran on Sunday...Run it like KKK this is what happens...Lots of people from Ind. would all so come.. 1/2 the cars in the P lot had Ind. plates on them.....Quote:
