    Tell his mommy to pull his pants down and give him a whoopin, then! I bet Mr. Erb wont be as nice next time! Those veteran drivers have a LONG memory!

    The track crew did an amazing job getting the track back into shape after the rain. we got there 1 1/2 hours early and couldn't find a seat. It was packed.

    I am no NASCAR fan, but your statement is not even remotely true. Clearly, the racing would be better, but the ratings would be nowhere near the ratings that NASCAR gets.

    Thanks for injecting some sanity, fryefan.

    Just because a little dirt track in podunk Illinois has a run of 2 or 3 years of good racing at a given event and puts a few thousand people in the grandstand it doesn't translate to TV ratings that would be profitable and convince TV sponsors to pay for prime time programming.

    Some folks get a little carried away in the afterglow!

    i agree with everything except the part about 2 or 3 years of good racing...ill admit there was a stretch where the racing at FALS was pretty ho hum at best...but I have been going there about 25 years and overall the racing there is usually stellar

    I'm pretty sure there is a track in podunk Ohio called Eldora. We've got something special on our hands with the PDC. Three different winners, three different nail biting finishes, and three different times the drivers put on an absolute showcase for the fans and I think the fans returned the favor to the drivers. We welcome everyone to come visit our little podunk town because it will be the time of your life. Oh and CIRF it rained the perfect amount.

    The big difference is that the track in podunk Ohio has seating for about 20,000 and hosts a NASCAR National touring division every year which is on national TV. That Ohio track has had races broadcast live on network TV (Wide World of Sports) going back to the 1960's and has had a national reputation for 50+ years. That's a pretty good head start, wouldn't you say? I was only talking in reference to a possible live TV broadcast originating at Fairbury.

    Oh, and you're correct, it did rain just the right amount. If it had been a little more we'd be talking about when they were going to run the PDC and how they were going to handle the rain check situation. Thank you Mother Nature.

    The only question remaining after this weekend... Will Bloomquist be back next year to try and master America's Dirt Track, or will he tuck tail and run for another 10 years?

    Was impressed with his performance Friday night, but not so much Saturday.

    America's dirt track? Hmmmmm.

    I'm bettin' there are plenty of folks from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Iowa and California who'd rightfully dispute that claim.

    But, by all means, carry on. Hehehehe!

    One thing that Fairbury has over Eldora is actual great track prep. Eldora may as well be asphalted.

    Eldora lives on it's great facility with a huge seating capacity, it's history of prestigious races of nationwide fame of "crown jewel" races, and the ability to get away with making a great track of design into a rock hard black asphalt surface. Of which they can still fill the stands no matter what the track conditions are. Not many track can do this.

    On the other hand Fairbury has a great track surface and truthfully much better racing as a result. But not a huge facility to match Eldora.

    Myself, I would much rather see the PDC than the Dream or the World 100 because the actual racing is much better.
