Weather permitting, the Farmer City Raceway's season will be kicking off with a big event this weekend.
Curt Homann, Executive Director of the DeWitt County Development Council, explains that last night racers were on the track in Farmer City getting ready for Friday and Saturday's Illini 100 Race. The event will be the season opener for the venue.
A lot of planning goes into an event like this. Due to the size of the crowd it typically draws, and the economic development that brings, the raceway is working with community law enforcement and other organizations to make sure everyone has a fun and safe experience.
Tickets are not yet sold out for the races, taking place this evening and tomorrow at the Farmer City Raceway. Learn more and purchase tickets by visiting farmercityracing.com.
While races on the dirt track are always fun, the University of Illinois Rowing team and many others will be competing at Clinton Lake this summer. We'll have more with Homann on that in the days ahead from the Hart Media Group. Learn more about the DCDC at dcdc-illinois.net.
