Just did our sign-up.  Anyone find it weird that the Blimp on the sign up page when it rolled during test and tune last year?

Think this year there needs to be a betting pool on when the first wheel parts ways with its car.  I would take the "transponder laps" slot.

The Lemons preview might have some betting lines.

Also for rent for you teams that blow up on the way  to the track, during test and tune or fail tech so bad you cannot possible fix the car in time.

When we offered this in the past the judges indicated such a substitution was possible but required running a personal rickshaw service for the judges all weekend...or I might have made the last part up and it has more to do with giving them a valid reason.

I will even bring the moderately ineffective, but never offensive, light bar.

Please tell me someone is bringing cheese curds to this race. A delicacy that just can't be found out west.

Re: Counting your chickens early: Autobahn 24-hour race in July

Calm down.  Dont get excited.  Joliet is still in the cheese curd belt.  Albeit in the lower reaches, but safely within the confines of the curd belt.  Available from a local eatery.

On another note for us southerners Joliet is well above the chocolate line for DQ soft serve ice cream.  Something us southerners can only dream of...  two flavors of soft serve... awesome...

The Team Sucker Punch guys usually deposit a(n un)healthy amount of cheese curds in the Penalty Box. Come see Phil and I during the race.

But no one gets chocolate, or vanilla soft serve, everyone orders a twist so you get both, and where available you get it dipped so you have a hard coating of chocolate over it.

No cheese curds, no multiple flavors of soft serve, how do you people survive in such uncivilized places.

Re: Counting your chickens early: Autobahn 24-hour race in July

Well, here is a shoutout to Chris at BFE asking about Vince and wondering if he's still in the map business.  Luckily, I was able to get hold of Vince in the usual manner.  Dozens of emails, several letters, smoke signals.  The normal stuff.  Vince is so far off the grid the roadsigns by his place say "resume safe speed" if you know what I mean. 
Vince just likes to stay under the radar.  In fact he's been incommunicado because he's back at it again.  That's right, burying used school buses.  Apparently those mopes over there figuring out the whole Iran/nuclear bomb thing are worrying Vince.  I told Vince, "hey, what could possibly go wrong?  We have our best people on it."  You can imagine how that went over.  Yeah, he bought another backhoe. 
Ol' Vince has a pretty big dig going on.  He calls it Vinceworld.  He figures that he can bury himself down there, procreate, and keep the species viable.  I don't think he's spent any time on the whole procreation part of the formula. Trust me, you haven't seen Vince in person. Not much of a catch...
Anyway he was able to eke out this beauty in between runs to town for diesel and propane.  This should clear things up for anyone navigating the track at Joliet the first time.  Cheers.

No, he has that right. The "not sure" part is behind the big club house we're not allowed in by the North/South track crossover, and the food is by the round abound.
Also, isn't the "future NSA and brain melding lab" actually a cemetery?

Fourteen time loser. You'd think I'd know better by now.

The cemetery is just outside the area he is showing.  It should be noted and an area marked so people are aware where they need to look out for ghosts.
