          For us it was a fun weekend start to finish. I suspect it was for nearly everyone in attendance. Great weather. Plenty of fellowship, beer and comaraderie. Racing was, by all measures, very good. The finale' had everything late model fans come to see. A little drama, slam-bam action throughout the running order with a finish that had some questionable driving tactics depending on who's ox is being gored.

          One thing is indisputable. Young Pierce has these bull rings figured out. He owns Macon and is approaching that threshold at Fairbury, as well.

          Hope everyone had as good a time as we did! See ya'll next year!

            2013 PDC was the best feature I’ve ever seen when Babb won over Pierce and McDowell. I do think this year was the best complete racing event start to finish that I’ve seen. The action in virtually every race both nights was incredible. Mod feature was the most calm race of the weekend and that still had Harrison knocking down the wall before he broke. FALS delivers every time.

              Whoever is in charge of track prep at this joint should hold training schools for other tracks. Good night was that racy. The most impressive part is...they raced the daylites out of it all evening and the feature was still a thrill show. Masterful performance by the track prep team. Total AAA+ job. 👍

                  Some comments I’ve seen and heard say the track prep is insufficient in the first place if a track requires rework during the night. Hogwash,,,,,,.
                  I hate time trials.

                        It looked like Pierce had time to cross over or check up, just couldn’t because of power steering. Just because a guy slides somebody and contact is made, doesn’t mean it is dirty. Bobby said as much in his interview.

                        The increase in purse next year is odd to me, are they trying to get more people or cars? Because they don’t seem to have room currently for either.

                          Clearly most of you need to watch the interviews peirce said it was a perfectly clean slider he knew Brandon was their the whole time. He tried to turn off the cushion but couldn't because of his steering issues he fought all weekend. So he throttled up (which he also said was the wrong thing to do in any normal circumstance) in hopes that Brandon might leave a lane in an attempt to block the crossover. Congrats to bshepp and Bobby for putting on a great show and bravo peirce for telling it how it is after the race instead of playing the (he wrecked me card)

                            Bobby didn't play the card , but somebody else in here already did........I'm going with Bobbys version.

                            Was a fun race to watch and mean no disrespect to any track out there that hosts big prestigious races but y'all better watch out.......the pdc is knocking down the door at becoming one of the most prestigious races of the year to win.
                            Where is the move over flag when you need it?????

                              LMMS24, I don’t think it is about attracting more fans or cars. I think Fairbury is just trying to pay more back to the racers. They have been doing it all year on the weekly shows and the PDC pay increase is just an extension of that. I’m not sure you will see an increase in car count, but the prestige of the event is definitely going to increase.

                                I can see that. In the announcement they mentioned how they wanted to make it”a true crown jewel.” But with this increase in purse, they might see and increase of fans and something will need to be done about seating.
