I've said this from the beginning inside racing never works out, yea I know about the Chilli Bowl. I'm glad I wasn't one of those suckers that ran out and spent several hundred dollars on tickets almost a year in advance.....But I do hope it's successful, I'm going to wait and see how things go then make my decision Friday or Saturday morning. The fact there are going to be 250 mortifieds horrifies me.

Mr. imbecile, how do you know I'm not going?

I have been there and done that almost every time. A whole lot more times than you. I've only missed one of all that have been run in the SIC and that includes the shows run during the fair a few years ago. You're an illiterate half wit that wouldn't know a yawner from the best race ever run.

Now go work your face plant magic and do a bit more brain damage!! LOL!!

The prospect of 250 mortifieds is indeed horrifying!! LOL!!

Who are these "people in the know" you speak of dirt crow/CIRF? So far the only person "in the know" that has posted on this has been the actual promoter of the event. If these "in the know" people feel this way, why aren't they expressing their opinions to everyone?

Could this event be a success, failure or so-so? Yes. Nobody knows. No matter what big event we attend there is expenses involved so I'm not sure why that's an issue about attending. Either you can afford to play or not. Does just attending and paying expenses guarantee a great race or that your pro sport team will not lose and ruin your experience etc? No. We all know that going in.

We've all seen great races and bad races from Du Quoin to FALS to Eldora and all points in between. The Dome is really no different.

I guess the biggest issue with this event is the unfathomable costs and logistics to put this event on. One could only imagine. These factors dictate prices to attend as fans and teams but it has to be that way.

All in all it should be a great time in St Louis as us race fans take over Be thankful it's being tried and remember there are far more things to be concerned about in the world today.

Will be taking in the early start time for DuQuoin, leave there and try to make it back to STL in time to catch the main event on the evening Saturday.

Might be tough to pull off, Gateway starts hot laps at 3, usac starts at 4. All Gateway has to run Saturday is probably 15-20 races total, so if everything goes smooth they should be done at a decent time.
