I love champ cars on a mile. The problem is when was the last dirt mile built? That unfortunately says alot about interest in these races. I think it is a shame, But these historic places and races are becoming a thing of the past. As for adding the dirt miles to indy cars, while I think it would be neat. I went to Indy when Hewitt and Kinser raced in the 500, and I bought 4 tickets for $25. I wish it created more interest,but it didn't. Heck on any given race night there are 100 fans on this site waiting for updates instead of going to the sprint and midget shows. Are these people going to fill any seats? I doubt it. With that said I hope Duqouin is a home run for cars, promoter, and fans. I would like to go but I am going to Sun Prarie on Sat. I can handle the 6 hour drive to Kokomo for Sun easier than the 8 hour drive to Duquoin followed by 7 hour drive home. I must be getting old.
