pretty much all of LaSalle's track equipment was purchased by Merritt speedway in northern Michigan. Lasalle is done unless they decide to sell the land off.

It would be cool to see Tri-State Speedway in Haubstadt, Indiana added to that schedule. Not sure what track(s) you could pair with it for a 2 or 3 race weekend.

I agree that a race at Tri-State would be a good addition to the schedule I listed. The only reason I did not include them is because they run a very few events that don’t feature non-wing sprints as the headliner. Their summer nationals race is usually the only late model show they run. I tried to keep my schedule realistic, and I just don’t see Tri-State running another late model race. I’d love to be proven wrong though.

There were quite a few tracks I wanted to add, but didn’t because I just don’t think they would book a show with the Mars series. Tri-State, Kokomo, Gas City, Montpelier, Hartford, Lincoln, Jacksonville, Highland, Charleston, maybe even Kankakee or Shadyhill. I like the 2 race weekends with pairings of tracks that are relatively close together. Plenty of options for Friday-Saturday or Saturday-Sunday tracks and events. Clarksville/Windy Hollow, Bloomington/Tri-State, Thunder Valley/Brownstown, Moler/Lawrenceburg, Tri-City/I-55, Belle-Clair/Fayette County, Farmer City/Fairbury, Lincoln/Spoon River, Plymouth/Kokomo, Gas City/Montpelier. Maybe even Kankakee/Shady Hill or Boswell if their deal works out. I left a lot of those off if they already host a race with another series or rarely have late model shows. All wishful thinking, but I hope the series does well under new ownership.
