DuQuoin Sat.
 

Who's going to the midgets Sat. and what kind of show do you expect to see? I've never been to their indoor track but have high hopes.

myself and my uncle will be going down.i saw focus midgets yhere a few years back and it was a decent show.i think they have widend the track out between the straights since then so it should be a little better

Re: DuQuoin Sat.
 

the track is very wide and good lenth too the straight's for a indoor track , you will like it ,we raced karts their in 04 and 05 great time.

Re: DuQuoin Sat.
 

$1800 to win for midgets and $700 to win for micros, not bad for January. I hope to see a good field of cars for this event.
Here is the link to the event info.

Re: DuQuoin Sat.
 

I am hoping to make it. The weather forecast looks decent so the drive down shouldn't be a problem. I haven't been to an indoor show at DuQuoin. How should you dress? Is it fairly comfortable inside or do you need to layer up?

Re: DuQuoin Sat.
 

Is there anywhere else I can find some pictures of the Track.

Thanks, JACKHOLE

Having looked at the forcast for this weekend, it appears that it's going to be quite cold out this weekend.:thumbsdown: Anyone who attended the Jan. '05 Du Quoin show knows how chilly it can get in the Southern Illinois Center when they open the doors.:eek:

No matter, I'll be there.

Re: DuQuoin Sat.
 

If the forecast is right, then yeah dress warm the place has good heat, but with the track filling the building bringing cars in and out will be chilly. For anyone that has problems with fumes, they have never been an issue.
Racing wise I've been out four-five times and the track was good with the full midgets creating a cushion up top and the micros should have a strong field and a great show. Also, is a nice dinner maybe a half mile from the track that always has good eats.

I'm ready to feel some dirt fly! :thumb:

Re: DuQuoin Sat.
 

Yeah, pitting outside in close to single digit temps by nighttime would REALLY be the pits! :eek:

Re: DuQuoin Sat.
 

Thinking about coming up. Loyet told me they'd be running that one before heading to New Zealand. Affraid it's gonna be pretty chilly outside though. Anyone who's never been there should enjoy it.

Re: DuQuoin Sat.
 

Found this on youtube from last year. I believe this is indoor track at DuQuoin... it should give you an idea of the track specs.

Tom,

Rick, Troy, maybe Warren, and I will be there. We have always gone on a Sunday afternoon and seen good racing. The track has been enlarged this year. Dress warmly.

Re: DuQuoin Sat.
 

i might make the trip over this saturday

Re: DuQuoin Sat.
 

I am planning on having Chase there Sat. night. He is sick right now but if he is better we are going. Look for a blue and orange 88M in the Micro division.

Re: DuQuoin Sat.
 

I was going to go, went last year and the Micros and Minis put on a great show, but with all the whining and crying about the Chilli Bowl I'm afraid the Midgets will stink up the show, so I'll just save my money and stay home.:angry-smiley-007::thumbsdown:

Re: DuQuoin Sat.
 

heres a site that recorded the races from the march race last year there www.watchmotorsports.com then click on the open wheel tab. we went last year and had a blast over there.

Re: DuQuoin Sat.

Re: DuQuoin Sat.
 

dress warm, we've raced karts there several times and have went to the truck to warm up a little. Should be a great show though! Watch who you run with Chad, I've heard Memmer is a BAD INFLUENCE, especially the dad!!!(are you on here John)
