Went a little long but I never complain about time. Opie did him wrong, life will go on. Don't call the cops, let them settle it. All in all I had a good time. Hit Macon and FC also this week. Both of those shows were worth the trip also.

Fals did call the cops. So nothing was done. As far as time fairbury has time limits and curfew. Some locals that live by track complained.Comment

I was checking race monitor and was shocked that the 1st late model heat didn't finish until 1000 pm. They know better than that.Comment

Curious if Fairbury still has the curfew? No way they thought they'd get that show in by 10:30/11:00. If so what time is the curfew. Been to a few races at FALS this yr and all went late. This is normal now? Helluva show though, no doubt. First time seeing the Midgets and thought they were fantastic. Raced all over the track. Looked to me they were near as fast as the Sprints. Any idea how close they are in speed? Remember Spatola from Kankakee and he always raced clean. Was that "slide job" (wasn't so much a slide job cuz if Schmidt wasn't there his nose would have hit the wall) out of character for him? As mentioned he probably would have caught and passed Schmidt as there were 15 laps left at the time. Took way too long but still on helluva show.Comment

The show did drag on as I spent a lot of time looking at my watch since I had to be up early. Good races none-the-less. Don't know why the sprints can't qualify more than one car at a time and all the red flags was a little over the top. They ought to be able to keep the cars moving using half the track and infield on the light rollovers. Regarding Spatola/Schmit, I am sure Opie wishes he could reconsider his choice for a slide-job. Not the greatest decision. Speaking of decisions, I hope I never see a track worker place himself right in front of a car again as the third turn worker did as he ran to stand in front of Schmits car to keep him from confronting Spatola on the track. There is no way to know the current state of mind of the person behind the wheel and putting yourself in harms way is just stupid. I hope FALS addresses this with their personnel this week.Comment

Oh ptown...of course you have to comment on a thread about FALS. Never fails!! And the homers comment...if you don't like FALS so much, DO NOT COME!!!! Speaking on the Schmitt/Opie situation...how do you know Opie has endless funs and Scott doesn't? Do you even know Scott? Do you even know Opie? By that comment, I'm going to go with a NO! Did Opie screw up? Oh heck yeah. Will they both be out there racing hard this coming Saturday...Heck yeah!! When anyone gets behind the wheel and a situation like this happens, yes, it is going to get heated. It never fails!! Also, I agree about the turn three worker...With the tempers and adrenaline high from the situation just prior, you should NEVER stand in front of a car. This is the 2nd time I have seen him do this and almost be hit. Yes, drivers should respect an official. I get that. But stand on the SIDE of the car...NOT IN FRONT OF IT!!!Comment
