I know it's the dead of summer and with all the great racing going on all around the country a winter indoor race is not of prime concern in late July.

However, I have a question as to whether there will be a December USAC National Midget event this year at Du Quoin. There is no mention of the traditional December Du Quoin show on the USAC schedule.

In the past the Du Quoin indoor event has been one of the better shows of the season dating back to it's days of being a POWRi sanctioned event.

The dirt late model/non sanctioned midget race over at St. Louis is scheduled for the weekend that the Du Quoin show has traditionally been held. The dome deal has been scheduled against Du Quoin a couple of times but that was before the midgets were part of the St. Louis deal and it didn't seem to hurt Du Quoin much, if at all. But the midgets being a part of the dome deal changes the whole scenario.

Really hope the pre-Christmas Du Quoin event doesn't go by the wayside. We have little to no interest in doing the dome thing given it's urban setting and lodging/parking/food/beverage prices being offered at larger city prices. Also, the December race at Du Quoin was a stand alone midget event as opposed to the dome having late models and mortified's there as companion divisions.
