Live from the O'Reilly Jegs All-Stars Nationals in Joliet

Larry Hill · 07-06-2011, 12:19 PM

We arrived here last night about 2:30 am after stopping in Monee and getting the motorhome and trailer washed. They were supposed to start parking at 10 am, so imagine our surprise when everyone started moving up about 8 this morning. We are in and parked real close to the back of the track when you first pull in on the right. So come on by and see us. We are across from all the big inflatables at the end of the track. Thanks to Red and the rest of the guys for not parking us under the power lines. Our TV is coming in pretty well also. For those of you who aren't here yet, you come in on Larraway Road up by the Nascar track like usual, then enter at the end of the track. It is pretty well marked if you are watching for it.

Well, I am going to fix us some lunch, then try and clean out some of the Norwalk grass and mud, then go out and get some pics. They tech and park until 6 tonight.

More later.

Please say hello to our Div 6 Stock/Super Stock reps for me! We sent a couple of good ones to do some battle! They are a couple of great guys!

Good luck this weekend!

Does anybody have a link or a list of the Stock and Super Stock allstars reps that are going to be at Chicago?

Just the point standings is all I've seen, and of course you have to go D by D to see who is "qualified" to attend plus see last year's winners, etc to get the blocker. All this and you still can't see who may be filling in as an alternate, like Mark Faul did one year when Jeff Lane had to bow out. Kind of disappointing given all the hype for the year that they aren't showcased better until they actually get on site to duke it out

Yes, I found this same article on the team Jegs site and a few others, but couldn't find a complete list. I guess we'll find out tomorrow when they post the Jegs qualifying sheets.

Patsy & Larry - Glad to see you're on the job .Normally I'd offer an inexpensive rate for myself and my cheerleader outfit to help your D3 guys and gals along but I'm sorry to say I've already been booked by the Division One hitters way in advance - 'gotta root for the home team you know .

Stay out the way of those CJ's and Drag Pak cars ................
