Ron,

You have seen many good ones over the years. I hope this years race is also one we will talk about for a long time. Hope to see you and the #1 Dave Darland fan on Sunday.

Looking for a good turn-out of open wheel vintage racers. We had the best of intentions at Springfield.

Tried to save the Saturday morning by stopping by Jungle Jims, could not find it! Not easy to look for an address while towing a trailer.

Look us up at DuQuoin, the white number two, champ car replica.
Used to run the St. Louis area as a center steer , winged, modified back in the early 90's.
We converted it to a champ car look -alike because we were raised on Springfield, Little Springfiled and DuQuoin. With help from Danny Frye Sr., Joe Saldana fuel tanks, and Al Prueitt fibreglass, she turned out ok.

DuQuoin on Sunday and Terre Haute on September 11.

Stop by and check in, tell a few lies, it's just racing.

I'd like to meet some other IOW'ers maybe after qualifying, grab a cold drink under the turn 1 or 4 bleachers? -

This will be my 33rd straight attending with my Dad

I am really looking forward to Duquoin. As a kid I was crazy for Champ Cars and the Indianapolis 500.
My Dad was not a fan, but in the early sixties he did take me to a champ car race at Duquoin.
I will remember details of that great day forever.

This year I will return and be twisting wrenches for Randy Bateman. I will get to experience the race
from "the other side of the fence". Very cool! It would be very cool to meet some IOW'ers also. I will
be the guy that looks like me in the photos in my 2006 - 2008 album. :2:

I'll be there again, havent missed one in over 20 years and since im only 28, its a record that could become a good one in a few years. I'll be there driving a gentleman from Bunker Hill Il. 's yellow number 86 modified as well as possibly giving my 2011 Silver Crown car owners vintage entry a cruise around the magic mile. My favorite time of the year, Im really looking forward to it. see ya all there......

Johnny Heydenreich will be there in the Sharon Bank #90 sponsored by Superior Tank & Trailer and CoolFitWear.com.

The engine was sounding like she was ready to roll from 1-1/2 weeks ago when we were prepared for Springfield...

Unfortunately, the only thing that got to rock and roll at Springfield was the truck and trailer!
