    Tell you truth that comparing Apple's to oranges. They need haters. Because haters will pay to see if they lose. Track and promoter don't need hate. But if I was looking from track owner, would do the best I could really good racing surface, classes, seating, ECT. But I would give middle finger to the people that complain about every little thing every weekend  like BBQ says "good bbq not cheap", good track with good quality of classes and racing not cheap to go to.

    Nobody cares what those people have to say. In all reality you're a complete moron if you don't attend a track based on what people say on social media. It's just another form of fake news. People with a brain attend tracks and form their own opinions, so blaming social media for closing is an idiotic cop-out. Obviously people didn't attend the track because it was poorly managed. There are plenty of other tracks out there that are successful. People would respect them a lot more if they just admit that they failed.

    Maybe the Kankakee promotion team can pair up with the Oshkosh team and hold a workshop on how to mis-manage a dirt track. Session 1...how to screw up special events, Session 2...how to screw up track prep, Session 3...feel sorry for us, "we're working so hard," Session 4...how to drive away the paying customer and blame everyone else for it

    Did Bloomer ever run there? I saw O'neal win a. Summer National there before, and I think Moyer won a 15K there a long time ago.

    Bloomer has ran there Moyer and O'Neal have won several times as has babb. One of the best races I ever saw was Roderick memorial early 2000's. Seven drivers fighting for the lead for 75 laps with O'Neal coming out on top. Used to be great racing there every week in all classes. The late model drivers left after smith took over. To be a promoter you need to have people skills and thick skin. By the way that s also when the fans left.

    Well 90% of tracks are trash if you look up on 4m search once you start reading what people post on here lol. Just like people bash a track, that never been to the track. "I read it on social media, so I blasted the track too, but never been to the Track." Then you hàve people trying to start their own racing media news feed. they blast tracks just get drama started to get foot traffic to their page to get paid.

    This social site has a lot more competition now........couple that with the laugable moderation and the ridiculous off limits favoritism they show to certain posters and sponsors and you have where we are today.

    It's a cool site......but other than that, it's just a cool site......it isn't a life changer like some make it out to be.

    what i read a couple days ago is they cancelled the ump lates from this Friday show because Peoria is running and there wasnt much interest. but they didnt drop the pit pass price which was $40 but did give a lower price on admission and alotta people were complaining. its a shame i wanted to run the run what ya brung show for fun and i like the track just tough for me to run on Fridays because of work.

    Anybody got a picture of Bloomquist at Kankakee? I won't believe it until I see it. It must have been the year he ran the Summer Nationals.

    Was during SummerNationals. We ran some after race practice laps and he asked for a 4 wheeler ride to the front stretch. Good conversation with him.
