Saturday at Joliet

flagboy55 · 5/10/21, 11:18 AM

Looks like this Saturday we’re going to have what I’m considering a home game for us, the Allstars co-sanctioned with the IRA, along with the Wisconsin Wingless Sprints at the Rt 66 dirt oval. Depending on road construction, we can get there in about 45 minutes which makes it the closest sprint track to our base of operations, the Race Garage in beautiful Gary Indiana. We’re probably going to go down early and do some tailgating. And unless something has changed our good buddy Cigar Dave was planning on stopping by for some fun and always entertaining insight. If you’re going too, stop by and say hi as well

Glad to see the Wiscosin Wingless is bringing a support class!

Love watching them the few times I've been to Wilmot. That is the class that would be good for Indiana tracks that don't run regular 410 Non-Wing sprints weekly. When Plymouth started the Crate Wing Sprint class I thought that wasn't a good idea and would have much rather seen them go the route of the Crate Non-Wing deal that the Wisconsin WingLess has. They have a great car count and good support from the drivers and teams. Would love to see them come into Illinois more at Fairbury, LaSalle, Kankakee. Maybe even into Indiana at Plymouth & Shadyhill. Would be a great class to have during the Kokomo Klash in October.

I believe Wisconsin WingLess actually ran at Fairbury in conjunction with WAR back in October of 2017 or 2018. That combination raced at Fairbury just one time. I'm not sure if the Wisconsin group was scheduled at Fairbury the following year but that is immaterial since that event was cancelled 2 weeks before the scheduled date due to rain.

The people at Fairbury said they lost a pile of money on the one show they hosted (I believe they called it Sprint Mania) and that turned out to be the reason they cancelled 2 weeks ahead, not the rain, so it's a bit of a long shot that they'll ever be back.

Keeping an eye on the weather. We’re in a holding pattern at the moment

It’s still on in joliet?

It is but some stupidity has set in. We’re waiting in a line in our car to, I’m not sure what. But it’s hardly moving. Probably state related

flagboy55 · 5/15/21, 5:24 PM

Because Illinois is still stupid with restrictions

All set up. Track looks great and a bunch of cars
