Went to NMRA in Joliet this weekend and had a blast! Thanks to Chris for the lodging. Also had a great time at DOTY and Manteno

I won't flood this thread with too many pics, just some of the ones I thought showed the event at its best (and worst). The rest of the pics can be seen at:

More to come...

 

Here's what happened on Sunday. Crazy high-speed winds and LOTS of rain. It was ankle deep in some parts.

It was almost at the doors of that silver GT:

 

Here's an exhibition jet car. Ran low 5s @ 300+ mph.


Johnny's ride:


A pretty sweet True Blue:

 

Almost forgot a lemonade pic:


(That's for dinner at Commander, Kelly!)

Also a big thanks to JLP for letting us stay in his trailer during the typhoon!

 

Any lightning times???

Could care less about the jet cars or 7 second disgustangs!

 

hey those are my buddies!!! Cheech, baker and tito. They were telling me about the event getting rained on just this morning and now I see pics of them playen in the rain on the computer!
That's awsome. My friend in the middle won his class of braket racing in his gt. He won $450. nice pics charles. I wish I could have made it.

Thanks, Shane

 

Blast is defined as parking your *** in the bleachers and meandering about the paddock? Or did you actually race?

All the while you could have trekked your keister down to Indy, received some one on one instruction and summarily beat the shizznit out of apexes, Foci, Contours, and maybe, just maybe, a cobra or two.

btw, the 'I didn't have my seats crap isn't flying either.'

 

Still stuck on that Bob? Thought we went over this in the other thread....

I had fun both at the track and at my buddies house. You don't see me going on the IRP thread ragging on your weekend do you?
