    It's a shame they paved Hawkeye Downs. Saturday nights where never the same. Anyone remember when they only ran flatheads and six cylinders on the 1/4 mile, inside the big track

    Voted Other - Shepp's Speedway Alexander Illinois. Saw some (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) good Late Model races there!

    I really liked Central Park and Taylor County also now that you mention them. Seen great racing at both of them. Even when McHenry shortened the track it was good.

    Was at McHenry one night and a transformer caught on fire. Was you there?

    Been a long time since they raced,don't remember for sure. I mostly went to the bigger money shows. I'm like you,I enjoyed both size tracks.Thought the racing was more flat foot or all out with the shorter track.Always wondered how no cars ever went over the 3&4 guardrail.Always seemed like perfect place for that to happen.Were rumours of opening back up a couple years ago.
