Fals fan frenzy

[CIRF]

Cirf. What did they change when they reconfigured the track?

I'm not exactly sure when the track was reconfigured. I'm sure someone here knows for sure as there seems to be several FALS aficionado's who post here.

Off the top of my head I'm thinking it was either the late 1980's or early 1990's. The track was lengthened by what appeared to be a few hundred feet. Again, I'm not positive I have the figures absolutely correct. The backstretch was moved South quite a bit thus making turns 1 & 2 and 3 & 4 longer and obviously more sweeping. The old track pinched the cars down pretty good getting through the turns and there wasn't that much racing up by the outside wall. There were a few guys that could make it work on the outside on the old track but usually the fast way was on the bottom. It seem like Bob Pierce could make it work up by the wall in a late model and a sprint car driver named Dean Shirley that could lay the right rear on the wall and be fast. There were probably others but those two I recall from memory. That's partially why Pierce got the nickname "High Bank" way before he was "The Tall Cool One".

That's nice. What would we need to talk about that would do any good. Would you be in the YELLOW pages?

Funny someone who does all of their talking on the internet would even have the gall to make a post with the word YELLOW in it...

Again..you know where to find me.

We started out as a young child spectator in the mid 1960's and later was a minor crew member of a multi-time championship winning dirt late model team at Fairbury. We remember well, even though we were very young, when they used to race the rail cars (sprint cars). Obviously, we attended races at FALS before and after they reconfigured the racetrack. Reconfiguration of the racetrack was the single most significant factor contributing to the great racing we've seen at Fairbury.

Over the years and through literally dozens of nights of racing we've witnessed at FALS they've had their share of choo-choo train snoozers. But in the last 7 to 8 seasons or so FALS has consistently hosted some of the best dirt late model racing to be found anywhere. Period.

Their record for great racing is a tough act to follow season after season but hopefully they'll keep the string of great racing going for many years to come.

What team were you with? I grew up there as well. Pretty much every sat from 82 to 95
