2018 Prairie Dirt Classic - Your thoughts on the race weekend?

[kidrock]

He was passing him regardless...

Lets say this he was at least in a good position to pass Jason for the lead before the caution came out but, the haters are pissed he ended winning and making the show.

Need some help. How can I post in paragraphs? I write it out in paragraphs but it posts as an unreadable 200 sentence body/paragraph.

I thought the racing was pretty decent nothing to brag about other than Bobby getting up on the wheel and transferring to the PDC through the LCQ and the race between Babb, Shirley, English and Davenport

The anthem I missed but, sounds like something I wouldn't have liked but, others did so it is what it is.

For me I can do away with all the pregame stuff and get to the racing part of the program. I thought last nights program went a little long.

I'm glad DoD and Fals came to an agreement to have the PDC on the pay per view so, I can watch it in the comfort of my home.

All in All a good weekend for all those involved. Kudo's to everyone because, putting on an event like this is not no easy task.

I meant to tell him to contact you because I knew you would be able to help him.

Thank you, and heavy metal guitar music and the national anthem don't mix in my op.

Thank you, sir. Lets see if it works?

I remember you saying weekly about Kankakee 15 yrs ago to water the track. Do you think FALS was too moist on Friday and just right Saturday. Looked a bit glazed Friday but Saturday they raced all over the thing. Track was lights out Saturday and despite freakishly good "heats" on Friday I thought it might have had a tad too much moisture.

I'd add to the question asked by the thread starter that for this fan who is by far no expert that this was the best racing I have ever been to. Weather and track were great. Love the format of the "heats" where top 4 advance, 1st place wins 2.5k and top 2 in a redraw. So you not only watch the 4th place spot to advance to the feature but the race for 2nd and 3rd for the redraw spot on top of 1st place for the money. A ton of action, reasons to race hard and consequences in a simple "heat".

Helluva lot of people in the joint but I moved freely and I'm old and fat now and didn't have a problem with any drunks. Was a bit of a hassle between two groups on Friday in the grandstand and 3-4-5 security folks were up there quick along with 2 sheriffs. Thought FALS did a bang up job both on the track and off.

I have not seen videos of the heats yet.

I agree....................

I didn't hear the anthem, but DJ is from fairbury, born and raised, and spent three days at the track, met with tons of fans, played with the band Thursday night, etc. The board and promotion team wanted to try something different and he was more than willing. So while it wasn't something for everyone, I applaud the board for bringing in a hometown person and trying something different.

As for the DUI, my understanding was he was arrested leaving gigs by an overzealous rookie cop, for something that happened on the way to gigs with no proof he was even driving. The same cop wrote a ticket to one of the people parking cars for the track, for driving across first street on a golf cart... while parking cars...

Great racing as always. Harrison puts on a hell of a show whenever he's there, pierce/feger battle was great, and watching marlar go from 19th to 2nd in PDC was awesome too. All in all, another solid PDC weekend.

It wouldn't be a problem if the Modified drivers had a shred of respect. That Kyle Hammer is a weapon.

Him and Bobby P started in Kid mods at the same time and are good friends. his Dad is Don that ran FarmerCity.

As for the racing, it was good, but not as good as in the past.

The negatives:
(1) Who ever is in charge of running the show there needs to read Ben Shelton's article about running an effecient program until they have it memorized by heart. That program should have been completed a lot sooner.
(2) They need to hire more security and keep people from standing/sitting in the aisles and blocking people's view of the racetrack.
(3) The national anthem was an absolute failure.

[Hazelbaker]

Standing room only

I am not surprised there was many standing in the aisles, When we got to the gate at 5 pm they told us all seats were sold and there was very little standing room. They would be happy to take our 35 dollars but that there is no where to sit. As much as we wanted to see the race we decided to leave. Happy they had a great crowd , but that's why people stand in front of the stands and sit in the aisles..

I found two seats when I got there at a quarter to six. Both fat girls were happy as two pigs in plop to sit on my lap!

[Mindwalker]

Great veiw too!!

You had months to get tickets. No excuse for sitting in the isles. Almost witnessed a couple fights Saturday night with people arguing about seats. So many rude people.
