^ for lightening sprints at one of the best tracks in the country FALS. If you've never been to Fairbury American Legion Speedway in Fairbury, Illinois. Imagine the track of Kokomo with the atmosphere of Eldora on BIG race nights. You should check out the 2014 Prairie Dirt Classic on YouTube with the World Of Outlaws Late Model Series. Best race I have seen in at least the last 15 years period! This ought to be one he!! of a show. I would absolutely love to see a 410 Non-Wing Sprint Car race there. It would be like Kokomo part 2 only in Illinois.

Better then both look the track up on YouTube! It's about the same size with just a bit more banking then Brownstown, IN.

No <> probably tracks choice. It's just a BAD FAST & extremely racy 1/4 - 1/3 mile. The track surface is out of the river near Danville, Il (close to vermilion county Speedway) mixed with Clay. I've seen a lot of races there and they barely have to touch the track all night. It retains a lot of moisture in the surface.
I'm serious Check out the track on YouTube! 2014 Prairie Dirt Classic!

We ran one lightning sprint race there last year. Looked like long straights and tight turns at first. Ended up being one of the best tracks we have ever ran. Very smooth with nice banking and great dirt. You can hammer it in the turns. The cars come off the turns nicely and follow a good line. Not one of those places that tries to skate you into the concrete. Lets cars race close and hard. Ran a 12.25 gear with a R1 and didn't hit the rev limit.
