There may be some questions Justin. From potential racers. First, thanks for taking the time to go down and work on the track.
1)Bog Pit- What's been done to improve it? Disc it? Stir it? take more holes out, put more in?
2) Drag track - length? Does the fair race plan on being muddy or the usual dry?
That's about it but that's some questions that some people are thinking.

The drag track will hook hard and be moist but not sloppy

Justin don't worry about people not answering on here the week of the race. I hear that 90% of the mud racers don't use the internet so I'm sure they will find out somehow about the Peoria fair race and come out in droves!!!
Unfortunately Miles is having a Bog that day also and I hear via facebook that the twisted and warped crew and some others may head in that direction but I'm sure there will be plenty that want to come to the fair race for the crowd. That stage is pretty hard to beat. Don't forget last year when the news came and did a special on the Overlanders Mud racing, I'm sure many got to see that. I was hoping that someone would put up a link to that for a "pre-race pump up". But everyone is probably pretty busy though.
That Peoria Fair race has a good solid motorsports foundation and I believe the trucks will in fact show up!!
Good luck!!

I talked to the guy that runs the miles track (jepson) he agreed that we need to try harder and not scedual on top of each other, he said he would make our race in Amboy, and he would tell his racers about our next race. Looking at haveing a great week end and seeing everyone.

Looking at haveing a great week end and seeing everyone. I talked to him too seemed like a real nice guy over the phone. He seemed happy that we are going to have a straight no frills bog pit for Amboy. Good luck to everyone this weekend hope for a great turnout! |
