STARS Dissolution
 

The Board of Directors of the Short Track Auto Racing Series, LLC (STARS) unanimously approved the dissolution of STARS for various reasons at a Board of Directors meeting held on May 31, 2016.
The Board citied that STARS was unable to reach an agreement with the Grundy County Fair Board on a viable 2016 contract, the loss of sponsors, and health issues with some of the management team were all contributing factors.
This decision was not an easy decision to make and we are saddened that STARS will not be part of the 2016 season in this area.
We want to thank all of our sponsors, team owners, competitors in all divisions, our track help, and our fans for their support in the past five years.
STARS Board of Directors

Pavement midgets become a distant sight in the rearview mirror.

Don't give up hope yet. There is a small possibility of a return of open wheel racing. We will be working on it. No firm details available yet, so please don't ask.

I wish clubs woulda encouraged / or will encourage cars to "come out of garages" with engines packages they had around, with maybe a 2" restrictor...instead of either going down to 1" or not allowing anything other than an OEM...sure seems like the BEST way - to me - to attract cars, keep existing teams goin, & have features with more than 8 cars running at the end...JMHO tho...but regardless, I appreciate all the efforts any have to keep midget racing (of any form) going at all...

Well this bites . wish a pavement track will start something like mountpiler did ,

STARS is gone, but our DII is not dead yet. Looks like there may be good things to come.

Forget about D2. Make use of the many cars sitting in garages that used to put on a great show up there. This whole thing died because of this D2 mandate. Some people will never learn.
