I never got to try the chocolate bacon, but I figured it might be good. Won't shy away from it.

I didn't "hate" it but still believe that my bacon and my chocolate should b on opposite sides of the plate. Maybe it's cause they serve it cold .

Ahhh. I can see where it might not be as good. It needs to be fondue style with piping hot bacon.

[QUOTE=DiehardRaceFan;389431] He was running third with four laps left, then inherited the lead after Chris Windom and Shane (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)rum ran out of fuel.

Who is this Shane (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)rum?

Nothing like sitting in the big grandstand and watching the geese watch the cars practice while eating a Nutty Bar.."frozen ice cream dipped in choclate with nuts" or a frosty malt.

Now that's racin!

We usually get there early enough to ride the tram around the fairgrounds and see whats been happening in central Illinois, maybe launch a few frogs on the midway.

There is no better sound than hearing the champ cars at speed at Duquoin. Remember Chuck Gurney in the Plastic Express #30?....loud!

Here is some great video to get everyone pumped up. Christopher Bell on the hammer in qualifying.

1966 Champ Car Highlights I just stumbled upon. Too cool NOT to share.

2007 Ted Horn 100 footage as seen on Versus in 2007. Check out the guys in the field including CURRENT NASCAR STARS Ricky Stenouse Jr and Justin Allgaier as well as former Indy 500 competitor Donnnie Beechler.
