Last time i was there prolly six years or so ago there was a two inch dropoff where the concrete ended and saw many of cars unload at that perticular spot. Definitly fun times watchjng all the bs and trash talking but racing a car i have countless time,blood, and money in is out of the question till there is serious changes

The transition has definitely gotten very bad over the years.
Last time I was out there helping with a crash it was huge, and that was 10 years ago!!
The big events get a lot of POS losers, that don't give a damn about the brotherhood of racers.
I've had my trailer damaged, and plenty of people have lost stuff.
Including kids borrowing a tool or tire gauge and disappearing!!
As for people that aren't helping get the place straighten out.
You can't force people to do the right thing.
Just remember, every time you get ripped off, treated like crap, and someone crashes
or gets hurt due to improper racing surface or maintained stands etc, YOU WERE WARNED!!
Just like all the guys that loved him, and then when he ruined KOTS and tried to steal the event,
they were every where bitching and moaning about what a thief he is!!
You got what you deserved!!!

I definitely have zero issues with the track & the layout.
I actually prefer the way it's designed way more then Byron, & Grove.
It's the POS thief that runs the place, and bleeds it dry that most of us have an issue with.
The owners not giving a damn is not helping!!
How stupid do you have to be, to have rocks all over a dragstrip??
How stupid do you have to be, to have wood bleachers in Chicago and then not maintain or paint them??
How stupid do you have to be, for the spokesman (used lightly) to publicly insult, degrade, bash, threaten
everyone that says anything other then sucking up to them??
Especially when you're a big fat coward, that couldn't last 2 minutes in a fight without shooting someone!!
I can go on forever!!

I've never had any issues going to 41, and I've been a few times.
Hoping to get some better times this year with the new setup, it's only seen the street once, and still on stock tires. (boo!)

Yup next weekend it is. Saw on there photographers FB page. I have been runnin at 41 in the Ultimate Shootouts for the last 3 years. Its a blast to actually race for points and compete in a actual event so I will still race at 41. I have not checked but, dont believe any of the other tracks run a points series. Yes 41 may be a shithole but we gotta make the best of it. Im sure if they upped on there safety and put a few dollars back into the place there would be alot more racers and fans returning.
GLD is trying to start a 10.50 and 9.50 class i believe. But my car would need a ton of crap to be NHRA legal.Plus it would cost a fortune with tolls and driving there thru Chicago.

the cooler charge is a crime, the stands are falling apart and all the other dozens of issues need to get a clue.
The guy is a POS loser and proven thief!!
As long as enough people keep handing him their hard earned money,
he will keep laughing at you, and nothing will ever change.
Just like the guy that posted what he heard that fat POS say when bragging to a buddy.
Don't remember exactly, but something like??
"These people are too fu..... stupid to go anywhere else,
and I can keep doing anything I want and treating them like crap"??
The guys a loser, but I'm sure if you guys keep giving him your money,
it will be perfect in no time???
The rest of us will be at the real tracks in the area, and giving our money to someone the cares,
takes care of us and gives us a decent & safe place to race!!!
