The DuQuoin Mile Under The Lights Next Sunday!
 

This Sunday, in just a few days...Sept 6

The Silver Crown cars under the lights...racing around the lake on the dirt mile is a sight to behold.
Sounds like the car count should be up around 30.

Also will be modified heat races. They have their feature on Monday afternoon

Re: The DuQuoin Mile Under The Lights Next Sunday!
 

Actually it is a week from Sunday, (Sept. 6) but I'll be there for the 45th consecutive year!

Re: The DuQuoin Mile Under The Lights Next Sunday!
 

Cannot wait for this race....have been going the last 4 years and can't wait to seen the 2009 edition!:22::22::22:

Re: The DuQuoin Mile Under The Lights Next Sunday!
 

that's what I meant Ron by saying next Sunday instead of this Sunday; still you make a good point of clarification

This will be at least my 30th straight. My Dad started taking me as a young boy, now's its tradition and I wouldn't miss it for anything.

How about that run by Richy Tobias a few years ago, running up high around the wall all night...that was a classic

Re: The DuQuoin Mile Under The Lights Next Sunday!
 

That was the best race I have ever seen at DuQuoin.

Re: The DuQuoin Mile Under The Lights Next Sunday!
 

Going to my first race at DuQuoin...my grandma always said it was the most beautiful track she ever saw...wish she could go one more time. Does anybody have info on prices, where to park, anything else worth knowing? Any help appreciated.:6:

Re: The DuQuoin Mile Under The Lights Next Sunday!
 

How about the back to the front run in 60 laps by Johnny parsons in the Nix 43 2 years ago!!! The whole crowd was into it, JP was passing 1 car on the high side every corner, only to have rear end issues :( I'll never forget that run because it gave me chills to watch him work that magic like he could!!! I hope for another Great Race!!!

Re: The DuQuoin Mile Under The Lights Next Sunday!
 

This will be my first time ever at DuQuoin and I am so ready for it.

Re: The DuQuoin Mile Under The Lights Next Sunday!
 

duquoin is the best race to go to during the season. i look forward to this race more than any other race i go to, ive been going my whole life and nothing beats camping out all weekend and watching the best racing at night.

Re: The DuQuoin Mile Under The Lights Next Sunday!
 

Think the ticket is $25
Parking is i think $5

Malone's taffy is usually just outside the grandstand - awesome stuff.
17th Street barbeque sandwiches are killer
If the weather is good, I like the new turn 1 grandstands
Have fun

Re: The DuQuoin Mile Under The Lights Next Sunday!
 

Thanks for the info miledirt :6: Getting excited for my first trip to the historic "Magic Mile!"

Re: The DuQuoin Mile Under The Lights Next Sunday!
 

It always was my favorite mile to race on and a great fair and great horse racing all week before sun!

Re: The DuQuoin Mile Under The Lights Next Sunday!
 

The Tobias & Parson runs were certainly something to see.:8: Since the State of Illinois installed the lights, this has become a must see race for me. Being a native of Southern Illinois, I spent some time there watching the day races of yester years and since they went to the evening race the track has held up much better. Kelly & I plan on being there for all of the action again this year. Hope to meet some new IOW folks as well.:6:

Re: The DuQuoin Mile Under The Lights Next Sunday!
 

Really looking forward to the race also. Going to have my first crew chief experience with my brother in law Jon Sciscoe getting the opportunity to run a champ dirt car for the first time. Haven't had a chance to go for probably ten years for always taking a sprint car to Haubstadt but it should be a great night and will be fun to run with my grandpa galen and the boys who have provided a wealth of knowledge to our effort. Anyone interested in sponsoring a nice looking race car would be greatly appreciated for the event but we will give the best effort possible either way. See everyone there.

Re: The DuQuoin Mile Under The Lights Next Sunday!
 

The first night race was the only DuQuoin race I've missed since birth. It was a rain-out and I was out of town on vacation with my grandparents on the rain-date. :13:

My first ever race was September 4, 1989-- 9 months and one day after I was born. Dad's birthday is September 4th, so he got to take me to the races for his birthday present. :6: :22:

Re: The DuQuoin Mile Under The Lights Next Sunday!
 

Turn 1 bleechers...Jon Stanborough blasting into 1, ALL CROSSED UP lap after lap a few years ago. I held my breath every time he came into sight!

Re: The DuQuoin Mile Under The Lights Next Sunday!
 

you guys are lucky lol... making me jealous... only the second year of my life so 20 years that ive missed duquoin, the other i was at boot camp, seen some good stuff Kasey Kahnes win in the Zaronian 67 JP's charge couple years ago, Tobias's charge god that was a show, Stevie Reeves win in what was it 92?

Re: The DuQuoin Mile Under The Lights Next Sunday!
 

Yes, that was a great run! I don't know how I could forget JP. He was always one of my favorites.

Re: The DuQuoin Mile Under The Lights Next Sunday!
 

sargent had the track packed so hard last year even JP
couldn't make the high side work. i'm going though to support sc racing
with hopes of a better promoter in the future. also ,usac should'nt
schedule anything in indiana the night of springfield next year i'm sure
the race at lawrenceburg affected the crowd. in this economy they need
to be really careful about booking against themselves next year. should try
to get midgets or sprints in illinois next year to so they can support each other
not take away from each other. support events around duqoin would be nice too.
in 1995 the sprints ran granite city the nite before duqoin so i decided to skip the
nationals at angell park in order to go to those two races for the first time but i wouldn't
have done that for only duqoin.

Re: The DuQuoin Mile Under The Lights Next Sunday!
 

How long/far is it from Angell Park to Duquoin?

Re: The DuQuoin Mile Under The Lights Next Sunday!
 

I have been going to DuQuoin since the 70's. Jim McElreath even shoved a car I was working on under the ribbon rail. Not as far as Gordon did though. The most breath taking and beautiful mile there is, no doubt. The most amazing thing for me was to watch Tyler Walker flat foot it for an entire lap. Balls to the walls as they say. My wife has heard me talk about it for so long, she is even going with me.

Re: The DuQuoin Mile Under The Lights Next Sunday!
 

tyler definetly took an amazing ride that was spectacular... god im gonna miss duquoin... favorite race of the year, damn deployent :15: lol... have fun and be safe everyone, oh and if you see some drunk guy with a marines well anything (my dads got a shirt hat flag all kinda stuff) and a little black dog thats probly my dad, stop by and talk to him, you wont regret it lol... :32::6:

Re: The DuQuoin Mile Under The Lights Next Sunday!
 

You please do the same while you are on the line for this great country. Thank you for your service and please be sure to get back for many more DuQuoin's to come. :6:

Re: The DuQuoin Mile Under The Lights Next Sunday!
 

Mapquest says 430 miles, fastest route.

Motor ready or are you still Chucked-up? :15:

Re: The DuQuoin Mile Under The Lights Next Sunday!
 

Oh yeah I still talk about that! That's the night I became a big fan of JRS!

Walker's run in 04 was something legendary. Remember Coons trying to keep pace with him early but Walker just marched away. Then coming off a yellow the late run by Brian Tyler who'd obviously been saving his tires. I think only a guy like him could keep a descent pace with the 19 car that night.

Re: The DuQuoin Mile Under The Lights Next Sunday!
 

Sunday Night, mid 70's...no rain...musco lighting...throw in a little state fair food

Dave Darland, Cole Whitt, Bud Kaeding, Tracy Hines, Jerry Coons Jr...and a bunch more

See you in DuQuoin this weekend!

Re: The DuQuoin Mile Under The Lights Next Sunday!
 

Re: The DuQuoin Mile Under The Lights Next Sunday!
 

A one mile dirt oval...under the lights...around a lake

Traditional dirt champ cars and UMP mods...only one chance a year to see it in Southern Illinois, two hours from St.Louis

Re: The DuQuoin Mile Under The Lights Next Sunday!
 

I am having a great time here in your Midwest,especially Indianapolis,and ready for the drive to Duquoin.
Looking forward to a great race.
Come and say hello...:)
You will recognize me in a blue baseball cap with WC on it.
See you all there..cheers..Wayne

Re: The DuQuoin Mile Under The Lights Next Sunday!
 

Be sure to stop by the 43 Car's pit after the race & introduce yourself.

There will be BEER! :32:

steiny

Re: The DuQuoin Mile Under The Lights Next Sunday!
 

hey steiny, we'll be in the stands at duquoin probably where we belong.
don't look for the 83 car till springfield next year. i'll have it out then even if
i have to put in the engine out of my '89 chevy pickup. i'm headed up to angell park
sat. then leaving for home immediately at the checkered, forgoing my usual post race
festivities in order to be fresh for sun. night! might not make it to the pits after due
to long drive home but i'll see if i can talk the guys into it.

Re: The DuQuoin Mile Under The Lights Next Sunday!
 

Two Questions: Will it be free to anyone who walks by? And are State Troopers allowed? :5:

Another great moment I'll never forget from DuQuoin is Nick Lundgreen in hotlaps back in, I want to say 2005... Sitting in the first turn watching him blast the high-side without lifting in the family owned #0 was definitely a sight. That's when I became a Nick Lundgreen fan... Just wish I got to see him race more often. Still one of my top 5 favorite drivers!

Re: The DuQuoin Mile Under The Lights Next Sunday!
 

Good luck Jarrod and Jon and the rest of team Fox! :8:

Re: The DuQuoin Mile Under The Lights Next Sunday!
 

Sorry to hear of your continuing motor woes, we're without for our Winged Sprint here in Minnesota, too. I'll be at AP on our way to DuQuoin, so we can catch up at one or the other. :15:

Well, the Park Service says "Don't Feed The Bears", but everyone else is Welcome! :32: See you Sunday!

Re: The DuQuoin Mile Under The Lights Next Sunday!
 

What and where is "Angel Park"? Why does everybody keep talking about it? Ive never heard of it before?:11:

Re: The DuQuoin Mile Under The Lights Next Sunday!
 

Hopefully they'll be watching over the beer tent after the race.;)

If we're in the pits again this year we'll be sure to stop by and say hey Steiny!:3:

Re: The DuQuoin Mile Under The Lights Next Sunday!

steiny :32:

Re: The DuQuoin Mile Under The Lights Next Sunday!
 

It is with a very sad and dejected heart that I will not be able to make it to Du Quoin for the Ted Horn 100. While at work today I suffered a severe leg injury that has me laid up at home all weekend. I have a friend who live across the street from me who is a nurse and she believes the bone may indeed be cracked but without an X-ray nothing for sure will be known. Going to see if it will get better over the weekend.

Sprntr and the 43 crew, get that checkered flag and have a cold one on me.

Everyone, please be safe traveling this weekend and I pray everyone has a safe and fun race.
