IL tracks bickering
Tammy from Tri-City had a Facebook live this morning and she talks about the bickering going on among the IL tracks that have opened/not opened. If you have 30 minutes its a worthwhile listen, she is very professional throughout.

Haven't seen the vid yet. Will look later. Was actually coming here to post re: Illinois tracks. I noticed that the drag strip in Madison is having an event with 20% capacity attendance this coming Saturday. They are following the guidelines the IL Motorsports Coalition established. Also, Fayette County is running with fans Friday night (mods $2k to win). Wonder if the tracks have just decided to go it alone or they are all getting ready to at least have a small scale opening.
I saw something yesterday (facebook maybe), intimating that Macon & Lincoln may have a race this coming weekend. Sargent has been one of the leaders of the coalition which makes me wonder if all the tracks are getting ready to move ahead on it.

Many northern Illinoisans are going up to Wisconsin (including myself. Wilmot, Darlington, Slinger...). Illinois and the other states not running by now may not open this year at all, at this point.

I've been to Pevely 3 times in last month to watch races. Went to $5k late model show, outlaw sprints & USAC last night. Makes for some late nights but at least getting my fix.

Yesterday Fayette County Speedway posted on their Facebook page about Tammy Gundaker supposedly with an issue over Fayette county and something to do with opening up.

Charleston Speedway has been racing the last few weeks. Not sure if them not having a liquor license matters or not as this track doesnt have one.

Spoon River just posted on facebook they are going to run this Saturday. Admission limited to 500 first come first served.

Call it a protest and there's no limit on the crowd.

Was just coming to update with Peoria opening as well. Gonna guess FALS and Farmer city will go by the following week. Jacksonville is gonna be tough cause they have a small seating capacity.

Tammy needs to shut up.

Ok, what does a liquor license have to do with re-opening?

It's an easy revenue stream at a racetrack.Consider that a case of beer is usually paid for at a racetrack or bar in less than a third of the quantity ordered, and hard liquor paid for in ~ 3 or 4 pours of a fifth, and the rest of that is profit or use for other expenses.
