How many midgets were there??
I personally would have loved to been there but had other commitments that I just couldn't get out of.
Hope all racers and fans had a great time.

It was excellent racing down there yesturday ,competition was aggressive for placement .
The track looked great and tacky .seemed to be a very fast track from watching it .
The yellow Hoosier speed cars were impressive to say the least , the second place finish car worked his was through the field on the outside and went clear to second ,very impressive driving skills to say the least .

All the classes looked great ,excellent day of racing .
Im certain one the Indiana local boys "Larry Drake" #97d Multiclass outlaw wing won his feature with very very impressive driving skills in his white and red car clear to the finish ...Looked o be a ruff and tuff aggressive field with lots of cars .

As far as the track officials and the way things were done left some room for improvment . Many of times through the night a car would spin out, break down or ect and be on the track and the officials wouldnt even throw a yellow flag for 2 or 3 laps leaving the cars under green with a caution out there. Seemed odd.

Several times through the night the flagman and the lights didnt seem to be working together in conjunction causing lots of confusion .
All in all from being a spectator yesturday and not a driver it appeared to be a great day /night of racing .

Bobby

I think something like 30 or so cars. I would bet a lot of racers were waiting it out to see just how it came out.

What I noticed? Them yellow cars were fast!!! I was very impressed with their drivers. Sure hope they don't get to wound up with these cars.

That Bell Kid started last in his B main (his car quit in his heat), but he won his B in convincing style. He probably started 16 or so in the main and drove all the way up to second before the checkered ended the race.

The 1000cc cars are louder than the 600cc cars and the drive shaft cars are louder than the 1000cc cars, but I'll be darned they all turned about the same lap time and both the shaft drive and chain drive cars raced well together.

We screwed up on set up and>>> AND I DO Not Know Where that Darned Kenyon car came from that finished 3rd ??!!! IT WAS FAST!!!!

Those Jr Sprints were awesome once again>>>>looks like we can expect some really good racers coming up through the ranks>

The track was about 1000% better this time than when you raced there. The track crew did a great job on keeping the track racy.

They did try a variation of the berm that did not excite me a whole lot>>>>they made 2 foot high ramps on the inside of the turns. They definitely slow the cars down But they also put quite a few cars on their tops. I guess the fans enjoyed watching the cars barrel roll off the ramps but the poor racer that put on the show took a pretty good hit in the wallet. I like berms that driver can use to their advantage and make racing more exciting in that way. But then I am are an astute race fan and enjoy the more subtle skill exhibited on the race track.

The fans got their moneys worth>>>>I bet the next race will have even more of them in the stands (probably 1/3 full last night) but it was an excellent show and I would bet the fact that they are racing some sort of Midgets at the Center and the admission was affordable will get out by word of mouth.

I would also like to thank Steve Nace and his crew>>> Jay Tinder>>> and the track prep crew at Du Quoin for putting forth one heck of a lot of effort in making this what I think was one heck of a show.
