    Default Farmer City Improvements????

    Well after the weekend did anyone know how they made out? Seemed like great on car counts and it was decent, at least friday, on fan attendance. I know this race was centered on taking all profits and putting them back into the facility. Anyone know what improvements they are looking at and when now that the race is over? Thanks!

    As far as the track itself goes... leave it be! The rest of the place, well.... Lol, plenty room for improvement but imo you can leave it alone too. FC is great racing!! Thats all that matters to me...

    WHAT??? No Mr. Wetter, NO!!! If you was to do that with dollies go the other way... then haul that junk out!! Lol, putting up better ones is the why to go, then put them closer the the track!

    The back stretch yes... Put them closer. I set back there before and by the end of the night I looked stoned from squinting all night Dam, hahaha....

    At one time they had to run a Horse race once a year to keep the fair Sat with the State .. i don't know if they still have to do that now or not ...That is why they did not move them be for..
    There is a reason Fairbury and FarmerCity still have a 1/2 mile track..it has something to do with the Not for profit..With the State..

    Actually I'm far sighted and yes that grandstand is actually pretty far away from the track.

    They need to put up a wall Like Fairbury did and put the seats in the inside of the big track and the out side of the small track like Fairbury did....

    Maybe they could use a clock so they could get the racing started at a decent time.

    Honestly we thought the racing was a little off from what we have come to expect. Maybe the rain hurt the track?

    I think their board is bad. I listen to the PA broadcast on 87.9 with my headphones and I could still hear the static/interference.

    I am in no way affiliated with the track, but I have heard the bathrooms and a score board were some things. They did take a survey earlier this year to get input from the fans. I would assume they will have to see how the rest of the season goes, then make those plans in the off season.

    they need a scoreboard.

    If they moved the seats closer to the track where would we get our donuts?

    From what I've heard that's the number one priority.
