Topic: Joliet...who is coming and what ya' bringing

We are about 6 weeks out so I guess it is time to start gathering intel on the competition (yeah, right).  So who is coming and what pile crap are you (hopefully) driving on the track?

Bad Decisions is bringing the '47 (or is it '48) Plymouth again and that will be piloted by our grizzled veteran drivers while our Dustbuster will be championed by two total newbies and two team member with only few races under their belts.  The newbies are hoping for rain and the veterans are just hoping we solved our mechanical woes in the Plymouth.

I will be organizing a Potluck again Friday night so stay tuned for more information.

That's if those jerks installing the cage can get it done in time...and don't like sandbag to ruin your fun.

WTH is a GM R body? Edit: Nevermind, I found it. Not something that is easy to find out.

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

Not easy to find that info as it was not real GM and no one even remembers the car...

Don't act like you're not hoping I don't show up with my own car to break.

Placebo Racing will be there with the Merkur. No changes, so a wheel will most likely fall off.......again.

Re: Joliet...who is coming and what ya' bringing

I'll be judging there and I have a pile of old Lemons stuff I'm bringing to get rid of.  That may or may not include a 1990 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser Wagon. Gotta figure that out in the next few weeks.

So if you want any Lemons(ish) memorabilia, I'll have some stuff to give away or possibly sell with proceeds going to the charity (TBD).

Don't worry.  It's more likely to snow this year  based on the kind of weather we have had so far this winter. It's supposed to drop below zero for early next week!

Re: Joliet...who is coming and what ya' bringing

I'm out as I'll be flying home from China that Saturday and I'm pretty certain Bruce (Team Sheen Integra) is sitting this one out as well...

Therefore it will be a beautiful 64°F weekend with bluebird cloudless skies. You're welcome.

Ahh... cool.   Well... hopefully we won’t be in the way when you’re flying around in the wet.

Re: Joliet...who is coming and what ya' bringing

Well, the #219 1992.5 Eagle Talon will be back!!  We bought a 91 TSi to go fast, but the motor ended up being junk.  So we bought a 92 Laser RS.  It also won't run.  So we're back in the Talon! 

Hoping to camp in a spot that isn't swampland.
