    Feel bad for Lasalle, the fans, and drivers, but I called this dumpster fire a month ago.

    DLM racing in March/early April in the Upper Midwest = bad proposition. Heavy jackets, boots and gloves meant for hunting deer, not watching a DLM race.

    A Fall Brawl in mid to late October would be a better venture imho. May be 35 then too, but better chance of staying dry. Also better chance for 50's and dry in mid to late October than late March. My $0.03...adjusted for inflation.

      No one had cabin fever in October and they have been watching races all summer long. It’s a gamble in spring but in October you would never have a potentially great pay off. Should be a one day show from the start, 50% of 2 day shows at lasalle end up one day or no day shows.

          I like LaSalle and has produced some darn good racing; but has much as I hate to say it I think this race was doomed from the beginning of the week with the crappy forecast. This time of year in the Midwest and Greatlakes region if always iffy with weather. Hopefully they get the race in Sunday. That's the chances you take being a promoter and having races this early in the season.

            If they cancel Sunday I believe this would be the end of lasalle. Even if he loses money on the deal I think it would be worse to cancel for his sake imo

              I'm unfortunately going to have to sit this one out with a failed water pump (I hope that's all it is). Have fun everybody! Hopefully I'll get to shake off the cabin fever at Farmer City next week.

                    They had a picture of turbo bowling at the center in Peru. I am just excited to get To go to one of the three races I can go to this year. Having the day race reminds me of the days of the 200 at good old Santa Fe. If your going tomorrow have safe travels. Looking forward to hearing the sounds and smelling the racing fuel tomorrow.

                          0-3% I just hope they race period. Anyone know a red 74 modified with open trailer coming from north west? Saw him drive by me today before cancellation

                            Izzo brought that on himself.

                              Have to agree with the cabin fever theory. People are bored and tired of Winter. If this hit a lucky warm day, could be about a sellout crowd. Luck hasn't been on their side though. I have been baffled in the past. Late August/early September. 70 degrees at 10 pm and dead track. Excuses are High School Football, family activities etc. IMO, if they had half decent weather for March, they'd get more people than they'd get for this event late summer on a perfect night. Hope the risk continues to be worth it for Tony.
