Heading down on Friday. I'm hoping to catch half a day on Saturday and the whole day on Sunday....the big thing is I am bringing my three girls, ages 9,8, & 6. We went last year and it was a bit stressful, but I'm hoping this year might be easier... Cya there!

We're having a Crawfish boil and some homebrew on Saturday if anybody is interested.

My parents are flying out this Monday for a visit specifically timed around this race. The three of us will be there all day Friday. My 6 year old son loves it, loves Ron Capps and John Force. He says it is too loud, even with the ear protection. He is my mini me, but where did that come from? I am hoping maybe next year when he is 7 I will take him back and try again. LOL
Are we doing a meeting for Friday? what time? at the Nitro mall like last year?

Question...

Skyler and I were planning things out the trip to Joliet on the phone yesterday and came up with these questions.....

How does one know if there will be teams staying over to test on Monday?
Can fans like us come back to watch?

Just curious and I thought if anyone had these answers it would be the 'mater community.

Thanks for any help you can give us....

Scott

Dang Scott, for a second I thought you said Sylar and I , i.e. Heroes! I may have cancelled the trip!

Nope.
Skyler is my youngest (17) and loves going to the track, be it Joliet or Cordova Dragway which is where she got her 1st exposure to the fuel cars at the World Series.
We usually attend the Joliet race, the nostalgia race at Cordova and of course the World Series.
It used to be that all she required was a event shirt, 2 sharpies and she was off running around the pit area.
I outfitted her with a nice practical SLR camera, lenses...etc, so now she'll be shooting pics as well acting as tour guide to my fiancees 2 girls.

I honestly believe that the access to the pit area, drivers and crew are what hooked her on the sport.

Take care

Scott
