"Could there be two promoters working together with DuQuoin running Friday night and Dome running midgets on Saturday night as Dome moved late model dates to November 29th, 30th and December 1st for 2018. That would be a tremendous weekend for the midgets!!"

Great idea, except the Du Quoin race is Friday, Dec. 14th...

I meant to ask Levi when I saw him but totally spaced it. Apparently Nick wasn't even aware of the change so still holding out hope it's a typo.

I definitely was watching Sunshine trying to get there also as was most of the spectators. Great show as always tho.

Jim,

What I was referring to was that there might be nothing going on at Dome on the weekend in between and Dome could run midgets in one day show on Saturday, December 15th.

Oh, I get what you're saying now. Yeah, that would be cool if it worked out.

From my understanding, the STL. Dome/Convention center has already been booked up on the weekend of Dec.15 2018 since last year at this time, when a 3 year contract was signed with the group that puts on the Gateway Nationals. That’s why the Gateway Nationals are Scheduled to race the weekend before the PRI show in 2018. Unless something has changed.

Now why the Knepper 55 is scheduled on December 14 2018, on a Friday night, is beyond me.
