And Jim sent this photo. These Stick guys do lots of thrashing at the track.

Re: Live from Joliiet LODRS.....
 

I have a warning for racers at Joliet rt66 divisional. The pre stage bulb in the left lane flickers after you stage. I made the shoot out in S/G, but the prestage bulbs flickering, threw me off, and I got a bad light. They knew about it, nhra, and continued on. Be aware for Saturday. I hope nhra fixes it. But beware. I did not go red

9 30 am and sprinkles are delaying the start of today's racing. Stock and SS are scheduled for 1 time trial and stock elims are supposed to get underway after noon time....We will see what Mother Nature has planned for today.....

Re: Live from Joliiet LODRS.....
 

Good morning. As MJ has reported, Saturday is starting off with overcast and gloomy skies and the racing is on hold. This rain delay makes is 3 for 3 for the 2016 D3 schedule - or 4 for 4 if you want to include Bowling Green.

Here is the D3TV link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElaqZ4N5qDM

Re: Live from Joliiet LODRS.....
 

This first band of showers has passed and racing started about 10:30 with SST and STK to follow. Not bad, just a 1 hour delay.

Yes, I wrote the First band of showers - as radar shows a another band approaching from the west that could arrive around lunch time.

The weather radar was right. About 12:30 during SC the rain hit. On hold.

They are back to racing about 3:00. And before SC continues, TJ Zizzo takes a test run in the Rustoleum TF car. No word on schedule adjustments - but they are 3-4 hours behind. The announcer has a classic SNL "Superfans-like" strong Chicago accent. I want him to say "polish sausage".

This will give you an idea ....... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLjmnXJ8cJE

Re: Live from Joliiet LODRS.....
 

Schedule adjustment - eliminations delayed to tomorrow morning. No surprise here.

Stock out second after SST. Racing starts at 8:00 am.
