This topic about Illinois late model speedweek has had more discussion than any open wheel topic, which is interesting when you consider USAC has a double header this weekend at Bloomington and Tri-State. I think late models in Illinois are more relevant to most of the readers here than half a dozen automated posts about ASCS made every week. A lot of discussion related to motorsports of all forms has migrated to X/Twitter and Facebook, which is a shame because places like this tend to have fewer trolls and comments that are just brain diarrhea.

There have been plenty of open wheel happenings in the last few weeks that haven't got a peep on here.

You could be the guy that starts the thread.

If the majority wants to make Illinois dirt late model racing a primary topic here that's of no particular consequence either way. I can participate or not. If the Illinois dirt late model's are of more interest than what is going on in Indiana far be it from me to question any of that.

That said, I live smack in the middle of all the tracks participating in the dirt late model speedweek. For those of us who enjoy dirt open wheel racing equally or more so than the dirt late model "stock" cars, for whatever reason, it's a dirt open wheel wasteland, with Jacksonville being the lone exception. And, for what it's worth, I also saw, and remember, how dirt open wheel sanctions and the people at the head of those sanctions were treated several years ago by the flagship track of Illinois dirt late model racing and of this current series. In addition to that, I promise you, Indiana Sprint Week isn't the slightest blip on the metaphoric radar of Illinois dirt late model banter on social media.
