Toulon race progress updates!

[scrambler]

Pit is looking nice, can't wait untill next Sunday.

[hillbillyhotrod]

the pit is real nice and muddy

[scrambler]

There are many trucks planning on coming I have to talked to I think class 3 will be full of trucks, I hope we have a great turnout, looks like the people digging the pit know how to make a deep pit. I have never raced in a pit that wide but I think it will be different. Another thing do we have to make our second pass if we don't want to? I think my truck will be to warm to run right after my first one, or do we get a little time to cool it off?

[scrambler]

drag lanes look good to

[samlam]

With the 200 foot shut down how long will the drag track end up?

That bog pit looks so inviting man it will be hard keeping the jeep outa it

May have to bring the old wore out trail truck and donate some money to the big hitters

[nutzy]

if you take route 17 east in Toulon IL and go to the east side of town you will go by Gibblers car wash on right after you go by the car wash you will see on the right side of road Gibblers Plumbing and concessions sign turn left its the only way you can go no right hand turn the name of road is i believe is grain bin road we our past the F S fertilizer plant on the right bring your lawn chairs . If people coming from the south like Rushville I would work my way over to route 78 north go through Laura, West Jersey, and than you will come up to route 17 east. Morrison area 78 south out of Kewanee IL and down to route 17 east hope to see you all there.

Very nice drag track a bit shy on the shut down may have to look at 160 foot track for the 500 and up guys


Congrats to Rod Bracher and Scrambler, full pit runs, ;

[hillbillyhotrod]

it was a good day considering my truck broke

[75bronco]

It was the most challenging bog pit that I have ever been in. The first few classes you had to feel kinda bad for though 25 bucks to go 20 feet. After that I dont think that there will be many stock trucks show up. After that first truck went the rest of the stock guys were probably like what the heck am I doing. I really enjoyed it other than I ended up breaking on my second pass. At least I didnt almost flip over like I did in Chili in their wide pit. Very challenging though. Also who said that Hammertime was going to whoop up in the bog, I thought that I read that somewhere. You got to love the Ford power in that SCRAMBLER!!!WHOOO What a run. My yellow Bronco will give a better run next time, you can bet on that. If anyone has any cool pics and want to share them you can send them to [e-mail] THANKS See you on Fathers Day Weekend. Till then Keep the mud flying and your foot in the fan.

[Hammertime540]

Rod had a great 1st pass run and the scrambler 2nd pass

[75bronco]

No insult to you at all Hammer. You have one sweet ride I was just getting at the chevy vs. ford deal. Us Ford guys got to stick together just like you Chevy guys. The guy that runs the scrambler is a good buddy of mine and I'm just giving him props. That was the first time he had ever raced the truck and he did a heck of a job as did all of us. It was a super tough pit. 44s were the way to go by far. No hard feelings or loss of respect to anyone. Just in awe at how sticky that darn mud was. WOW

[Tammy]

Great show....... me and my husband sure like the 200 foot drags alot better that the 160 foot drags we hope you don't change it it would be a shame, we didn't see anybody not get stoped my husband said the only reason he could see shorting the track was for the little black truck (in? I think class 6) that needed more gear (whatever that means) we would still come to watch the bog great job 8-)
