Re: "Live" from Route 66 Jegs All-Stars Nationals in Joliet

Some pretty good rains came through, they are drying the track now. Schedule adjusted a little bit, but it doesn't matter to us..... Here's a few pics of the weather this morning.

Love your pictures Patsy, looks like a series of "Where's Waldo?" or should I say "Where's WALLY?" HA! I'm enjoying mild 80 degrees and pleasant mountain breezes here at the farm in Vermont. About to pour a glass of wine and sit by the pool. You and Larry should stop by!

They have been back on the track for a while now. Pro round one should be coming up soon. There are still showers in the area, and it looks a little dark to the north, we might get another shower or two soon. Much better temps than yesterday but much more humid now.

Karen, Vermont is not on our schedule for this year, but who knows for next year?? Is Epping close??

The pros are running their 2nd round now. Looks like we might get another storm in the night tonight. The temp is down to 81 and it feels a lot better out there.

A comment about the drug testing going on here. First of all, I think it is a good thing that they are testing. But these people need to use some common sense! This morning during the first round of eliminations they were in the lanes handing out their paperwork for testing. And you have to sign whenever they give you the papers. Judi Bureski already had her helmet on, the engine running and pulling up under the tower whenever these people approached her. She had to roll down the window, take off her helmet, listen to their speil, then sign as she is just a couple of cars back from running the first round. She ended up with a -.116 red light. I am sure everyone has their procedures they go thru when getting ready to race, and this was bound to throw you off. Anyway, someone needs to just use some common sense about when to give out the tests!!

Yes Epping is close, 130 miles from here...less than 3 hour drive. And Lebanon Valley, NY is 85 miles. Had a division race there last weekend.

That is absolutely ludricus, they should even be doing that in the staging lanes. Common sense prevails they should be going to the pit areas of the racers. They probably hired some people from McDonalds to go out there and hand the paper work out. This is just my opinion but that is just down right stupid to do it like that.

You think they do the pros this way. I can see them lifting the body on Force's car to get him to sign his release form.

We are in the middle of another big thunderstorm. Hopefully it will pass on over. We can feel the motorhome moving about a little!
