    Farmer City is certainly making a concerted effort to bring some very high quality racing to East Central Illinois. Hat's off to them for planning these events in such a way that has the highest probability of maximum entertainment value. In this case fewer is better in regards to support classes.

    We shouldn't really be all that surprised. They have in place some high quality people in the correct positions to make some of the crucial decisions. Correct decisions, I might add.

    I think we'll be seeing more good things forthcoming from FCR.

      And with Gunner calling the shots things will be much better.

        LOL... I'm not calling the shots, I'm not taking over..... Thanks for your vote of confidence. I'm simply helping to put on this event and there are a lot of other people involved. This event is not about me or any other single person. This is all about how we can keep local racing strong by all working together. There are some really great people behind the scenes. I think everyone will be happy with the Farmer City Fairboard.

          Gunner...you were a huge part of building FALS into the great successful track it is today. Farmer City is lucky to have you on board and I hope to see it grow into the potential it has. It is encouraging to see two tracks work together and hopefully the result will be two tracks in close proximity to each other develop a Friday / Saturday combination that is a can't miss for drivers and fans.

            Thanks to all of you for the vote of confidence,our purpose of this whole weekend is to put on a great high profile event that they (the fairboard) get to call the shots on and can call their own. We have some great people involved in the planning of this event. If it happens to make any profit the first year, the profit will stay at the facility and reinvested towards capital improvements. Weekly racing is tough right now and a break even night is a good night, the only way improvements will happen is if the big races are a success and make a few bucks. Please... if you want to help....... spread the word, buy a ticket, invite some friends, let's pack the place and help the Farmer City Fairboard so some improvements can be done.I Guarantee you there is no promoter walking out of there with a pocket full of money..... None of us can do this alone, but if we all work together for a common goal, it is amazing what we can accomplish. Thanks to All Involved!!

              Gunner, I assure you we'll be there along with probably 7 or 8 friends. In the days and weeks leading up to race weekend we'll be spreading the word and cajoling anyone willing to listen.
