FairbuRy is the greatest track ever. Its gods gift to the world. Oh fcking please. There's lots of other good racetracks out there. I'm so sick of hearin this. Sure its a good track. Have you been all over the nation watching? Didnt think so. Wisconsin and Minnesota has some really good racing too. Fairbury has made so many racers who went to Lucas oil, woo and nascar like.......? must be why a Shadyhill regular like nick allen has no problem whooping your a$$. You people walking around with a big fairbury boner in your pants need to go home and take care of business. And stfu when you come out. It gets really annoying.

I am a FarmerCity fan but Fairbury Has to be ONE of The top 5 there is...FarmerCity has been one of the best and worst in the last 5 years... Me going there makes it the best too me.. if I could go to 2 tracks a week Fairbury would be were i go...Yes I have been all over the nation and if i had too choose were i live for 2 of the Best track I live RIGHT were i live by FarmerCity and Fairbury.. If you think some place is better maybe it is to you.. I respect that but it don't make people wrong that love Fairbury WRONG.. cause it is one of the BEST.......Just like right now KKK is not

As a driver at K3 Tom has never cut the payout except the last night for one class when 4 UMP Mods (there purse was cut I was told but all 4 drivers were ok with the payout) showed up. All other classes were paid the regular payout. Also it rained off and on all night and with almost no one in the stands Tom could have cut all the purses that night but didn't. K3 may not be perfect but Tom is keeping the place open and us up North have a dirt track to race at. You fans and drivers from FALS/FC South have at least a dozen, if Kankakee closes us in the Chicago area have NOTHING, and don't mention LaSalle and Sycamore because they either don't run the same classes or are no better than the promoters at K3.

But paying out the purse is only one thing, and I don't want them to close cause i have friends that live up there.. Its he runs off people.. It a great track it just $ucks that he runs it so bad....He jumped on my a$$ one night... I am still trying to find out what i did wrong.. O and i have not been back in 4 years because of it...I have never been spoken to by someone that bad at a place of business in my life.. I will not spend a dime there while hes there...

[Cardirt0]

............

He put them signs up cause he says Fairbury all the help just comes and helps for free.. I told him all the money they make gets spent on the race track or town not in your pocket and leaves town is why man he went nuts.....A$$ was all I could think..

I guess everyone's experiences are different. We have supported K3 for the last 3 seasons, and never had an issue with anyone. We mind our own business, dont get caught up in the drama and just come to race. I think the track prep was better this year than years past and we all know how challenging the weather was this year. I like racing K3, we have learned alot there, and Tom and his staff have treated us well. Maybe you get what you give. Thats my experience.

I agree with you Dave, I call Tom on the phone lots and have NEVER been disrespected by him, I even questioned him on something at the Banquet and with all he was doing he gave me an answer with no hollering or being out of line. I bet it was because of the way I approached him, no one likes to be jumped on from the start of a discussion, so keep your cool and talk don't scream and howler it's only gonna make people go on the defense and nothing is gonna get resolved. As for the racing surface it was much better this year than last year. I agree and I HATE to be there till 1:30am that we need to get the show done by 11-11:30 every night. One thing that would help is to have a wrecker or two (I see them foe around $2500 all over) nothing fancy just a workable truck to clear the track quick. Forget the intermission with six classes running we have plenty od time between races to make adjustments or repairs to the cars. With these two ideas I just cut 30 minuets or more out of the evening. Another idea would be to only run 5 classes a night, everyone I'm sure could use a week off once a month, I know I'd like it.

Kankakee needs more banking on the highside, tom make sure you dish the track out some more. Make the straightaways longer. Make the frontstretch 2 cars wide instead of 3. And race 8 classes. I assure you racers and fans would come back.

[XRACER1993]

ok, all you guy's that say TS is doing a good job I really dont see it.. Everyone has their own thought's... I raced at 3-k many year's ago... You would get a full car count in all division's..and even semi features ! . And you never knew who was going to show up.. those were the days... not trying to start any crap with anyone.. I respect all your opinions... some good, and some not.. but that is ok... There has to be a reason why driver's and fan's don't go there... maybe someone can start a "poll" and see what need's to be done.. I know a lot of driver's that wont go there because of the promoter and live in Kankakee... Yes, the pay was cut at time's, and when you hear him say " this is my track !, I'll run it the way I want too !, if you dont like it, go someplace else ".. That don't sit well because some guy's have been racing there for year's.. There is power in number's, and i'm am not seeing it at Kankakee, and I am sorry to say that, but it is what it is ! Let's see what the schedule is for this year... remember he said he will have Lucas or Woo in a few year's.. it's time to step up and have some real big show's too !... I have been going to the race's since the late 50's, and countless track's..paved and dirt.. so I do know something about this subject... Thank's Guy's ! :-)

150 a night for a wrecker and he wont pay it...but shows up to the speedway with 5 or 6 crates and drives one under some stupid name!!! STICK TO LANDSCAPING SMITTY!!!!

[ugly1]

First of all LaSalle and Sycamore don't even run Friday nights so it was just dumb to bring them into the mix and what do you mean the promoters aren't any better? Tony Izzo Jr is a (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) good promoter in my opinion and the guy knows how to prep a track. Take your trash talking somewhere else. Guys like you are hurting the sport by running off at the mouth.
