Du Quoin has a 20% chance of rain Sunday during the day and 0% chance of rain Sunday evening. It's been raining today (Saturday) here where we are camping at Rend Lake which is about 15 miles due East and just a bit North of the Magic Mile. By the looks of the current radar the track could get a bit more rain before it clears out later today. However, we've got nowhere near enough precipitation to cause any problems Sunday evening.
Maybe the track will soak up enough of this rain to make a cushion so the boys and girls can run up by the outside wall like Robert Ballou and company did last year!!
We sure hope so!
Even the taxi cabs (ARCA), who race on Monday, put on a really good show at Du Quoin. It's a great way to spend Labor Day Weekend. We've been doing the Du Quoin State Fair Labor Day race weekend for 20 years now and get as pumped today as we did way back in 1994!!
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.
