I have to give a review. Saturday’s race at Joliet was very good. The track crew did an amazing job in my opinion considering the precipitation that had fallen and even a slight mist not too long before cars on track. The Allstars and IRA combined for great car count and racing, and dispelled the myth of slick track is better. ITS NOT. The track was blazing fast. The Wisconsin Wingless put on a great show also. My bud Oppweld says they have the proper template for a spec class and once again he’s correct. They were entertaining. Now I have one criticism. Well maybe 2 but I take blame for the first. Having been going there since the very first race, which I proudly waved the Flags over, I have never been there where if you got there early you couldn’t get in and set up some chairs and hang out. Well maybe I missed it somewhere but we got there and hour early and couldn’t get in. Luckily there’s a couple breweries nearby to kill some time. But when we did get back we found that you couldn’t enter the property without your ticket. Well this meant there was one line that lead to 3 ticket stations to drive up to. This line was painfully slow, almost to the point we considered leaving. Glad we stayed but hopefully they go back to the ticket booth for the next event. I must say this, the crew at the track are some of the most friendly staff I’ve seen at a track so hat shake to them

And you got to see Tim Cox race. I thought that was pretty cool.
