    For those at Fairbury for the Prairie Dirt Classic. How would you rate the weekend?

    For those at Fairbury for the WOO LMS 27th Annual Prairie Dirt Classic & Summit Modified Nationals weekend. How would you rate the entire race weekend experience?

    I think both classes put on one he!! of a show; Heats, B-Mains, Features, ect where great. The racing as usual at FALS was incredible. 3, 4, & sometimes 5 wide. It was fun watching Erb try and get by Richards the last 10-15 laps. Those 2 sure made it entertaining especially in lapped traffic. I think between both classes there where at least 6 or 7 cars upside down over the weekend. I don't know how they do it but year after year this race has to be one of the best race weekend for Super Late Models anywhere in the U.S.

    I don't think it has a chance at race of the year, but a solid 8.5 for the weekend. Had a great time as always, and am already looking forward to next year.

      I give it the same solid 8.5....anything under an 8 at the PDC would be considered a disappointment with all the momentum FALS has built over the past 4 years.

            The heat races Friday night were fantastic, the feature Saturday was really good but not as good as the previous three years.

            The WOO announcer is horrible and needs to be replaced ASAP.

                FYI, if I went anywhere else and had the experience I had this weekend, they would get a 9.5, but FALS gets graded with the FALS curve in effect, so 8.5 is the grade.

                  I'd give it a 9. If there would have been another last lap pass in the feature, it'd be a 10 again. FALS is fabulous!

                    For us that are used to three wide racing at FALLS, it may have seemed average, but anytime you have 2 some times 3 groups of three wide racing, lap after lap, it is far from average. Possibly we need to review some of these other tracks, that say they have great racing and judge it again. I haven't seen anything but 10 Plus scores on this track for years. Anytime I feel the slightest let down at FALLS, I look at some of the crown jewels and wonder where the three wide racing was and come to my senses. I'm not a Homie, but I am a believer.

                      I think Ferguson said it best in his interview Friday night. There aren't to many race tracks that you can race three wide for 10 laps consistently, that was awesome!

                        great racing as usual. Time management was my only concern. Both days were dragged out fairly late. I don't know what u do to alleviate my issue. maybe get rid of the mods or at least eliminate the scrambles.

                          Good point, they blew at least 30 minutes for the helicopter landing and takeoff.

                            The 30 minutes they spent honoring the first responders that volunteer their time and skill everyday, was time we'll spent in my book.

                              I agree but it had to be done in between the consi races? They were allready running way behind. Would love to see that done again just before the races start though.
