"Live" from Joliet Div. 3 points race!

[Larry Hill]

Everybody is up and at em this morning here in Joliet. Super Street goes out first in about 45 minutes, then stock. There are still rigs rolling in this morning, but tech opened at 7 so hopefully everyone will get in and be ready by their time to run. It is another gorgeous day here. Supposed to be 85 by the end of the day.

More later.

A few pics from yesterday:


This was taken from our pit spot looking out toward the nice mowed pit area.

Looking over toward the Nascar track. If you look at the base of the stands, you can see the rigs all lined up waiting to get in.


Some people do other things at the racetrack. This is Randy Simpson's mother Becky doing a little painting!


This is a picture of Randy's racecar that Becky painted that is hanging in his trailer.

65 cars went down first pass. had a little tail wind. 83 dry bulb, 67 wet bulb, 430'. Steven Dzorny got pulled back first run. Randy Eakins # 1 at -1.06 under. Lou Conkey is # 4. Great to see Lou and Judy back out. I haven't got to talk to them yet. I will try to get there later today. A few cars they had in the wrong class, so it may take them a little while to get it sorted out.

More later.

Hey Dennis, I'll try.

On the DQ's, ours was for weight, Coville for fuel, and I don't know about Bo.

[Larry Hill]

Just made our 2nd run. Got qualified this time. Some picked up, some slowed. They are showing a 3rd run today, but I assume it is a clean-up run.

[Larry Hill]

It has been a hot day today, but a little breeze blowing all day so it hasn't been too bad. There was a clean up run late this evening. We moved down a spot. We have been enjoying a little "Sex at the racetrack" this evening. Dyno Dan came over and celebrated his breaking into the 8's with us this afternoon with one of our local cocktails! Congrats, Dan!

I have a few pics I took this afternoon:
