Someone said they ant a big one... LOL will now they CANT say that NO more..
Drivers love coming to this track and now the Track is paying them back for coming.
PDC IS a Classic and a BIG ONE Cause Cold Stone Says so.. Have a beer.

I wonder if Mr. Curl will have to consider making the PDC. a Late Model only race in the near future. Also, the powers that be should consider doing something creative around turns 1/2 for more seating, even if it's a grass hill for lawn chair/ blanket type area.

Have heard they working on that they have added last 3 years and plan to add more.
the seats in 1 and 2 are on the 1/2 mile so they have to be were the can remove them if they have to

Need more seats for sure. They really need to tear down the frontstretch wooden stands and put large new ones up. Did they also move the dates back one week for next year?

[t4g2]

not sure what their going to do. no room for seats or pit parking. you raise the purse which will got more cars an more fans. turns 1 and 2 to risky to put seats there as they even have signs park at your own risk. as far as grandstands they won't go anywhere. there well built an oldest around as far as 1/2 mile track I do believe since its a fairgrounds they have to race on it once a year by illinios law. and yes they kinda moved it back a week just how the calendar falls. I'm guessing cedar lake got moved back a week to.

You are correct. I checked and Cedar Lake was moved back too. They could tear down that beer stand building on the backstretch and put more stands there? I have to anticipate they have a plan if he wants the event to grow.

[t4g2]

I know their in the process of buying farmland down the road. but that won't solve the problems that need to be addressed. I did hear that was talk with the beer stand being moved an bleachers added. I also heard getting extensions/add ons for bleachers they have already.

It’s already a crown jewel in my mind

[turnleftandgasit]

I can't remember them running horse races on the half mile in a decade or more.

Dont have to no more

[t4g2]

don't they run harness races during fair? just asking

[CILDirt]

I heard that since Curl bought it the horse track and grandstands can go. I don’t think the grandstand will be gone anytime soon, but I did hear a rumor it has less than 5 years left. If they do that they could put all new large grandstands closer to the track on the front stretch. They could cram more campers on the grounds if they needed to. Especially in the back. I think the private sites and overflow west of town really helped.
