Re: "Live" from Joliet 2013
We were #52 in line. This morning it absolutely poured and NHRA made the decision (right or wrong) to park everyone on pavement with the All Stars being in the track and every one else being at the oval track. In an attempt to remove all the All Stars, we did a lap around the oval track and the All Stars peeled off towards the drag strip. Wallace was at the beginning of the line handing out the tech cars all morning and then moved to the main intersection and is still sitting there right now. We're parked across the street by the oval track 1.9 miles from the burnout box according to my pit vehicle. Tech is being done at the trailers, in the dragstrip, and at the oval. All in all, there may have been people trying to cut the line and a few are still trying to get into the dragstrip as the grass is drying but we're all set for tomorrow. NHRA is allowing competitors to tow their vehicles across the street and into the drag strip if they would like.
