My photos from the Good-Guys Joliet Weekend. Fantastic Rod & Custom Show at Chicagoland Speedway. Nothing newer than 1972. This is the 2nd run for this show in Chicago. Went all 3 days. On Saturday we got to drive on the NASCAR track, AS FAST AS WE WANTED! I couldn't believe it. I got up to at least 100 MPH a couple of times under full throttle, full boost, just HAULIN'! I pulled an Earnhardt and ran the high line. :p It was sooo cool. :cool: A friend with our group snapped his pinion gear and tossed his driveshaft in front of me doing @ 75 MPH but I managed to avoid the carnage. The track officials complimented him on how quickly he went to the apron to avoid oiling down the track. He took a lot of jabs for it but he took it pretty well. Great show. My engine has been together since 1993 and I drove 40 miles on the highway each way both Saturday and Sunday, plus hammering on it on the 18° banks and the car didn't have one hiccup the whole weekend. Not bad for a 15 year old supercharged small block Chevy. ;)

Enjoy the pics. ;)

Thanx Scott,

So many pretties. That Raggy Firebird sure is sweet. Cant wait to show my buddy Paul that dolled up red friddy eight Impala!

Oh my!! Love the all black Nova and the Blue F1(00)

Must have 60 white on orange wagon...

It's too bad my car is "too new" for that event. It would make a trip to Illinois even more fun. My mom lives in Peotone, about 25-30 miles from the track. I took her on a one day trip on part of the Hot Rod Power Tour last year in Illinois. She had an absolute blast!!! Oh, by the way, she is 87 years old!!!
