I have to say Rigsby is right. Spoon is a Diamond in the rough. That will be a good show with all those names. Some guys know the place very well & some guys have never see the joint. It’s an interesting mix of cars and drivers.
Per tic tok
It looks like Illinois racer Blaze Burwell will be hitting the road all 4 nights as well.
I think I'm most interested in the race at Spoon.
If it races like it has the last 5 or so years for summer nationals it will be a showcase. This is usually a cant miss track for me during summer nationals but I have to sit this one out and watch at home. Spoon is just so different than what you get from other tracks around central Illinois. High banked, sand/clay. 3-4 will usually black up around the top early when it is hot so you see some unique lines. I think it was last year Bronson came out and never lifted during his qualifying lap. Hopefully they are pouring the water on today…..really looking forward to it.Quote:

Spoon will put on a good show but Lincoln is one I'm itching to see.Quote:

That is no joke. Wasn’t too long ago Bobby, Feger, and Sheppard all ended up on their lids. The first two just dug in and rolled super traction style.Quote:

Low 90's today and tomorrow. We went from 50's and rain, to 90's in a few days. Spring isn't a thing in Illinois anymore.
It's 95 right now with a heat index of 105. Spoon is out in the middle of nowhere. Extremely humid. It's a shocker when like SSU said, 50's for a high to this. Crazy
Yikes. That’s insane. Will that hurt the local crowd count?
^
I doubt it. With the rain outs so far, crowd should be good.
I must be crazy but I could stay home and watch in the AC, but it's my 1st race of the year and only 20 min.ride.
Awesome reply. Kinda, in a weird way, to us down here. I look forward to our first race … but down here our first race is late January/early February.Quote:
