    Default Peoria car count

    I saw Peoria only drew 10 cars last night, with two of them being out-of-towners. Fairbury drew 27, granted Highland rained out and a handful of their guys came up. I hate to see a weekly SLM track struggle so badly. Is it time for them to work with Farmer City and Fairbury and perhaps switch to Sundays? They would probably draw more cars that way. It doesn't make sense to me to have two tracks 62 miles apart run Supers on the same night.

    Tell the owner to quit pi$$ing off the drivers...theirs a reason guys who used to run there every week are not anymore...l also know fans that been going there for years and will not return...the only reason they had some of the drivers there last week was because Fairbury wasn't open yet....Rusty came in there last night and got some easy UMP points and some money..

    Dont pay a lot of points for only 10 cars ...With only 10 cars the points drop...

    10 cars is 75 points lower than 10 cars is when it starts to drop. 🍒

    Are they still charging people to get back in if you go to your car during intermission?

    Only 8 at Quincy. Tough times for supers right now. Some of it is protest to the latest ump rules.

    Black F, what is your problem with Spoon River? Did they ever do that? I don't remember them doing that, but I didn't go there in the 80's and 90's.

    I know now that the only money I give them after I go to my truck is for another cooler full of beer if we choose to drink that many, and it's cold and still cheaper than buying beer at any track. But to go out and have a smoke or lay down in the camper during intermission? They don't charge me to get back in. That's why I go there now.

    Wonder how high the creek is and if it's over the banks.

    Oh, it's over the banks alright and some. Late this afternoon things will probably get ugly. Hope Jason is prepared for it. I know they have a lot of preventable measures in place for flooding now. Hopefully it's not as bad as some of the past floods.
