The 2020 schedule is out (10 races - South Bend, Grundy, Rockford - all pavement)

...they are on a race tire these days...most cars are 2.4L...I imagine some of the cars ran dirt before...
First the Illini Series is getting 6 cars on their best day. Second, the Illini Series has always wanted to have a different rule book for each competitor. Once you go faster than their favorite car they go out of their way to write a new rule (weight, restrictors, offsets, etc etc) intended entirely to penalize a guy for winning. And they do it race to race. That's not racing in my opinion. If you want to beat a guy beat him on the track not with the rule book. If you want to change rules do it during the offseason and apply them equally to everyone.
