How long/far is it from Angell Park to Duquoin?

[racephoto1]

I have been going to DuQuoin since the 70's. Jim McElreath even shoved a car I was working on under the ribbon rail. Not as far as Gordon did though. The most breath taking and beautiful mile there is, no doubt. The most amazing thing for me was to watch Tyler Walker flat foot it for an entire lap. Balls to the walls as they say. My wife has heard me talk about it for so long, she is even going with me.

Motor ready or are you still Chucked-up?

Oh yeah I still talk about that! That's the night I became a big fan of JRS!

Walker's run in 04 was something legendary. Remember Coons trying to keep pace with him early but Walker just marched away. Then coming off a yellow the late run by Brian Tyler who'd obviously been saving his tires. I think only a guy like him could keep a descent pace with the 19 car that night.
