Live from Joliet, IL, Division 3 points race!

Larry Hill · 06-12-2011, 11:07 AM

Well after a nice evening with friends, we came in and crashed last night. All in all it was another fun weekend with friends. Lots of good food, drinks, and racing! That's what it's all about!

We got up and left the track this morning before everyone got up and got their cars out of their trailers. We didn't have any trouble pulling out of the mud. It should be interesting back there in a month for the National event with all the ruts in the grass from this weekend. I think we are going back then.

Good luck to all who are left in the race! We will be back "Live" later on this week from the Hot Rod Reunion in Bowling Green. I have to go home and work a little, do laundry, go grocery shopping and leave again on Tuesday!

See ya'll then!

Bob I spent all day Saturday on the dyno with the CJ and picked up 18 more hp. Trying to getting ready for INDY and I hate Chicago traffic.

Charley, it already went 123 MPH in I/S weight. Does that mean it will go 125 MPH at that weight?

Charley Downing · 06-13-2011, 08:27 AM

Only Jim Woods and myself know how much weight I was carrying at Martin MI. Should run close to 130 mph in K/S

Well, I'm done uploading for the Chicago points meet,6.4 gigs..107 short videos, I will try to make a playlist so the entire community can sit back relax and watch everything I posted this weekend with just one click...

Wish we could have stayed longer but that how it goes...

This will help you watch all of them with out having to bee right at the keyboard/mouse..

Let me know if it works on your end, please, thank you!

Anyone know what was going on with the Malibu in second round of stock? I'm referring to the one that died in the water box, got it started and almost ran over his helper. The starter had already given his opponet a single but the Malibu driver took off and had his hood fly open about 100 feet down track.

Mike Fuller · 06-13-2011, 12:26 PM

What was the color of the car? Who was he racing that round?

camaro92 · 06-13-2011, 02:15 PM

I did speak with him after the run he siad he was just trying to get up there and get staged he thought his dad had the hood shut and got him out of the way. No body was up there waiving him not to roll up there. Then when he was trying to hurry and get up to the beams, then the starter gave him the red bulb. He said to me well i might as well drive it down the track now that im up here, he hit the gas a little bit and the hood wasnt latched down like he thought, looking at the car just ,a new hood will fix the problem. Like he said the one thing on his mind was just try and get up there and make the run. Cause of problem short in battery cable wouldnt keep car running he said
