https://www.facebook.com/Landis-Motorsports-810973822308754/ Video of last 2 laps here. We raced our 1st Vintage race of the year at Fairbury Speedway. Won the heat starting 4th. The first 6 laps were with some unnecessary contact. I found a cut fuel line after the race because of guys turning right instead of left. I was a strong bet to win the feature but I didn't trust my Mgyver repair, ran a few laps and loaded it up for another day.

Going back to Macon speedway this Saturday with a more appropriate gear and see what it will do again in Sportsman. Then next weekend a Vintage double header at Farmer City Friday and Charleston Saturday. A couple more Fairbury photos I found.   |

Farmer City Vintage race. Video of the full show. I finished 3rd in the heat and feature. I would have won the feature but at about lap 11 I developed a misfire. It ended up being #5 plug wire came off the plug. But it was enough to distract me from driving, between watching the oil gauge and wondering if I should pull off. I screwed up and ended up 3rd. Even with the misfire I could have held 2nd easily but I just didn't pay attention the driving. In Street Stock another Landis engine of #16 Nick Macklin won his heat and finished 4th in the feature https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oie1SY3Y6Nw&feature=youtu.be |

I believe the Farmer City Vintage race was my last with the Vintage racers of Illinois. I've decided to just run the Sportsman class at Macon and possibly the Springfield mile. Here are some of the last nights pics and some AMC specific video. https://www.facebook.com/Landis-Motorsports-810973822308754/#    Edited by Hurst390 - Jul/02/2016 at 8:38am |

Yes, The vintage guys have turned into a different bunch of racers. That's the reason for my departure. I'll stick with Macon Speedway and the sportsman. I'm not fast enough for them but atleast they beat on you less. (A little less)

Here is another from the last race with the vintage cars. Started in the back and made it up to 2nd and a plug wire came off about lap 10. Spent the last 5 laps trying to see if it was gonna blow up or not instead of paying attention to driving.

Back in the day... being at San Jose speedway and Chico fairgrounds, never saw an AMC on the dirt track. It just seems odd in a good way, until you notice the dents from all the bashing.
The only time I saw any bashing was in figure 8 racing. Most of the time, they are fair unless they come down to final laps and are neck and neck. Using the outside car as an extra set of wheels was not thought of a sportsman like. At least to me. |

I'm going to run a race or 2 next year with the gateway vintage racers. They don't tolerate any beating, but they did recently have a bad crash that took out the whole field with the exception of the last place guy. There is a video on you tube of it. The Illinois Vintage guys are 10 cars owned by the same guy and he has all his buddies drive. Some don't appear to have ever driven before. The promoter had a drivers meeting before this last video I posted about driving and beating their way to the front. Even went as far as saying if you need a checkered flag picture he carries one in his truck and he will get you a photo after the race, To save beating the cars up. And he then goes out in the #58 65 chevelle you see in the last video and beats his way to the front. Ya'll can come to your own conclusion on his driving but I still stand by my comments to him. And I have zero interest to continue racing with them. Too bad cause it was a lot of fun when the previous promoter ran the series.
