Farmer City (IL) 9/3 & 9/4 and Fairbury (IL) 9/5 - MARS Late Models. DRIVER ROLL CALL

[CILDirt]

Making my first trip to Farmer City, Fairbury, & Spoon River this weekend. I'm thinking about staying in Bloomington Friday & Saturday prior to heading to Spoon, any thoughts on this good or bad?

Bloomington Normal is where you want to stay. One of the hotels in Normal on Ft Jesse near Walmart is the “official” hotel for FALS events. I cant remember which one it is. It might be a little extra drive if you are doing both nights at FC. You might look at something on S Veterans Pkwy for tonight if you are doing that.There is a great place in Lexington called Kemps Upper Tap if you have time for lunch on Saturday. They have seating outside under a huge tent right now. Great food and great craft beer selection if that is your thing.Let me know if you have any specific questions. You cant beat that 3 track swing. Spoon is a hidden gem when it comes to racing but the facilities aren’t that great. FALS/FC are my home tracks.

Hot laps or DoD start times?

Thanks WisWildManFanlooking forward to it!

no problem, i'm excited for you lol. The only thing that I don't like about FC and FALS is the distance from the stands to the track but sitting on the "right" side at each helps. Both pit stands located in turns 3 and 4 give you a really unique perspective and are much closer to the track. I do recommend goggles if you plan on doing that. I haven't been to spoon in years but it's very unique compared to most the 1/4 mile Illinois ovals. Kind of a cross between eldora/lernerville in my opinion.

I've talked to Doubletree in Bloomington, I'll call Hampton Inn as well. At this point I just have to click the button for Doubletree, apparently they have large parking area which I'll need. I'll be watching tonight on DOD and leaving in the morning.

Can’t go wrong with either one. Double Tree will save you from driving through town tomorrow night.

Slew is an understatement. They will probably have to push back the start time at Spoon to let FALS finish up. LOL
