Crates at Fairbury

[Bud99]

Any comments on the crates running for the first time a FALS. My thought is, getting 30 cars was a very good turn out for the first time. Just to bad they got rained out. I hope they add crates to there show for next year. Ok let the basssshing begin folks.

Did they get any races in at all last night?

[old fan]

adding another class can cause consequences

[Bud99]

They didn't get the semi in or the features.

I was pretty impressed with their sportsman cars back at frenzy.

Hard to say without seeing a feature. The one heat was a real crash fest.

Personally, I'd rather see a real NON-UMP B-Mod class than the crates. I don't believe any track or for sure UMP has the ability to tech the crate engine properly.

seems funny I 55 techs both sportsman and b mods pretty well which both are UMP

Dump the sportsman and bring on the crates.

28 crates.... All 28 are prolly at spoon River tonight... I'm gonna say this... Fairbury is the mold for dirt racing. Whether it's local or big show. They got it goin on... And only a town of 3500.... And on another topic, you bring back crates, you bring a market for supers to sell parts too... Makes the world turn...

sounds great so what happen to the crates in southern ILL then you have tracks that normally ran supers now running crates for a cheaper purse

How much does it cost to run a crate? Anthony Craven posted this about their sportsman We spent $8500 on my car race ready with a trailer. My dad runs a chassis from 1995 with a $4500 engine. There number of cars is up a bit this year from last year.

its 6 k just for a 604 with all the bells and switches many guys I know that ran sportsman were not afraid of the motor cost of a crate it was suspension and racks they were afraid of , don't mess with sportsman

[Bud99]

First off. I didn't say one word about canceling the sportsman class did I.
