In the rumor department I've been hearing they intend to cover the track in Clay and rrun the woo sprints and lates on June 29th and 30th.

I don't see them cleaning the track enough in 1 day to have regular 4th if July program saturday night

[J20in1st]

Scratch that, this is a go...wow

Is there any truth to this? Seems too quick to promote and get it all together...

Where you see this? They would be going against hell tour at lasalle?

[Josh Bayko]

It's a Wednesday and Thursday. I could see them having a hard time drawing a crowd for such a show.

Interesting.

I live 5 mins from track... They don't draw a crowd there ever other than trailer races. Deerys own it so it does make some sense. Their schedule does say major motorsports announcement for those dates.

Leaving the dirt on permanately and going to ump weekly sanctioned racing.

Been to numerous World Famous Figure 8 trailer races @ Rockford. If you've never seen one, it's a must do at least once. Ole Caterpillar Miller is hard to beat at Rockford.

The dates do line up right with both series being in the area.

One could only wish that was true

Not sure what Deery have to do with it making sense. It'll be a one off show and the house will be packed.

Yes it's a go. This show will promote its self.

First time ever Rockford Speedway to hold woo DIRT sprint cars.

Cuz they run world racing group

The Mid-Season World Finals!

WOO sprints draw a different crowd than late models. The 1/2 mile at Davenport always seemed to draw a much bigger crowd for WOO sprints than any touring LM series.

That is exactly what happened at Elko, Minnesota, a few years ago. Night 1 of a 2-day special event they ran WoO sprints and drew a record crowd for the track of over 5000. Night 2 was a Corn Belt Clash show that drew maybe 200 fans.

[WisWildManFan]

I would assume they wouldn't run WoO late models against the summernationals an hour down the road at lasalle on Thursday June 30. If they were running both I suspect it would be lates 29 and sprints 30.

If you Like As..... Cars this is a great track.. Would make a great dirt track......
