    I wouldn't venture into Illinois for any dirt racing. You;ll find it's just the opposite.

    On a side note, I did see EPJ up on the cushion for a short while Saturday night. Larry Moring must have told him, if you want to drive my car, get up there on the cushion with the real racers. I checked his pit stall afterwards just to make sure it was Earl behind the wheel. Nice job big guy. You can do it

      i wish they would pay more attention to the bottom of the track. the guys running the outside groove are fun to watch but many of us cant afford to trash our cars every week scraping that wall. its usually too wet to run on the bottom or no water at all. otherwise florence has a great racetrack as long as there are teams that can afford the wear and tear. this is a personal request though as im one of the guys that dont like tearing my car up for $100 bucks.

        Yes it was. Till a couple morons ruined it. And Jack and Donna Lentz shut the doors. Sweet location too.

        Was there for a NEWS race in about 1996? maybe. $5k to win, Francis, Charlie Swartz, and I think Chub Frank. Awesome racing, great place. I assume it still stands, just rotting away. Jack used to go out there on a big old smooth drummed roller and roll the track.

        Great people, who just had some people that ruined it for them. Others are closer to that area that know more, but I think a track worker was almost killed by a stock driver who lost his sh!t.
        Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.
