Illinois is starving of non wing racing this year. Two years ago when Casey ran the War Wildcard that was some of the best non wing racing Illinois has seen since Shaheens. And good car counts, looks like its time to put the wings back on here in Illinois if we don't want to travel 4 hours one way every weekend. I just want a track in Illinois to run sprints weekly. Keep wishing hope everyone has a Happy New Year.

In central Illinois Fairbury gets much of the praise and accolades and, for the most part, they deserve it. But, night in, night out, I'll put Jacksonville up against any track we've ever attended. One thing is for certain, in regards to open wheel racing, Mr. Dobson is substantially above Fairbury in event organization, execution and regard for the spectator experience. Sure would like to see a USAC National event at J-ville!!!

All of the schedules are now out. WAR leads with the pack with 46 scheduled races with 10 of those coming from Valley. The MWRA has a 15 race schedule with most of these being conflict with WAR. However to be fair, when WAR has 46 dates, there are not many open weekends to pick from. The Iowa Sprint League schedule has a lot of TBA's and a lot of Dual shows with WAR.
It does look like WAR has a concentrated effort to have more shows closer to Kansas City. I wonder if this was the major complaint of the MWRA. WAR started as a Kansas City based series. In the past couple of years, they started to do more traveling further away from Kansas City. |
