Any Illinois Boys heading up to Joliet for the NHRA races?
I will be up there tomorrow afternoon through Sunday. Have not had a nitro fix since the Gatornationals in March. Hopefully the weather is better than last year, stormed like hell Friday and ripped the awning off my RV!

Well after almost 6 years and 3000+ post on this forum I finally had the chance to meet a forum brother in person! I have texted, talked on the phone and exchanged gifts with a few on here but never have met anyone in person.
Jeff (bixblk) had tried looking me up a few years back at the Joliet race but I was away from the DRAW booth when he was there. Well I got to meet Jeff in person on Saturday, I gave him a pass to park at my campsite and he gave me some t-shirts. We sat around in tha afternoon, drank a few, talked about cars and just life in general. It was great to meet you Jeff and I hope we can get together again next year!
Jeff is on the left, I am on the right and yes, I could use a little sun on my legs :!: :lol:

Joliet 66 and the Bone
Hey Careful ;)
We are both young and young at heart. Sure we could use some sun on the legs !
Also the first time I have met some one from the RJ forum that I have been bench racing with all these years.
We had a great time chatting and thanks for the hospitality.
For all you folks that have not been out to Route 66, its a fast track and usually puts down great numbers avery good place to watch the Nationals. Try it sometime.
