does anyone know if jacksonville, lincoln, and quincy will be running 305 sprints in2015

Yes we are.  It's a little more complicated because at Jacksonville we are going to go back to being open most weeks instead of just mainly specials and going to run 410's more often.  Since we have a lot of the same groups/families that have both a 410 and 305, we really can't run 305's at Lincoln on nights we run 410s at Jacksonville.   So we will have several nights of combined 410/305 shows at Jacksonville in order to get enough 305 dates in.

Right now it's looking like about 16-18 305 races in Central Illinois.  The target is:

6-7 at Jacksonville

6-7 at Lincoln

2-3 at Quincy

1-2 at Spoon River

We also are figuring out how to fit enough non-wing races into the three tracks to start an 8-10 race WAR East series.  With Farmer City having said they are cutting back on non-wing, and Flora's promotion up in the air, there's not a track running non-wing in Illinois this year and we want to give the non-wing guys enough dates to justify keeping their cars.  It's tough to do given our commitment to the 410 and 305 classes.  We are taking inventory of non-wing drivers to see if the groups are separate enough to run wings at one track and non-wings at the other on some Fridays and still draw enough cars and fans at both.

jax-webguy thank you for the response  looking foward to 2015 and hope you are able to get all classes scheduling worked out. i was only able to make the last race at jacksonville in 2014 and enjoyed it alot. thank you for all you do  in order to bring us good racing close to home. have good winter look forward to 2015 season.
