No Lucas that weekend. Should draw some good cars

[Farmer City Raceway]

That's correct centeroff, the Lucas guys will be coming up to LaSalle Speedway the following thursday so maybe a few will come up early. This race last year paid 5k to win on friday and 10k on Saturday at FALS and we had about 44 cars.We have increased the purse and cut some classes from the Friday portion to help save the track and improve our efficiency.

Great 4 day swing. Nice to see tracks working together instead of scheduling against each other. Thanks F.C.

Just Announced, The Sunday May 14th Race at Spoon River Speedway has sanctioned with the MARS Late Model Series along with ALMS and UMP. Great Job to Matt Curl and the fairboard at #FALS, Brad Denney and his staff at Spoon as well as the staff at MARS for their help in putting this awesome weekend together. One driver could take home $38,000 in one weekend with very little travel between tracks.

Nice work

Good follow up Gunner.

Nice to see reduction to 2 classes on Fri. This weekend has 2 established tracks and now Spoon under new mgmt steppin right in to be a part in it. Most folks in IL know what potential Spoon has always had (no bashing of previous owners here). It'll be interesting to see where that track goes in the future.

Hey Dirt Crow: I love it. For me: hotel booked, vacation day taken, ready for the 5 hour trip down from WI. Might even have to include Spoon if the weather's good.

Go 18!!

Just an FYI, for any fans or teams looking for hotels, the manager at the Normal, IL. Hampton Inn & Suites is a huge race fan and welcomes all the racers to his store. He has a very nice clean facility and its centrally located about 30 minutes from both Farmer City and Fairbury. The Hampton Inn & Suites is located near shopping centers for the ladies and also lots of great food choices close by. Contact the store general manager Richard Raube(309) 452-8933 and let him know you're coming in town for the races, he will take very good care of you.

slydejob18, This will be a awesome weekend of racing at the three premier tracks in Illinois. Spoon has continued to get more specials each year since Morey's son Brad Denney took over control of the track and his track prep has been outstanding compared to years past. Looks like he has really stepped up this year with all the specials I see on their schedule. With Morey and Brad now having full control over Spoon I only look for bigger things out of the best kept secret in Illinois.

Nice place to stay, easy to get to, and centrally located among the tracks. They also have a very good breakfast buffet, if you don't feel like going out for breakfast.

Update for the May 11th-14th weekend, The MARS series will now co sanction the $3,000 to win Late Model Feature on Thursday May 11th at Farmer City Raceway. This race was originally scheduled to be a stand alone UMP race but will now add both the east and west MARS series drivers. This will add a great group of drivers all looking for the perfect setup for the $20,000 to win feature the next night.

Ya see! This is what I'm talking about. A track making smart moves and good decisions. Big event for supers, so cut lower classes. Excellent! I dream that tracks in my neck of the woods would do this. When we have big super events, they have ever class in the world racing, tons of hot laps for everybody, and time trial everything in sight, just burning up the racing surface. Hats off to the Farmer City staff! I love it!!
