    I give Farmer City a butt load of crap about being a dump. I would like to apologize to them. You may be a human waste hole, but you generally have good racing. When I finally make my FL racing trip, I will not be stopping at GIS.

      A few years back Randell chupp took a previsional and won the race so there is some good racing in the track unfortunately the new owners don't know how to bring it out.

        Oh yeah. He was awesome that night. Was just on DoD recently. Dunno if they changed the track, or didn't prep it right, whatever, it was pretty bad.
        Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

          The track is changed. The infield is pushed out some. The tire rule is hurting the racing as well.

            That's what's wrong with alot of tracks people have something good and their egos says I can make it better and most of the time they make it worst.

              Sometime last year the new owner fired Darrell Courson, who had been doing a good job with the track prep for the past couple of years. We thought at the time it wasn't a smart thing for them to do.

                Have you noticed though, there is a 12 feet flat area at the bottom of each turn? Don't know if it would help, but they should make it part of the racing surface by adding a little banking to this area.

                Note...check out tmacs and sheppards dod interview from fri nite. They both said the turn entries are too tight from the infield being pushed out too far.

                  I saw all of that. Sometimes a flat bottom works for evening it with the longer way around. I think they may just need more room. But, forcing them to run 1300 isn't helping the track any.

                        Problem is not these tracks. It's the cars!!!! They are so aero sensitive they just follow the leader, hardly no passing. When you get 20 or so cars running the same line, lap after lap, it's gonna rubber up. Once that happens it's over.
                        Until these sanctions get together and enforce some rule changes there are gonna be more train races. I for one hate these late model bodies in today's racing!

                          I didn't think it was that bad.

                            GIS was on my watch list from 2 years ago. Last year wasn't bad but this year puts it back on my watch list.The track has to have 2 good shows with passing before I consider going there. Even then I am skeptical. If you don't know a stinker, when you see one. too bad. The only guys that got passed where the guys that got stuck on the high side. As one driver said," I tried the high line and thought I was going to 95th spot. Sorry to who ever I cut off getting back to the rubber, but I was in a hurry".

                              I probably attend more races in the first two months of the year than you do all year. You look real smart yourself, with your junior high texting lingo....seems like you need to get off the tit and learn a few things.

                              No it wasnt a great show. But I'm not sitting behind a computer screen bashing it either, I got out and supported the race. It's not the first sh!t show ive supported and it won't be the last. I know what I do for living is not fun, and being at th races is by far better than there.
