Strictly from a spectator viewpoint I would hate to see anything jeopardize the Du Quoin event. An indoor open wheel show in St. Louis might do just that. The people who are in charge at St. Louis have shown no reluctance in scheduling directly against an established event 90 minutes away. We would not want to participate in the traffic inconvenience that is a large part of the bigger city experience, not to mention parking, concession and lodging costs. Add to all that the fact that straying just a couple of blocks in the wrong direction from that dome poses a clear and present danger to life, limb and property.

The possibility of open wheel racing in the dome is mildly interesting but we'll stick with the tried and true event at the Mini Magic Mile.
