I live 15 minutes away from Illiana. For me it's more that they race stock cars, as opposed to any other reason I don't go. Big picture, I think it's more dirt vs asphalt. As Mr Funk and others have said, pavement is hurting. I have to say, Illiana is a pretty much follow the leader kind of track. It got better after the resurfacing, but still mostly one lane. I hope it somehow stays open, and I hate to disagree with Nathan, but the answer is to plow it up. Make it a special event track that runs 8 or 10 events a year. The neighbors wouldn't be quite as pissed off not running every week, and all the big draws could race there. Both woo series, all of usac divisions could run there, Lucas oil late models. All these groups have one thing in common, DIRT!
