LaSalle??

It hasn't come yet. Maybe they are calming down?

The Bill Waite Jr. memorial FB posted it. But not Lasalle themselves so far.

When your run something that bad . i cant be-leave they lasted this long. They need to sell it and let someone that knows what they are doing run it.

I'm not surprised this has happened. They have been on thin ice for a while now. You never knew from race to race whether they were going to race or not.

At least t4g2 will be able to get home on time Sunday nights to run his multi million $ business

WRG could move Tony's summernationals event to Sycamore. Oh wait, they've already done that screw job.

Tony has only himself to blame for that.

Well someone had to finally pull the plug. I feel bad for Tony but like I said I'm not surprised Kerry shut it down.

Kerrianne is the daughter. It was Kerry Izzo (the mother) that posted it saying she alone made the decision. She, no doubt, was the one keeping things in order behind the scenes and was forced to finally pull the plug when it got to a certain point. A hard decision to make I’m sure.

I just read her facebook post and then corrected my post above thanks for the info. Sad for the family that's for sure.

Over the last few years Tony kinda dug a pretty good hole

It's probably very difficult to successfully run a specials-only schedule in Central Illinois. I know they had a hard time drawing cars for the support classes, since a lot of those drivers (specifically IMCA Modifieds/Sport Mods and UMP Modifieds) compete for track championships and don't want to miss a night at their home tracks.

LaSalle has a location problem. It's too far east to be IMCA, and too close to Fairbury to be weekly UMP. Sycamore is now running Supers nearly every Saturday this year, so that is another big blow.

There simply aren't enough Late Models to go around anymore. The costs weren't reigned in before the technological genies were let out of the bottle. I'm certainly no expert since I'm just an avid (and relatively new) fan, but it appears to me that LaSalle is the latest victim of the out of control costs of Super Late Model racing. If there were enough cars to go around, I'm sure they would still be running weekly. Heck, I remember when Peoria had to run B-MAINS for regular weekly shows, now they've combined the Steel Blocks with the Supers just to artificially increase the car count. The cost of racing is killing racing.

Very well stated truth shiny

Isn't Tony Promoter of the Wilmot event too? Wonder if they'll both be canceled or up for grabs.

Wilmot hasn't had a show on Hell Tour for a few years.
