Cool Anyone free to go racing Sun. Leaving from New Lenox area

.

Looking for 1-2 guys to help on a quick 8 type car Sun at US 41.
Yes I know, but some friends want to watch. I'm trying to test the new fogger & need some help.
Crew chief has 2 kids in soccer playoffs. Yes I also know, it's only soccer.
Need help loading/unloading, taking body on/off, chutes, fuel, N2O bottles, starting line, turning on data recorder ect ect.
Need to drive a quad for towing also. Anyone that wants a trip to beautiful US 41, I'll be at shop all day Sat, checking everything.
Drop me your number & I'll check my email during the day & give you a call.

jbl@jblandsondragracing.com

Thanks guys.

JBL

Oh yea it's this car, not the Camaro.

Will be trying again the next couple of w/e's. Will check which track is doing what.
Anyone interested let me know. Will probably be day races only. Don't want to test the new fogger at night.

Thanks guys.

Yea thanks, if I could get it there, you have the leave.

Actually I probably would break & watch you catch and pass me at the line.

i was looking for you out there. it was a decent day out. i took my car out for the first time to make some shakedowns. went 9.94@134 on a bullshit pass so i was happy with it. some small issues to work out but not bad for a street car i guess. by the way you could probably shut your car down at the 330 and i still probably wouldnt catch you. good luck getting it out to the track.

That's good news, hopefully the issues are easy to fix. Good luck.

Didn't get any help in time, buddy had a service call last minute & wife was still too sick.

The race would probably be close, I do have some 9.00 & 10.00 @ 60-70 mph tickets.
You just never know with these old junkers.

When my wife is doing better you will see us all over, I hope to put a team back together & hit all the tracks.

Going to make another attempt. Could use a hand if anyone has nothing to do.
Crew chief is trying to make it, but I still need 1 more to run the car.
Leaving at noon from my New Lenox shop.

Thanks guys.

Wife stopped by the shop to help me load. The car broke, firing it up for her.
It'll be a miracle if I make it, & now I can't get it loaded even if I fix it, thanks for the offer.

Stay safe everyone & have fun.

You really did not miss anything.For the first 4 hours the starting line was not great,then after a 15 min break they glued it pretty good only problem now is 250 cars in the lanes.If you think RT66 gets crowded,this was the same ,But with the THREE STOOGES running the show.
