Wow fans...middle of September and I've turned on the heat in my house!
Still makes me wonder about this upcoming weekend. Many dirt late model Illinois drivers will make their way down south to compete at Pontoon Speedway....or better known to me as Granite City Speedway for a chance to cash in against the best in the World Of Outlaws special tomorrow night Sept 16. Then they will be onward to Peavley Speedway just south St. Louis.
While I'm not too concerned for the drivers...I have to say...man, the weather may kill some crowd expectancy. Back in April or even early May...we all yearned to get out of the house and at least get some outside time. A buddy of mine and I took in some early Farmer City raceway nights...only to sit in the truck most of the night. Yet though, we needed/wanted that because we knew the season was just getting started. You braved it knowing warmer days were ahead.
Now here it is ... middle September and already we are wondering if these late season races will even get in. Last check of the 3-4 day outlook showed in Illinois clear, but colder temperatures for the evenings. Will that kill some turnout in Granite City and Missouri? I sure hope not because at this late juncture of the season...remakes at this point could be very tough...if not impossible. I was thinking of Kankakee, IL tomorrow night...but too much uncertainty has this race fan likely listening to the local hometown football team.
Tis the season for uncertainty...but hey...uncertainty is life. I'll still be in Fairbury come snow Sunday.
