Looked over the WAR
schedule and was again disappointed to see that Illinois will host only 2 (Spoon River & Quincy) of the 46 dates on the schedule. I reckon those of us who have been observer's of racing in the Land O' Lincoln & crooked politicians for any length of time shouldn't be all that surprised. However, it's a disappointment for those of us Illini who are starved for wingless sprint car and USAC National Midget racing, nonetheless. The dirt late models are the 800 lb. gorilla in Illinois and everything else appears to be at it's mercy.
I guess those of us here in dirt late model country who love wingless open wheel racing should be grateful ol' Sarge
keeps the only 2 remaining Champ Car dirt mile races alive here in Illinois. But, sometimes even those seem to be in peril given the lack of spectator support those two events receive given their proximity to Indiana, the undisputed national hotbed of wingless racing activity, SMH.
