Live From Joliet

Is anyone doing a live report this weekend ?

I sure hope so. Brian and Ryan are back there for the Allstars and I sure want to keep up with the action.

I am in Joliet. There are about 20 of us left in stacking at the NASCAR track. They said they were parking until dark, and I was playing catch with my son by daylight when they said "that's enough" and swung the gates closed. Great time!

They did extend tech 1 additional hour last night and are starting tech an hour earlier than originally scheduled, at 7 am. We should be moving pretty soon.

I just saw that NHRA Allaccess is audio only today. This is much better. Not what we paid for but better. Now if they will just turn on the video switch so we can get what we paid for. Not sure if this is enough to get me to renew next year. Maybe. Maybe not.

Don't know about you Mack but I still very much miss what DRC used to provide for all the races. Summit pulling their full sponsorship of Larry's great crew was a bad move, no more Summit deliveries to my place since.

Jim, I totally agree about Summit and DRC and they also sponsor Anderson's cars so they are out in my book also. Plus Jeg's helped pull the Mopar sponsorship from the Johnsons so they are out for me too. So guess I won't be buying any on line parts now. But, I'm just a small pebble in a giant river. 😀

You know Jim you could be looking at it from the wrong angle. If we support Summit with our purchases if and when the economy comes back maybe they will start to sponsor the DRC again. They support drag racing in several other ways and give great customer service.

We are sort of hi jacking this thread by discussing Jegs and Summit, however both Jegs and Summit put lots of money into the Sportsman programs.
JEGs supports the Sports Nationals and Summit supports the ET programs.
I still order from both.
