    Default Wow

    Not quite sure wtf the point of this thread was. Does anyone think Izzo is happy with the support he got, I doubt it? Next time he knows f!ck it, cancel. No support, and the new guy on 4m is comparing me to Fairbury.

    People should support them both, especially LaSalle paying out more money. But the weather was awful, and that is why you had not very many cars. Didn’t think they’d get that few, but is what it is. He knows next time to throw in the towel.
    Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

    How easily people forget Fairbury used to be the same back in the 90's and they had to do a ton of improvements even reconfigure the track to get where they are today Big difference when LaSalle doesn't race weekly shows or have extra backing on $ to help support the track.

    This reminds me of grade school where we all bully the new kid.

    7 Street stocks is much better than 20 unless they have a time limit on the feature.

    Several comments I have on this... There aren't as many bigger races going on next weekend, Farmer City pays $10,000 on Friday, and Fairbury pays $15,000. All of those things will lead to a bigger car count and none of them are things Tony caused or has any control over... By the way, next weekend at Fairbury is a MARS race. Tony will be helped by a huge car count since he runs the series. I hope they get it, for everyone.

    This thread reminds me of what is very wrong about this country right now. The “us against them” mentality. That one has to lose for another to win. Two races, more money and fame to spread around to drivers. The complaint from the OP isn’t about poor show management, bad concessions, or an ill prepared track surface. Nope, got to b——h about, well I’m not exactly sure what.
    I hate time trials.

    While weather was an obvious factor for everyone yesterday, I think today being Mother's Day may have played a part in some wanting to stay closer to home, as well.

    I went on Friday knowing car counts looked very low. I love fairbury but I sure hope lasalle can keep running. 1 hour drive home always beats 2

    FALSFAN82's initial post - not even worth a reply. Myself and my wife made a weekend of the event & enjoyed every minute of it. Hiked Matthiessen State Park (awesome water falls), ate lunch at Skoog's Pub in downtown Utica (great burger), hiked at Mitchell's Grove's nature preserve (beautiful dam), discovered a new place to eat - Riverfront bar & grill (nice view of the river), spent too much money at Bath & Body Works (Peru Mall) for her mothers day present....and of course ENJOYED the races both nights. Thanks Tony & crew, keep them coming!

Everyone already knows how good Fairbury is. Yes Fairbury took a chance but, nothing compared to Lasalle. Quite a bit of a difference in the payout wouldn't you say? The bigger the pay the bigger the chance but, hey the fine people of Fairbury feel better this morning thanks to you.
    Say what you want but 16 cars for 12k is a joke no matter how you spin it!

    He is a promoter huh? If he was a real promoter he would have ate money and run the program that was advertised on Friday night. Fans/drivers/crew paid the same price yet was screwed out of a feature 'because of a low car count'...

    Think of it this way. He had the perfect opportunity to draw many top names in. With Lucas being off and other drivers doing their own deal he should have done some real 'promoting' and made stuff happen. There are not many real promoters left in DLM racing. The rest of them are just labeled as such and are really nothing more than track owners that open up the gates hoping they come.

    No Mr. Clueless, if he was a real promoter he would of canceled to save his butt. Instead he gave the fans the best show possible. You weren't there, what do you care other than to beatch about something. Unfcnbelievable.

    Do you have an example of the real promoting he could have done?
