    Been in that situation before. Yea we're going to run it and still race. One tractor on the track working it. We're getting a couple more tractors they'll be here shortly. 2 1/2 hrs later the other tractors never showed up and we're going to cancel. Wasted all that time and held everyone hostage. Could've been out of there early and at the casino instead.

    Hopefully this is the final straw for the dump.

    Announcement was made in the pits. I think they're putting us out of our misery.

    My dad and i stood back tonight and was discussing how they hold people hostage if they could get their $h!t together and have some pr work done plus new pa for front stretch,paint the grandstands, replace some bleachers and use better time management this place could work also the announcer should be talking right at 6 giving run down welcome people etc tonight reminded me why i go to fals. I was told and do know this if they would have started after midnight would have gotten heafty fines from city town don’t support the place, i hate to say it but might be time for new management jmo.

    I bet the concession stand didn't lock up and leave.

    They replaced one board on the grandstands. Total rebuild in their eyes. I had to park south of the creek at the PDC. Pretty good walk. Would be like parking downtown FC. We listened to the PA as we tailgated. Last weekend, I could barely hear the PA parked behind the concession stands at FC. With the whoop section on the back stretch, FC should look at running a TT race as a warm up for Peoria TT's. Have they redone the bathrooms, or was that a lie also? Lets not forget that the town HATES the track. Unless the town/fair board changes it's feelings towards the track, new MGT will be met with the same issues everyone else has had to deal with. I could go on and on but you get the point.

    Yes the woman's bathroom got remodeled. And you all would have complained if they didn't try to rework the track now you complain because they tried. If you can do better sign up for it. Make a offer on leasing it or better yet come volunteer. You can't compare fc to fairbury 2 completely different situations. One half owned with non profit backing the other half. Verses a guy leasing the track.

    Cracks me up when businesses in it to make a profit ask for volunteers...screw that if you can't run it and pay people decent wages then don't expect people to work for free for your benefit...

    If guys are loading up and leaving and there's not many fans left there that should be a clue to not hold people hostage any longer without making a decision. A decision should've been made after an hr. Not 3 hrs later.

    Would anyone have been happy if they had run the track in and restarted the show after midnight? Not sure about support class cars, but there would have been fewer than 10 late models left. No thanks...

    Was out of there before 10:30. Outcome was pretty inevitable. Yeh, it rained. Time to blame the track.
