Live from NHRA Nationals in Joliet....sort of.

[Beth Denysenko]

Well, Alex and I are supposed to be at Joliet right now. Tony is there, we are close, at the University of Chicago Medical Center trying to get to the bottom of some persistent issues with Alex's health that no one can figure out yet. That's my Alex - a medical mystery! But he is doing well, we are still here while they try to find out why this "episode" thing keeps happening. We hope to get out to the track sometime this weekend. I obviously withdrew though I am still on the sheets. Crappy thing is, I waited to enter until almost the very last minute on Monday. Then a few hours later, Alex is back in the ER, then on his way to Chicago. Grrrr. I am such a jinx I guess.

Just talked to Tony, nothing has been called up to the lanes, though they were supposed to start at 9:30 Central. It's foggy and has rained off and on the past few days, so they are probably having troubles getting the track ready. Weather forecast is not good at all, hopefully the very severe stuff will stay west of us until later on Sunday as they are currently predicting. But with weather, well we all know how that goes.

Hopefully some other of our fine fellow racers will jump in with updates, pictures and gossip. And as soon as we get out there, we will add our input.

Have a fun and safe event everyone! Hope to be out there with you sooner than later this weekend.

Beth & Alex
