Well I got to see hot laps and a lot of lightening and then rain. So I will likely be back again next week. Track looked good before the skies opened up.

Thanks Crash9, normally I know way ahead of time and have a bit of lead time to research. I knew this was coming but was told it was still weeks off from needing photos, so I'm kind of rushed. I'm going to try and get there early enough to get some time to walk through the pits but have two ball...

Our paper is working on an article on the race track and I've been assigned to come to the track tonight(weather permitting) to take some photos. I'd prefer to find some local modified and late model racers to feature in the photos. Can anyone name some of the drivers who are local to the...

I thought to myself all night last night that the crowd seemed very small in comparison to the weekly show, and it sure was tiny compared to the normal nascar night crowd. I was covering the night for the newspaper and when I got there was originally told that I couldnt enter the area to...

Hey Tank, Here is my take on it, while the base lights are nice, they need to use the outer lights to fill in. I talked to several drivers last night and each of them mentioned problems seeing going into the corners, specifically turn 3. Turn one isnt as bad, but to me all the entries and...

Here is a crazy idea, take the class and alternate weeks between the two tracks. Surely neither track wants to lose car count to the other, so since for now the count is limited make it kind of a traveling show. One night at DRR and the next week the Rock. May need to work out details, but I say...

Its 2:10 and I'm seeing the "R" word on my windshield coming home from festus. Looks like a small band, are they still going to try and make a night of it? Lugnut

I'm going to bump this BTT and also add that I have found a couple of drivers in each class to talk too, however I would like some more in the sportsman, Modified, and Late model. The pro-4 class I have had a great response from and have alot of information and contacts there. Lugnut

Hey folks, we are finally going to make it to the races for the newspaper on the 7th barring any other problems. I'm wondering if anyone can tell me if there will be any Local(jefferson county) Sprint car teams on hand for the WoO races. We will also be going into the stands before the races to...

As the father of a 10 year old who is one of "Jerry's kids" I can tell you that money would be very welcome. This past week we went and spent the day at this years MDA summer camp, what a wonderful thing camp is for these kids. Channel 5 and Mike Bush are amazing people and the kids love camp...

Bumping back for the tuesday crowd. I have been contacted by about 12 racers already. I have the info saved. Anyone else just PM me your information. Thanks.

Bumping this back to the top. For those of you that have PM'ed me I have your information saved and will likely contact you on one of my first visits to the track. Thanks for the responses looking forward to some more. Lugnut

Sorry Edited my post to clarify that. Lugnut

BTTT for the evening folks. Lugnut

Hey guys and gals, I learned yesterday from the newspaper that I work for that we are going to try and do some coverage of local racers over the season this year. If your a local to the Jefferson county area and will be racing at I-55 this year, Please PM or e-mail me your information, IE-...

Without getting into a battle about the tracks, I think I-55 has done a wonderful job in doing improvements to the grounds and the track IMHO is always one of the best there is in the area. I'm not saying its perfect I dont think any track will ever be perfect. What areas do you think need Major...

Well I was hoping it was something to prevent problems like other tracks have had and not in response to something that would threaten it. I am going to assume no one knows the answer and will hope for the best. Lugnut

HI folks I've been away for a while and drove by the outer road on the track and noticed a little tiny sign for a public hearing about rezoning I55 racetrack. Anyone know any specifics about whats going on? I read the sign and it said that they were changing it from one type of zoning to another...

Dixon dirty? You know alot of people like to get on here and complain about drivers, but when it comes down to it its 99% BS, except for the true Rogue driver. Dixon isnt washed up, or a dirty driver or competitor. Anyone remember a few weeks back when Brian Collins broke a rear end...

Wow, you have alot of my family on there. Oscar O'Harver is my uncle, Glen O'Harver is my dad, Michael Spangler is my uncle(my moms brother) And several of the other names I remember my dad hanging out with when I was a kid. What a memory flashback this thread is! Lugnut
