Farmer City Terminator Summer Sizzler $2,000
 

Farmer City Raceway is proud to present the Terminator Summer Sizzler on Sunday, July 17th. Featuring the 410 Unlimited non wing sprint cars with 2000 to win. Unlimited means, no motor rule, not tire rule, the rules are THERE ARE NO RULES! We said goodbye to the rules and lets race! Along with the non wing sprints we will have UMP Modifieds with 1000 to win, Crate Late Models with 1000 to win, and Street Stock with 600 to win. This will have a gate charge of 15 at the main with 30 for the pits. The sprints will have a 25 entry fee. We are excited to have the track back open and look forward to seeing everyone there.

Since the track hasn't stepped up and said something, I want to let everyone know that this show has been moved to sometime in August, according to Gary Flesner, one of the track media guys. It is fair week and the Farmer City Fairgrounds, and the fair has another event scheduled at the track utilizing the grandstand and part of the front straight away of the horse track. I guess a compromise couldn't be found. With Kokomo off Sunday, this stood to be an awesome event. 20 Indiana drivers/owners have contacted me this week concerning start times, directions and such. Pass the word so no one makes an needless trip.

The Farmer City Raceway website just says that the Terminator Summer Sizzler will be run in August.

Wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being scheduled for Illinois State Fair race weekend.

Except the 75 dollar entry fee they posted a few weeks back,,,unless they did away with it

Re: Farmer City Terminator Summer Sizzler $2,
 

It's too bad that owners and drivers can't stick together enough to lay down the law that entry fees are unacceptable. Once one track is able to charge an entry fee and get a nice car count, what is going to stop every track from doing it?

Everyone will gripe before hand about the entry fee, but then when push comes to shove they will all be there. All, except one. It's a 40 min tow for us, and we will be staying at home whenever this race is run - as much as we would like to be there.

Re: Farmer City Terminator Summer Sizzler $2,
 

I see they have changed the date to 8/28 are the fees still the same?

Re: Farmer City Terminator Summer Sizzler $2,
 

According to their website http://www.farmercityracing.com/ Sprints will pay $25 entry fee. $30 pit pass. Gates open at 2pm with hot laps at 5:30. 4 support classes. For more info call Jeff Hammer - 217-552-0434 or Kyle Logue - 217-552-0409

Who all is going? Don't want go an pay the extra then no cars.

Sprint payout: 1. 2,000 2. 1,000 3. 800 4. 600 5. 500 6. 450 7. 350 8. 275 9. 250 10. 245 11-20. 200
B-main $75 first car that doesnt transfer $60 for second and $50 on back.

Re: Farmer City Terminator Summer Sizzler $2,
 

Are they going to run the sprintcars first??

Re: Farmer City Terminator Summer Sizzler $2,
 

5 classes on a sunday with a $30 pit pass for a better purse but not a great purse plus an entry fee? No Thanks...I can deal with the classes and swallow the pit pass but an entry fee? Work harder at promoting and getting 50-100 extra people in the stands if you really need that extra 600-900 dollars that entry fee is going to bring in. $200 hundred to start is actually $175 to start and $50 tow is actually $25 tow. Sprint payout should look like this:Sprint payout: 1. 1,975 2. 975 3. 775 4. 575 5. 475 6. 425 7. 325 8. 250 9. 225 10. 220 11-20.175 B-main $50 first car that doesnt transfer $35 for second and $25 on back. Don't take this wrong it's still a good payout but get rid of the entry fee and adjust your payout accordingly. Hope it's succesful and they run again but re think the entry fee for a "normal" show. Also, modifieds running for $1000 to win with no entry fee?

Looks great.....until you get to the 1st turn :3:

Re: Farmer City Terminator Summer Sizzler $2,
 

I hope a good field of cars show up, I plan on going.

Re: Farmer City Terminator Summer Sizzler $2,
 

I also hope for a good field of cars and a good crowd. As far as the entry fee, I don't see the big deal. If you go to an MSCS race for one show you have to buy a temporary license for $25 or $30. If you don't like it don't go... or go with the mentality of it paying $1975 to win and $175 to start if it will make you feel better. I hope it is a success and applaud them for having a sprintcar race!!

Mike,
I don't disagree with you one bit on the entry fee subject, but saying anything on here does no good, they live on 4m.net and I saw a post on hoseheads. Thats why I listed their phone numbers and website. And this isn't a "normal" weekly show for sprints, it's a "special" to them and they are used to the entry fee thing.....outside of usac I'm not. I argued to at least give the driver or the owner one free pit pass for each entry.....fell on deaf ears. So this is a special, on a special night and so it goes. I tried. If it turns out to be a good thing, and they finish the year out with sprints, I was told the purse will be about what we had at Danville 2 years ago. And no fee. Until Sunday comes and goes, I guess no one will know for sure. Again I agree with you and argued this point since April with them. But looking at the big picture or the future, It's worth the investment.

Andrew, I was told sprints will run first as there has been numerous calls from the Indiana drivers about the time change and they seem to get that.

Re: Farmer City Terminator Summer Sizzler $2,
 

Thanks Steve

Re: Farmer City Terminator Summer Sizzler $2,
 

I hope that all Illinois sprint fans and drivers (and a lot of Indiana ones) will support this show. Much as I enjoy going to Indiana, it sure would be nice to be able to have a track close to home running nonwing sprints.

Andrew, hope I get to see you in Illinois two weeks in a row.

Re: Farmer City Terminator Summer Sizzler $2,
 

I hope they get a good turnout of cars and fans. Been wanting to see a sprint car race here for some time.

With any luck I'll be in Illinois 3 weekends in a row,Frank. Planning on coming over for Lasalle next weekend too.

Re: Farmer City Terminator Summer Sizzler $2,
 

Great! Midgets on the LaSalle track should be an excellent show. I'll be there also.

Re: Farmer City Terminator Summer Sizzler $2,
 

Someone's got to help pay that modified purse. Might as well take advantage of the sprint cars. Too many classes for me. These stock car tracks just don't know how to put on openwheel races. I hope it works for all that are going and on second thought I just might.

Re: Farmer City Terminator Summer Sizzler $2,
 

Hey Mike what is the entry fee for a poweri show? And they pay 75.00 to start the feature i believe and 25.00 tow. and 1200.00 to win.
All midget show have entry fees.

The guys with sprint cars around here should support him so maybe we can sign a monster winged show, not down the guy for trying something. lets not burn bridges before they get built.
