Can:t remember the year but they cancelled a couple of days before because a big snow was being called for they were calling for 6 to 8 inched and wind up with a foot on race day

I'd say that was either 2011 or 2012...they ran the full event in 2009 (I'm about certain), and it snowed that night (like about 8inches in the 815 area code; honestly I guess I don't recall how bad it was around the track)...was a white knuckle trip home...I never had any money when I raced, but offered to buy a hotel room for my crew (so thats how bad it was!); but we toughed it out and made it back with no issue...

Ooops!
I overlooked the January 16, 2005 race featuring 600cc mini sprints and USAC Ford Focus midgets. I still show nothing in 2009.

Possibly the weather conditions were really bad and my buddies and I had didn't attend the 2009 event and that is why I have nothing for that year.

Jim, yes, DuQuoin got a huge snow and we got nothing in Evansville.

March 28th 2009 -

& this appears to be about ALL of them!? (although I don't see at least the Jan 19, 2008 one on there...which I know did happen...video on ubtube, the one I always watch wasn't dated correctly tho...)

https://thethirdturn.com/wiki/Southern_Illinois_Center

At a quick glance, it does look like 2012 was the one that was cancelled because of the snow

I listed the January 19 and March 29 2008 races.

I wonder what it takes to get them on this list tho (the one on the link that you can click on and get full results for many of the races...pretty neat!)?
