"Live" from Joliet 2013

It is a little sunny now. But nobody moving. Looks like it will be a late night for all the Jegs guys who have to tear down after they get in!

Rumor has it we are parking at the round track. Nothing official yet though!

Glad we didn't go.

Talk about a clusterf*****! We have just circled the Nascar track and are in another line! They pulled out all the Jegs Allstars and moved them into the track. Supposedly we are all being parked over here in the round track. They numbered us as we came in, but people have been cutting in. Rusty Cook is behind us at #83 and the guy behind him is # 117. Hopefully they will look at the numbers when we actually park.

Long way from the circle track to the starting line.

Long way from where I parked last year, to the startng line. Between that and the drunks with a beer in each hand walking across in front of you on the way up there. Worst I have ever seen. Scratched that place right off my bucket list.

Ya some people there said that this is the worst it's ever been.

Pretty sure we would have left if we didn't live so close. My father was one of the first 30 rigs in line. He said they made him drive around to the other side of the track in a different line...he ended up being in the last 30 set of rigs to park...with parking further away.

Anybody know where the car passes/tech cards are? I guess no one knows where that is?????

We were #52 in line. This morning it absolutely poured and NHRA made the decision (right or wrong) to park everyone on pavement with the All Stars being in the track and every one else being at the oval track. In an attempt to remove all the All Stars, we did a lap around the oval track and the All Stars peeled off towards the drag strip. Wallace was at the beginning of the line handing out the tech cars all morning and then moved to the main intersection and is still sitting there right now. We're parked across the street by the oval track 1.9 miles from the burnout box according to my pit vehicle. Tech is being done at the trailers, in the dragstrip, and at the oval. All in all, there may have been people trying to cut the line and a few are still trying to get into the dragstrip as the grass is drying but we're all set for tomorrow. NHRA is allowing competitors to tow their vehicles across the street and into the drag strip if they would like.
