"Live" from Joliet 2013

Who's parked the farthest from the starting line ? I feel bad that a lot of people have to park over by the round track have to use a lot of fuel just to get up to the starting line. Thanks Larry and Patsy for your updates and photos you guys do great !

We are still under a rain delay.The track is almost dry. I just drove from where Brina Splingaire was pitted to the water box on my scooter.I think she wins the Wally at 3 miles.

I know this is easy for me to say sitting home and reading about the situation there but its UNACCEPTABLE !
Just my 2 cents.

Well about 2:30 this afternoon (Friday, BTW), we realized that we are done until next Thursday with racing! So what do we do?? Eat and drink, of course! We went over across from the track to Mr. B's and here are some pictures from there. We beat the rain and stayed until after it finished raining. Pros are running now.


This was the losers table except for Kevin. He is still in in both stock and super stock. This is Joey Teuton, Kevin Helms, Carolyn and Jeff Teuton.

I now have a question==When you take pictures with a cell phone how do you hold it still so it doesn't blur?? I apologize for the quality of these last pics. Somehow I have to learn how to hold the phone still`

No wonder the SS Hemi boys don't go rounds...not enough money for fuel ...broke a valve spring at mile marker 2

I think the Joliet city commission is missing out on a real opportunity to have a "Cruise In" on the route from the sportsman pits to staging. Bring in some Cotten Candy trailers, a portable stage and some 50's bands and line the route with lawn chairs. And don't forget some carny rides including the tilt-a-whirl.
