    The new bleachers came from Shep's Speedway when they shut it down, a bunch of volunteer help put them up.

      Everyone will need to buy General Admission tickets at the gate on the day of the event, what we sell in advance is a non refundable reserved seat voucher for the backstretch only. The entire front stretch is still all General Admission w/ no reserved sections,We do not make the fans purchase the full ticket price in advance. This works out better so our fans can sit with their friends in larger groups. It also makes it easier to manage because kids 12 & under are admitted free with a paying adult even for our biggest events. Thanks!!! Gunter

Cost a lot to dump trash now....so it would be well over a 100,000 to put up new Grandstands.. Thats just for the covered stands....
        If the place was mine I would take that building to the west of the grandstand and make it the new beer stand site and they could relocate to the old beer stand structure. Make the new beer stand 2 floors with skyboxes on top... Would be high enough to see over the wall for the most part and generate money.

            I don't know who owns it but on rt24 just west of fairbury there is a big lake with several campsites around it. Don't know what the story of it is but looks like a really nice kept place.

            Maybe someone from Fairbury can tell us more bout it.

              Old gravel pit turned into a lake, all fenced in. Pretty sure that is private property that isn't rented out to campers. (Even though they could make a killing during race weekends as it is a nice setup) I go by there quite a bit for work and have never seen more than a handful of cars or campers there at one time.

                We showed up last year and camped at school, is that already full too? We will be tent camping, at hell tour they had us camp along southern most fence on grounds.

                        Just an FYI on Camping Waiting List, we will put campers in designated overflow lots across the street at the school if weather permits. We could not include those lots on our reservation website as we do not own the property. We will not Allow campers on that property if the weather is rainy leading up to the event and the ground is saturated. There should be room to park campers based on the waiting list we have currently. We will work through the waiting list as time allows, Please Remember.... we are all volunteers and do this in our spare time as time allows so we may not respond right away. We will do our best to get back with you but we all have Full Time Jobs and we have been hammered with emails etc. If any reserved seat or camping questions please send an email to fairburyspeedwaytickets@hotmail.com.

                          Can tents camp on a regular camping spot or do they have to go to a designated area?

                            Tents will be in designated area, first come first serve. No Reservations... We will assign spots when you arrive. All reserved camping lots must have an rv on them, they are not intended for car parking/ tent campers etc.
