[QUOTE=DAD;396833]Jay

We raced at Du Quoin last year and had a ball. These people really know how to run an indoor show. I haven't talked to Doug yet but I would be ready to go.

Last year they started just a little later trying to put on a race for us and after two or three delays for Blizzards they finally got the race off in March. Most promoters would have given up but these guys did exactly what they said they were going to do.

The car count was a little low, consisting mostly of cars from the ILSS and AMSA with just a few MMSA racers present.

The track held up real well and was a tight and racy Bull Ring the entire show, they did a great job working the track.

I understand that this group races almost every weekend at Du Quoin through the winter with Go Karts, Flat track Motorcycles and anything that races.

I would suggest contacting Rodger with the ILSS and Jerry with the AMSA and getting their support also. It could be Billed as a more of a fun race for us where we might move around and visit a little, that is what we did last year.

For you guys in Missouri, it wouldn't be that far of a haul for you guys either. Du Quoin is pretty central to a lot of Racers.

Thank you for the contact names I will try to reach them both. If this can work out we could hold a few races over the winter months.
