I know its a long drive and all, and its also on sunday at around noon racing starts. but man you got to see this place to believe it, its awesome. heres the link to the website. thats me on page 1 creating a rooster tail with the roller, lol. I'm sure some of you guys know the guys that have worked on this track, scott sternberg, don primetime davis, steve dunaway, marvin hite to name a few. this is the new peoria club track

Looks very well built! So will you have to join the club to race there, or will they be hosting special "open" events?

slim · (#3 (**permalink**))

you will NOT have to be in the club to race.

they will prolly have a club set up more for the local races, pay a fee, then get a discount at the track and store... type thing.

here is a map to see where its at.

my friend used to live in peoria, or as he called it p-town, hes always wanted to fly back down there with me, (got his pilots license and they own a prop plane) maybe i can get down there next spring or this fall, it would be prettyfreakin sweet. looks like a great track layout.

I have been watching this build at the site. My brother in law lives in Gridley. I make trips down that way every 2-3 months to our location on the south end of town for work. I have yet to see the track but it looks like it turned out great.
You guys thinking about trying to get in on the IL pro series? I talked to a guy at the lincoln track and he hopes that he can include joliet next year.

I doubt I will be a regular there. My brother in law maybe. He runs a revo. I might stop by when I visit on a weekend,or if you guys have a big local race going on like Mahomet does.
I also just registered for the forums. Waiting to get the 'ok from Don D.

hey thats cool casketman, not really sure whats in store for this track yet, this year obviously race till the weather heads south, but other than that all I can see is greatness for this place.
