That sucks!:thumbsdown: If the weatherman in Southern Illinois is anything like they are here in Indiana, it will probably be 60 degrees and sunny.:O: In looking at the current forecast for DuQuoin it certainly doesn't show anything that bad.:headbang

Sorry to hear that the races are canceled, but I'm glad they didn't wait until the last minute. I know they are predicting another round of winter storms for Friday/Saturday and it would probably have adversely affected their attendance. We still have a rather thick coating of ice on everything, and there is only going to be a brief warmup before another round of low temps.

:thumbsdown: March 29th It is 6 more weeks :Steer

Not surprised. We actually got iced over for a change a couple of days ago. It's apparently much worse just a few miles north of us around Cape Girardeau and I imagine it's even worse in DuQuoin. Some possible snow fall for this weekend around here as well. I wasn't planning on hitting this one anyways since a few cars/drivers from the last show will be in Manzy.
