Nice stuff RacingSuperfan. It's cool to look through some of the old stuff that has survived through the years.

I recently received a 1965 Du Quoin Champ Car program from an older gentleman who wanted it to be saved and appreciated. 65 was a bit before my time and I would have loved to have seen some of those races before they stopped being part of the Championship Trail.

The Stock car program from Springfield was purchased by me and I have every program from the 1975 copy shown here all the way to 2010.

I suppose they'll make someone a nice bonfire after I kick but they are very important to me.

Just a note, check the crowd on hand as shown in the picture from the 1964 Du Quoin race on the cover of the program. Too bad these races don't draw a crowd like that anymore. I also remember the crowds at Springfield for the USAC stockers back in the 1970's were just about to capacity as well.

Silver Crown Championship Dirt Cars properly driven on a one mile dirt track are classic poetry in motion. Using that analogy, Jack Hewitt is one of the greatest poets of all time.
