I used to go to the USAC stock cars on Sunday, do Haubstadt on Sunday night, and go back to DuQuoin on Monday for the Champ cars. They modified the schedule for a time in the seventies, and I really had a busy time in I believe 1976 (from memory, not checking my records). I did a stock car race at Chandler on Friday night, USAC stock cars at DuQuoin on Saturday, stock car race at Princeton on Saturday night, USAC Champ cars at DuQuoin on Sunday, and back to Haubstadt on Sunday night. Five races in actually a little less than three days! Makes me tired just thinking about it!
