    Default More DePue history

    For the a few years the DePue Mens Club sold commermorative(sp?) license plates which were valid on cars for 30 days. Here is one of the plates. They were themed around the t-shirt designs for that year.

    Dale,

    What is this that I hear Depue will not be the site for this year's nationals. Is this true & why not?

    John - Things are still up in the air. Perhaps someone with the USTS should answer your question. I really dont want to speak out of turn and put wrong information out there. Things are progressing in regards to the permanent dam for Lake DePue which will ensure there will be racing for years to come,which is a bit of good news.

    Does anybody know if a bid for the Apba PRO Nationals was turned in at the meeting?

    NOTE: I added 2013. Is this correct?
