As usual.

Plan to hit Spoon River. Best hidden gem track in Illinois. Illinois bull rings are short enough to avoid the aero issues that dominate modern late models on the 1/2 miles.

Kudos to LaSalle Speedway on their rebirth! What an amazing recovery and rebuild by the track. So many people stepped up to help. Thankfully they had perfect weather, a PACKED grandstand on a Tuesday night, plus 49 late models and 32 modifieds. Well done Tony and team!

A huge shout out should go also to Justin McCoy. I believe his partnership with the Izzo's was much of the impetus for the reopening of La Salle. Not sure this all would have happened without the involvement of Justin and his wife. Just for the record, Justin hails from Streator, IL and is the great nephew of midget standout, the late Bob Tattersall, who was also from Streator.

To get this thread somewhat on topic, there is hope that La Salle could become a regular yearly venue for BMARA and/or MARA. It's strategically located for Badger and it's a safe bet that the Badger/MARA midgets would put on an exemplary show at La Salle. Let's hope it happens with some success in the future.

very good racing last night! That track looks like it would put on a great sprint car race! First time I had ever watched an event here. They did a great job bringing it back. Hard to beat that 32 in his home state.
