Summer nationals

[GEAR_HEAD]

Are you sure TC, FALS and E Moline are still scheduled to run in the same order as originally scheduled? WRG needs to get off their asses and make some decisions. Do they not realize folks need to plan ahead as far as there work schedules go. Their should be a schedule in place by now. Darn near everyone is up and running now.

That's how it is on the new schedule. All of the track's Facebook pages confirmed those dates are correct. I have my vacation and hotels booked so they better not change it again.

You definitely won't see Bobby Aug 12-15 on the Hell Tour with the North/South running 4 days this year and 60K up for grabs.
That's his family's home away from home track in Florence.
You have the USA Nationals in Wisconsin for 50K to win and then the Silver Dollar Nationals in Nebraska for 53K to win.
That's some unfortunate scheduling they have to go up against for 3 weekends in a row.
Will be interesting to see which big name drivers decide to stay commited to Hell Tour the entire way.

I don't think you can say one way or another at the moment. If he's killing the summernationals tour, he'd be stupid to give up the $25,000 point fund money to go run a race he may or may not win.

His Dad does NOT miss the North/South...2 things could change that. Weather and/or Florence Speedway not opening.
Out there I'm hearing the King's aren't challenging the Governor of Kentucky like some other tracks are.
They aren't even giving PR updates that I know of?

So, maybe they won't even run the race.
That's a huge moneymaker out that way.

Also, isn't Bobby the defending Champ for SDN??

Shirley is.

Championship goes to Shirley

What percentage of seats will the Illinois tracks be able to sale for these races?

It would be great if they all occur, but with covid-19 starting to spike again I personally would not buy any tickets/rent rooms unless they are guaranteed to be refundable.

This is all I've seen for a couple weeks.

Fryefan, if farmer city this past weekend was any indication, they'll advertise the covid corrupt B's, but it will be standing room only come summer nationals time. That fat POS governor isn't going to control things for long!

I’m planning on coming down from Michigan and hitting Plymouth through Spoon Rive then going to the Lucas race at Tri-city then highland for the next night of summer nationals. Are all the hotels open in Illinois?

How was the racing at Farmer City?

[kidrocket1]

My personal opinion, the racing was great. Later start than advertised, but it was hot and the sun was killing the track. They put extra water down and did it right. There was only roughly 20 late models, but they put on a hell of a show. Opie, feger, shirley, and Weaver was awesome to watch for a regular show. There was a lot of first night jitters so to speak in all classes. All in all, I'm ready to go back! Track was racey all night if that makes sense.

Thanks for the report. Sounds like it was a fun night.
