Winter Nationals
 

Looks like the weather is going to be decent for the race, at Du Quoin, this weekend. Anyone plan on making the trip? It ought to be a good show and $10 for ticket, not too bad either.:23:

Re: Winter Nationals
 

RacinBabe and I plan on being in attendance. 36 Micro's on the pre entry list with 11 1200's as well. I appreciate PowrI putting these shows on. Great for the winter time racing fix.

Re: Winter Nationals
 

I think car count will go up. Micros for sure, hoping for 30 mini's and 50-60 micros. There aren't many mini-sprints in this part of the country. It would be a pretty good haul for a bunch of the guys from Indiana and Ohio, but would be tickled to see 'em there.

Re: Winter Nationals
 

I will be there....can't wait! Battle @ the Center, The Chili Bowl, and now this! This winter hasnt been too shabby!:8:

Re: Winter Nationals
 

Would love to go but don't have a car together at this point and there aren't many 1000cc rides or cars for rent right now.

Me Too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:8::8:

Re: Winter Nationals
 

Can't make FL....getting ready to buy a micro sprint possibly and have to conserve the cash. I will however make the Hut 100, Hoosier 100, Ted Horn 100, Tony Bettenhausen 100, Gold Crown Midget Nationals, and possibly the 4 Crown.

Then the winter starts all over again :8: This was my first trip to the Chili Bowl and I will never miss a trip to Tulsa again God willing!:22:

Re: Winter Nationals
 

Just got back home from the Illini State. An entertaining evening at the Mini Mile. Always a good day when you can see racing in January.:6: Thanks again PowrI.:8:

Re: Winter Nationals
 

Congrats to Felker and Knepper for putting on a heck of a battle for the win, and congrats to POWRi for putting on a very quick program. (Although I do wish they would've done some track work before the 1200s feature, as the uprights didn't have much to race on in their main.)

I also liked the format with the qualifers used to transfer drivers to the feature, instead of running a bunch of C and B-mains.

But what I REALLY liked was the co-operation provided by Mother Nature. That had to be one of the warmest winter nights I've spent in the Southern Illinois Center. Especially since it sounds like the weather is REALLY about to take a turn for the worst.

Re: Winter Nationals
 

Racing was a lot better than the Battle @ the Center....the track was worked better IMO...had an upper and lower groove for a while. Great race by Felker & Knepper!

Re: Winter Nationals
 

I have to agree. I thought the racing was a lot better than what we saw in December. I have a feeling that it did not go unnoticed by Kenny and crew. We should have a fantastic show in March. J.B. Gilbert was a pleasant surprise for me in the micros, as was Doug Johnson in the mini-sprint feature. He hit his mark lap after lap, pretty impressive. Congarts to Andrew Felker and Nick Knepper, they put on a heck of a show.

Re: Winter Nationals
 

I appreciate the complement but you have to hit your mark when you run with a 600 cc in a 1200 cc class.:22:
