"Live" from Joliet, Division 3 points race!

Good luck this weekend!

Be very aware for police, Illinois is broke and the cops have been thick lately during the daytime. I haven't seen too many out after dark along the interstates.

Thanks for the good luck wishes. Well, we are in and parked and teched. It is really, really wet. We are parked in one of the concrete crossovers. Heavy rigs are stuck as soon as they stop. People are still pulling in. There is a big mud puddle all along the side of the motorhome and trailer, but at least we are still on the pavement.

Tom Rhoda is here in a DF/S to get a grade point. He is in the process of building a comp car. Debbie (his wife) said she wasn't going to be his "tow bitch". I thought that was great!!

Well it is definitely wine time.

When we left home this morning it was 74 degrees. It is 57 here now! No need for air conditioning tonight. They are calling for 74 and sunny tomorrow.

More later.

Lots of rigs still pulling in. If you are not Top Something or Comp, you're in the grass.

Just watching the NBA Finals.

Everything starts tomorrow at 10. Even Stock gets to sleep in.

More tomorrow.

Good morning-- It is a beautiful day here in Joliet. Blue skies, sunny. It is still pretty wet everywhere from the rain yesterday. Lots of people here. Even the overflow lot up by staging looked full. They should be calling us to the lanes in about 30 minutes or so. Saw Div. 2, 3, and 5 cars here.

More later.

We will be up there this afternoon. We left the motorhome and trailer up there this week. I hope it isn't stuck. Drew started his new job this week so he couldn't get there any quicker. Jim Whalen
