What's amazing is how well run these shows have been. 40+ late models and about 30 modifieds every night. The late model features have been getting over about 9:20pm each night! FLO and the local tracks have been running incredibly well-run programs. That's the way ALL tracks should run. Heck, Circle City in Indy doesn't even start till 8pm. I'll give them a pass for their Lucas Oil late model night when rain forced them to move the program along quickly.

That's always been my issue with some tracks. The earlier the better. Not everyone has a camper or money for a hotel


For instance Farmer city is starting hot laps at 6:30 with late models, modified and kids modz. Was going to go to F.city but am skipping out. Was there for Illini 100. Temps suppose to drop again tonight. I'll watch on Flo. No desire to sit in the chill again

So my guess is first heat will likely start after 730ish? maybe 745? No reason to not run hot laps at 6

Well said. I'll never understand why tracks have to start late. Dirt tracks rarely start on time. Kudos to the IL Speedweek tracks for getting done early. As you say, sadly that will probably not be the case tonight. If hot laps don't start till 6:30pm, I'm betting the over on what time they will get their first heat run. Fairbury hot laps start at 5:30pm tomorrow night and only two divisions. I'm heading there.
