    I reckon the folks at Fairbury and Kenny Dobson are even now. Fairbury screwed the pooch in October of 2018 and cancelled an event for what they originally claimed was due to rain 2 weeks prior. Rain wasn't really the reason and the folks at Fairbury ended up having to fess up and admit rain wasn't the reason. Kenny, being the first rate guy he is, agreed to take the event that Fairbury cancelled and was able to run it and he had over 100 cars in the pits and a very good crowd.

    Due to the local guidelines Kenny is forced to allow only 20% capacity in the grandstands which most likely would render his SN event to be a net loser money-wise.

    I don't know what arrangements Kenny has made with FALS but I'll definitely be at Fairbury on that Wednesday night if for no other reason but to support Kenny, who is easily one of the 2 or 3 best race promoters in the state.
