What's up with the format? Not a real 100 lapper n my opinion... What a disgrace.... Why even advertise it as 17thousand to win... Breaking it up like they did..😠

[Ryan21mid]

I never saw it advertised as 17k to win. Saturday was still 15,000, Sunday was 6,000 like it usually is on the prelim night.

I absolutely hate the format. However, if they insist on splitting it up, they should split it into twin 50 lappers.

Kind of curious about this - actually have an article in the works about format - so I'm interested in your thoughts here.

Me personally I prefer to see a complete show each night, than to see a show with qualifying and heats one night, and then b-mains and a feature the next night.

Please let me know your thoughts.

I don't understand why people wouldn't want to see 2 features instead of 1. There aren't enough cars anymore to fill up an entire night's program with just qualifying and heats. If a track is going to schedule a 2 day show with one feature then they should have 2 sets of pill draw heats on night 1 like I-80 and Florence.

I like that their is 2 shows but 25 laps? That's really short on a short track.

Think they would have to work a little harder then 25 laps for 5000 or more bucks... Make it 40 and 80 lap shows,,,

[Highside Hustler25]

The 25 lap race was way better than the 75 lapper. So now what?

I think most every one wants to see the two nights each with its own feature. Just the length of those features are in question. 25 laps for $6,000 seems a bit short. How about 40 for the $6,000 and 100 for the $15,000 to have a true Illini 100.
Even after the two prelim nights at Eldora they still have a World 100.

Thank for the correction! But I'm pretty positive I seen 17.000 to win quite sometime ago. Just saying. Thanks again though

How many lates did they draw in for this year?

I really like the format at the Firecracker. Complete shows with qualifying each prelim night, and basically a complete show the final night sans qualifying, with the heats set up from a driver's best point total on one of the prelim nights.

[bullring]

I pity the fool who wouldn't want to see a feature each night

[ptown]

Complete show both nights, only a fool would pay to watch 4 heat races one night then go home and pay again the next night to watch a feature.
