Mike Norris leaves Farmer City announcers stand.

[turnleftandgasit]

The hundred people that attend the races there will miss him. Just another nail in the tracks coffin.

Get a life, My god we know you dont like the place...Maybe he just dont want to do it no more...

[turnleftandgasit]

My post isn't against Mike. He said he wanted to spend more time with family. More power to him.

I would love to be a fan of the place again. I gave them 3 chances last year. The only thing I noticed that was different was the availability of food after the heats. Bathrooms were still beyond horrible, PA wasn't working. I don't like being lied to.

Running all the support division features before the Summernantionals feature last year left a bad impression on me. It's like they intentionally burned up the track so that the race that everybody traveled (8 hours in my case) to see would suck. That was completely inexcusable.

One who listens to the pa system two why the hell don't u bring a grill and cook and 3 well ok i see ur point on bathrooms. I would like to know where else ya gonna go on friday night in central il to see super late models!?when it comes to support classes i have said this before and always will u only need supers,mods and one other class that's it people don't travel to see support classes. I think if fc could get big race like the pdc man oh man they have the grounds and space.

1. Many people listen to the PA. From jotting down qualifying times to knowing who is on the track. Not everyone knows every driver by sight, especially in support classes. I also think they owe it to the businesses that sponsor the cars. The track is so far away from the stands, many can not read the wraps on the cars, so being announced over the PA is the only way a business will get credit for sponsoring a car. I can hear the PA at FALS from behind the horse barns, yet couldn't understand/hear it sitting in the south stands at FC.

2. I very seldom cook at home. Not gonna load up crap to do it away from there. I don't drink, so they aren't gonna make any money off me on that. Guess they will just have to survive off their Pepsi sales.

3. You are correct about no good place to watch SLM's in central IL on Fridays. That is why I travel on Fridays. FALS is so strong now that you can't hardly go anywhere for a 2 day show because it isn't worth missing FALS.

I'll miss Mike. I can't hear him while I'm racing, but when you watch the shows video later you can hear what a great job he would do! When he had the time he'd always stop by before the races, and that means something to a back marker like me. He also took the time to learn the correct pronunciation of my last name (which has forever been butchered by many), and I appreciate that greatly.

Good luck sir and enjoy the time with your family! And welcome and good luck to his replacement, Tyson!

well that sucks I like Mike but understand the family part of it..

I will never be back to farmer city after that summernationals race last year. Hope the place closes no excuse for that kind of stupidity.

How quickly everyone forgets, like 12 years ago all the racing at FALS was one lane on the bottom. You couldn't pay me to go there at that time. It took over a decade to get FALS built back up and GOD only knows their bathrooms sucked for maybe 50 years. IMO if the fairboard wouldn't ever had gotten rid of Sargent. FC would still be the better track. Promoters due stupid things all of the time. Hopefully the promoters learn and try to improve. Thank you to the current promoters for trying to save and bring the track back. Back to Mike, sorry to hear that you won't be there on Fridays. Hope you have an outstanding year, welcome to the new announcer and hope my home track in Illinois -- FARMER CITY does as well.

In a sport where tracks and drivers leave the sport everyday it seems like anymore, but yea let's wish another one to close. That way when the locals have no where to go race or watch racing anymore, we can thank goons like you for bashing race tracks. There's no excuse for your kind of stupidity either IMO. I've been too several race tracks I thought weren't worth going to, I just never went back.

What happened at the Summernationals race last year?

[golddirt]

If I recall right choo choo. I'm thinking the top ten finished pretty much where they started Marler won from the pole?
