Thumbs up The Magic Mile

Well it isn't official but it looks like I may be going to DuQuoin Illinois to photograph the races on the "Magic Mile".

The VDTRA has an event there on June 28th and there seems to be a conspiracy to get me to go. Due to finances I was unable to commit but I have been receiving calls and e-mails from riders wanting to help pay my way so that I can take their photos on the famous mile track.

I’m humbled at their desire to have me go along with them as well as the confidence they have in my photographic ability.

Well I didn't make Springfield and that turned out to be good.....since it rained out. Maybe I can make DuQuoin; I'm only 180 miles away.
