There was no Knepper 55 last December. Don't know the details other than the dome people scheduled the midget invitational directly against the traditional weekend date of the Knepper 55 and the Du Quoin event faded away.
We too, very much enjoyed and looked forward to making the trip down to Southern Illinois a weekend or two before Christmas for the indoor event at Du Quoin. Some great December racing took place in the Southern Illinois Center over the years. The one that really stands out was the late race battle between the late Bryan Clauson and Thomas Meseraull but they were all very good whether it was POWRi sanctioned or USAC sanctioned.
Very sad it's no longer a tradition.
