LIVE from Joliet, IL - NHRA Div 3 LODRS

Made it to the track around sundown, and found a nice little endcap pit spot (one of the perks of having an itty-bitty rig) ;-) Quite a bit of grass pit area left, and as someone had mentioned, you can see strips where drainage tile had been installed. Place looks nice, and people were quite friendly. Looking forward to scoping the place out tomorrow. This is my 70th track to have raced at now! (Well, will be tomorrow)

Stopped for gas in Ohio just before getting into Indiana, and randomly ran into S/SS fan and ClassRacer member doglover44 and got to chat for a bit. Tiny little world! My GPS took me on the scenic route from the western part of IN into IL. Lots of 2-lane farm country, but no traffic.... But got where I was going!

Still lots to do in the morning, including swapping fuel and teching in, but no Stocker this weekend, so I've got a little more time. Miss having my own home and being able to get fuel out of a drum. Went to KilKare last weekend for the first time and bought fuel there, so I've got to drain the mixed stuff out.

More tomorrow!
