Five Illini Racing Series teams will be swimming in the deep end of the pool this weekend at Poweri's Battle of the Center in DuQuoin.
Set Racing will be sending FOUR of its EcoTec powered cars: Sean Murphy [#5}, Mike Anderson {#7}, Mike Gass [#52], and Aaron Schunk [#53].
Not wanting to be left out of the off season fun, Fred Teer is bolting the big tires on the Honda powered #54 for Jason Allen to drive.
It will be interesting to see how these stock based DOHC motors run without the IRS mandated restrictors and real racing tires on the small indoor dirt track.
I'll try to post an update on Saturday night or during the ride home on Sunday morning.

Heading out early Saturday morning for the easy 9 hour drive. Then doing it in reverse Sunday. I guess I must love midgets. Fortunately I found a buddy to share expenses. My first trip to Du Quoin should be fun.

We'll be there!!
Heading South on the 5 1/2 hour journey Friday night. Gonna' have dinner with dear friends in the epicenter of Illini Country (Champaign) Friday night, stay at their place, and then head the rest of the way down to Du Quoin Saturday morning.
Prolly stop at The Rend Lake Resort restaurant and have lunch overlooking the lake. We'll long for the times we've spent on Rend Lake while at Du Quoin for the Labor Day races.
We'll get to the Fairgrounds in time to do the Christmas Festival of Lights drive through amongst the Fairgrounds and it's lakes.
Then it's time for the main attraction! Great midget action!!
After the races we hope to get a good nights sleep at the Fairgrounds Inn and leisurely make our way back home on Sunday.
Love this weekend!!
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.
