    FALS question? Opinions appreciated

    For someone that's never attended a race at FALS what kind of car count can be expected for the summer nationals race? Would like to think at least 30... was curious if it is just mods as the support class or others as well. Is there anything to do in the area, restaurants? What's there or near? Any input is appreciated! Thanks

      Mods & Street Stocks

      I would think 30-40 LM's I believe the other thread probably had 20-25 cars with the race scheduled.

        There were 19 late models there this past Saturday for a regular night and that was without any of the SN guys...so if that tells you anything. There will be late models, Mods, and Street stocks racing this Saturday night. Fairbury is a small town but supports the track like no other. I was born and raised in Fairbury and still reside there. Where are you coming from makeDirtgreatAgain? Fairbury has some small town shops you can stop in at, there are a few restaurants/bar and grills on main street as well as our new Mexican restaurant located on the west edge of town right on rt. 24. Pontiac is 20 minutes north west. Bloomington is located 35-40 minutes south west. Hope this helps

          If they don't let it lock down this year it'll be great. I'm hoping last year was a fluke...

            Last year there was 100+ cars between the 3 classes if I remember correctly. Like the others have said you will not be disappointed.

                It seems you all have positive things to say about the track so that's awesome. What about food in the area, any restaurants you've had great food that should be tried or maybe even a eat way more than you should challenges?

                  I was disappointed last years summernationals was a locked down freight train race, I think the track will be better this year, hopefully track president Leroy Rodriguez want be running around like a lunatic screaming at people. Expect 35 to 40 late models, last two weeks only 8 and 12 modifieds showed up so you can expect around 30 of them Saturday.

                      Blackie was at Marion when there was a lockdown... I was in the cell next to him.

                      But I didn't do it...

                        Were making the 5 hour drive. When we go to Fairbury we usually go to Benchwarmers to eat.
