Believe me, the crowd will be heavily weighted with hard core late model fans and those folks don't take kindly to cars that have to be pushed to start.
We live just 40 minutes away and have been to Fairbury many dozens of times dating back to when I was a very young child in the days when they used to run the rail cars/super modifieds/sprint cars. Since the track was reconfigured we've been to every open wheel show show at Fairbury. Mainly because there haven't been very many. I really hope this one goes off well or it might be a one shot deal.

Really not much different than a place like Anderson. Sure they run the Little 500 and a few other sprint car or midget races each year with cars that require some extra assistance getting started.
During the Little 500 its a tall ask for push truck drivers to be on their game and you can tell the trucks that should be out there from the others that probably shouldnt but at the end of the night, especially this year with the racing that took place. Everyone seemed, for the most part, satisfied.
Hopefully all goes well there.
