Asked that at their forums. Should have an answer soon if someone does not post it here. Also asked about rules. Seeing that is park district property. I know their rules will come into play also.

From their site about the track. I agree with him and I understand.

The links don't work because I haven't seen any of that info yet. I REALLY hope that any of you guys that are coming from any distance at all, come just to run your cars and have fun. It is my opnion that our club is nowhere near ready to start hosting and appealing to out of town guys. This weekend is the first race. The guys running the races have no experience running races of the size we are gonna see out there. There are a ton of guys that will be there that haven't raced anywhere, or only on our local scene which hasn't amounted to much the last few years.

This track is very much in the incubator stage and will require a few weeks (at least) to get the kinks worked out, and some sort of regiment established. I hate for you guys to come up or down here and leave with the impression that we are a bunch of country boys without a clue. We only get one chance to make a first impression with you guys and this is not the ideal time to try to do that.

I am not saying don't come, I am just saying expect some kinks in the iron, and then hopefully you won't be disappointed if shit happens. Some will probably be pissed off that I am saying this, but it's an honest opinion and I only have the best interest of the track in mind. I very much want this track to amount to something, and the last thing we need is to start off with people leaving here with a bad taste in their mouth.

There is a quick stop type gas station just a mile or two up the road from the track. There is a McD's and a Hardees about 5 miles back towards Peoria, and a Taco John, hardees, McD's, Subway and a Dairy Queen about 10 miles towards Chillicothe.

I'm thinking the most it will cost is may $12 or so I think. I know back in the pt days it was $12 to race, maybe its $10 even. I can speak for the guys running the races but that is my guestimate till I know other wise

So has anyone decided if they are going this weekend? I am stuck between LH and here. I will be honest,I am leaning more towards their track but only because I have to be down that way around 5 to drop off my son.
