The Knepper 55 in December of 2015 was a very good show last year and definitely worth the effort to attend. Unfortunately, the Shamrock Classic that was run at Du Quoin in March of this year was a marathon over 8 hours long.
We've got our tickets and rooms for the Knepper 55 in a few weeks but we sincerely hope the midgets are the only class racing and USAC finds a way to get the racing completed in less than 8 hours. About half would be good.
We have attended all but one of the indoor races at Du Quoin and when POWRi was sanctioning the December race it never was a marathon.
It wasn't all the fault of the outlaw carts that the March show was so long and tiresome but they sure didn't help.
