I'd say that was either 2011 or 2012...they ran the full event in 2009 (I'm about certain), and it snowed that night (like about 8inches in the 815 area code; honestly I guess I don't recall how bad it was around the track)...was a white knuckle trip home...I never had any money when I raced, but offered to buy a hotel room for my crew (so thats how bad it was!); but we toughed it out and made it back with no issue...

Ooops!
I overlooked the January 16, 2005 race featuring 600cc mini sprints and USAC Ford Focus midgets. I still show nothing in 2009.

Possibly the weather conditions were really bad and my buddies and I had didn't attend the 2009 event and that is why I have nothing for that year.

March 28th 2009 -

https://thethirdturn.com/wiki/2009_Dean_King_Memorial

& this appears to be about ALL of them!? (although I don't see at least the Jan 19, 2008 one on there...which I know did happen...video on ubtube, the one I always watch wasn't dated correctly tho...)

https://thethirdturn.com/wiki/Southern_Illinois_Center

At a quick glance, it does look like 2012 was the one that was cancelled because of the snow
