I still kick myself for not going back to Du Quoin for the rescheduled Silver Crown show of 2003.
The Horn Memorial had been rained out over Labor Day weekend and they rescheduled it the following weekend. We've had tickets to the
World 100 since 1988 (still have them) and we decided to go there instead of going back to Du Quoin. Big mistake! I could have easily sold our World 100 tickets and it is about the same distance from our house to Eldora as it is to Du Quoin. We sat through a real snoozer of a World 100 won by Dan Schleiper and we could have been at Du Quoin watching a great race and I'd have saved over 80 bucks to boot by doing so. Live and learn I reckon.
Haven't been back to the World 100 since and got no urge to ever go back. Half the time that race is a bore and the drunks ruin it the other half.
