The Test Tune was held on sunday and we had a nice turn out even if the storm blew threw about the time we were to start. About 9 trucks came and we all had a great time. Welcome Avon friends glad to see you all there. Thanks to all of you who came down on saturday to work the pits and to those that came on sunday, hope to see you all at Father's Day Race.

Roger with today economy I wish you the best. Times are tough out there. Hang in there more trucks will come. My opinion for what it is worth is your pit. I talked to Paul Stewart a couple a weeks ago and they are not racing this year due to laura's (Miss Behavin) injury's she received in a great show she put on last year in the Peoria pit. Something has to change, it is to dam rough thats all there is to it. Come on now tell me its a drivers track , we have been saying that for a couple of years now and we our wrong. I am sorry but if you don"t have a good bog pit your club will die, dragging is out don't let them fool you. The money is in the bog pit and watching the gate bet me and lose. Either fix the pit or find new land and start over and the trucks will come. You are the president take hold of the reigns and give them hell. Doug Ingram

I agree Doug their would be alot more trucks at the bog if it had no jumps in it. The pit needs to be deep without any humps or jumps in it. I could have held my truck wide open like laura did but it would be broke in half and it isn't worth it to me. I wont be back to Peoria until the pit changes. I really like the Peoria race to so I hope it changes I have a new motor this year and Hess built another scrambler with my old motor and he said he will come if it changes to.

I agree with wild632 and scrambler if you guys had a deep flat bottom pit like we rum down here in rushville and the state fair has you would get more trucks. That is the reason i wont haul up there my truck is meant to get muddy and go fast not be a tough truck. I know alot of our guys would come up also they just dnt want to tear there trucks up. We ran the state fair last year and they had well over 150 trucks there because it was a deep bog and wasnt a blowout u had to work at it. Sorry not tryin to make neone mad but just though id let you guys know bout that u could really increase ur truck counts if you do away with the jumps.

looks like we need to take a vote next meeting or even take one at the fathers day race so we can include our non member racers

Actually this was just discussed at the peat monster with a few friends. I have raced there once and will be the last, unless it changes. It is the only hill and hole around here and for the most part many trucks including mine are not set up for it. Peoria is the closest track for me and would like to be able to race there.
Nobody likes breaking parts. I know that it is part of racing, but a high probability you will in that pit. It is tough enough just to last through a race season on a budget as it is.
Just my .02. I am only one truck / driver. I know the fans like the big air and trucks breaking.

Screw the fans!! They don't pay the bills or work on our trucks all night!! We are the ones that put it all on the line! I say lets have a regular bog pit without all thouse hump things in it that costs us money!!

i'm pretty sure the hammer wasn't down there screw the fans uh. wow, why and how do you think you get to race cause i'm sure most of the clubs wouldn't even be there if it wasn't for the fans. as for the pit knock a foot or two off the hills and dump that into the holes run your trucks i've seen quite afew trucks out there run all out ya some breakage but a hell of a show.

im with everyone else we enjoy bogging but will never see our truck in that trainwreck of a pit. fans will still enjoy a deep pit. you go to peat monster and the fans love it when there are only a couple of the big class trucks that make it out. me im with sitting and grinning lets go to about an 18-24 inch speed pit. youll have a lot more trucks running then.. just my opinion

i think that the shallow pit is far from what we need we have 2 of them they are the drag lanes . a lot of trucks that show up are not fast but can make a full pull there is a difference i would like to cut the humps down this year and keep it deep we will never agree on this but we should have a drivers vote next race .

I have never seen the maroonrocket in the pit in peoria or in morrison to know how fast it is in mud. It is a rocket on the dirt. Just sayin. I don't care for the jumps in the pit but that hasn't stopped me from taking mine down to peoria. By the way, I made a 7.62 second pass over that pit for a second place finish in open class in 09. Not a "rocketship" but not to slow either. whats your fastest time on that pit rocket?

7 seconds at the peatmonster and you will never see it in peoria's pit until the jumps are gone and then you will see it in there everytime
