    I believe it. They are gonna have to start printing tickets for the backstretch and unless you have one you dont get through the gate. This events grows each year and as long as they let you walk in for general admission with no seat this problem is just gna get worse and worse and somebody will eventually get hurt over it...

        Had heard that people would come to the front stretch and sit because it wasn't as crowded but they had reserved back stretch seats...

          Short of building more stands, they may need to just do reserved on the whole place & when those are gone it is sold out. It was sold out Saturday night for certain. Don't think I have ever seen so many people standing to watch races at a track before. I know I will be renewing my turn 4 bleacher seats as soon as it opens up for next year's race.

          I thought the racing was great all weekend. Some of those Friday night qualifiers were tremendous & on Saturday, the mod feature & late model non qualifier were wild.

            I thought it was an awesome weekend of racing! Multiple grooves that were used by many of the competitors made it exciting. Didn't personally witness any issues with seating or camping.

            I also wasn't to impressed with the National Anthem (just not my style) but I have to give him credit, he can play that guitar, thought it was pretty cool to see a home town person who has done well in life to come home and perform.

            Liked the fireworks, I personally like that during the parade laps as it doesn't delay the show one bit.

            Great job to all the FALS workers!!

              It was a fantastic weekend of racing. My only complaint is how late the shows get over. Seemed to really drag it out Saturday night.

                Id like to say THANKS TO FALS security/officals for helping with stopping a fight at camp area, also for helping get rid of a guy that was stealing peoples beer/drinks/food while we are watching the races on Friday night. Also to Brooksie hope you and your crew had a great time at our spot thursday night and to the others that came down for bags and beer pong, hope to see you all again next year and hope you all had a great time as i know we did.

                  I've been saying this all along. Pay the Full amount when getting reserved seats. There were scattered seats on the backstretch that nobody sat in.

                    I understand why they do it the way they do, they pack the place and make a ton more money. But in the day and age we are in and with the amount of alcohol being consumed there they are taking a chance on running into legal trouble if violence breaks out. Everybody being sue happy and all...

                          starting 29 in the late model feature was a bit obnoxious. And yeah Kyle hammer is a tool, can't drive just like his pops.

                            Don't gripe here, stop into a Central Illinois track and tell Don that.

                                Just because his dad can whoop my a$$ doesn't negate the fact that him and his son cannot drive a race car. You sound like the type of guy who would slap Don's a$$ while he kisses your wife...
