    How many years can fairbury go with these big races and not add more seets? I say if this year's race wins race of the year they will have to build more seats or they will turn away alot of paying customers. Build it and they will come.

    This is only the second time (first was Summernationals) for ordering tickets via web site so give them time to get the bugs worked out.

    They need to tear down the front stretch grand stands and put bleachers up, also move them closer. It'll never happen though.

    add seats for 2 weekends per year?? doubt it. Maybe some temporary seating but putting up permanent seating would be a waste of money.

    So how many people reserve extra seats for $5 a piece? Seems like it would be better just to make you pay for ticket up front... Uncle Sam get his paws on that tho

    ILL fair rules say they must keep the 1/2 mile track.. (at least they did at one time) Thats why FarmerCity still has there's...They use too have to run at lease 1 horse race a year. Don't know if they still have too do that....

    I would agree with this. Those grandstands where made for midgets. You have no leg room.

    New bleachers cost about 135 bucks A SEAT ..If you hunt and find a good deal.. So it take a lot of money too get them and then it takes 6 races of them being full to pay for them be for you make a Dime off them...Then it would take about 25,000 to pay for the stands too be sent to the dump.. Cost a lot to dump trash now....so it would be well over a 100,000 to put up new Grandstands.. Thats just for the covered stands....
