      I think the Golf carts add to the social part of camping at Falls. You can find old friends and meet new ones, with the mobility. The camping area is fairly large to walk. I don't have one but wished I did.

        Agree and I have no problem with the golf carts in the camping area. FALS has really clamped down on the reckless behavior and parks them after the races. No issues with that whatsoever.
        My problem with them is in the pit area after the races. That pit area is a huge party after the races and very crowded but the same carts kept driving in circles through the crowd. I ain't trying to dump on anyone's good time but constantly dodging the same carts while trying to socialize gets a bit old...

          At the conclusion of the races, 4 wheelers are suppose to be done in the pits for the night. Golf carts should be the same.

              I don't have a golf cart, I didn't see anyone do anything dangerous other than Fairbury officials driving around way too fast.

                Officially over 7,000 in attendance at this year's PDC! Very impressive.

The name FALS came from a select group of friends who started the signs and the track ran with it. Back then you could drive
                  I don't ever remember Fairbury being close to being shut down, what year was that?

                    I understand the complaints about the beach balls in the front stretch but if you sit on the back stretch when you come to FALS? You better be ready for a wild time. I've been there since I was a kid. I remember fights and yelling at the drivers and that's the way I want it to stay whether we have 7,000 or 1,000. That's what makes FALS what it is. Passion for racing. IMO the WOO could bail and we could take it back to 10,000 and as a town we would still make it a jewel. Unless you grew up there you don't understand. It's a cliche but it's the truth. Also I gotta say I hate that the track has profited off several people who came up with the phrase FALS and haven't compensated them once. But we still come back week after week and give our support. I've read this blog for a long time and never posted. As much as ppl talk trash you guys still are paying customers and your opinion does matter. Thank you for the love and hate you show for the track. Either way your making noise for us.

                      FALS about went down after Gary May and Roger Long retired. We lost a lot of good latemodel competition. Luckily we had a good local modified group that kept bringing in crowds

                          My problem with the beach balls were the fact they were being knock around during racing. Very easily could have been knock over the fence interfering with actual competition.

                            I seen one hit an elderly lady in the side of her face and knock off her glasses.

                                Excuse me? I believe that the first appearance of "FALS" was on the speedway website by a certain "prman". He didn't want to type out Fairbury American Legion Speedway every time, thus FALS was used. This I know!
