This is about having fun right? I have been involved with a car since the late 80's. 20 yr old me didn't care about the heat. I work in it daily and I'll tell you 54 yr old me hates it.
Good to know, I've never been to DuQuoin but been to the Chili Bowl a few times and it's hit and miss there. This year was thick but 340(?) cars what do you expect
