Sure is fun to DRIVE! Autocross Joliet

Did this at Joliet last weekend. Most fun I have ever had with my clothes on! Thanks to the guys at AirRideTechnologies for sponsoring and taking these shots. Made probably 20 passes on Friday and Saturday and sure beats sitting in a lawn chair waiting for someone to look at my car!

 

I watched you put that roadster thru it's paces late Friday afternoon!

Ya really had your foot in it, that was pretty cool...

EVERY hot rodder should do this. The more times the better. Gary

 

That's awesome! We only saw muscle cars running on Saturday afternoon.

 

Why weren't you out there driving?!

 

Have one coming up in Nov. here in central FL.Lotsa stuff going on at this
show and great fun watching an Isetta bicycling through the corners.Mostly
vintage Jags at last years and I'm thinking most decent hot rods would
spank em. Last year as long as you had lap belts they'd lend you a helmet
and let you have at it.Info and vids here:

Watched you on Friday as well, most impressive!

I gotta try it next year...Chad, too!

If I read the schedule Kirk posted for 2009 correctly, it looks like there'll be drag racing, too! Lot's to do at the GG events.

 

Shhhh...

Not so loud - the whiners and "cool" guys might hear you and figure out that Goodguys events are actually fun and a bargain. Then who would I argue with on here?

 

There was an Isetta on Friday that nearly rolled over twice!!
Goodguys events are fun and a bargain. We drove around the circle track a couple of times too, at a speed that is probably not allowed but what a ride!
Next year let's fill it with hot rods and have whole lot of fun.

 

I didn't want to embarass myself. The guys in the 3 '66 chevelles were kicking ass. Maybe next year.

 

There is no shortage of people looking to argue.

 

Yes there is! Shut up!

 

thats bad ass man.... congradts....... maybe on of these days we will see Kirk's Galaxie out there

 

Saw that, too! There was a really big guy crusin' it with a passenger on Friday, did he drive? If so, it was in little danger of rollin'.... weebles wobble but they don't fall down!

 

There is always the Fonz. You two don't seem to see eye to eye.

 

Nobody here wants to argue.

Yes they do! Shut up!

 

There is a reason that cars have FOUR wheels...










I totally thought we were going to have to go roll this guy back over. The crowd went nuts...

 

It probably didn't help that the car was almost on it's side before he even started

 

yesterday people wanted to argue about what their car was or wasnt!

 

What is it with these on autocross courses? Crowd favorite here too.

 

I saw you beatin on that roadster saturday looked like fun.

Thanks for the pictures of the Isetta. I wasn't sure if anyone got him rolling over. THis was a blast and EVERYONE should do it, who cares how serious the "other" guys are. You don't worry about winning a trophy, do you? There was plenty of trophy hounds there and my california car duster was violently sliding around in the trunk - who had more fun?

 

joliet was a good time on saturday, weather was awesome,but indy is still my favorite goodguys show. Drag racing next year will make joliet better.

 

Until you spin it out hard in a cloud of tire smoke, your not trying hard enough. Always lots of fun.

 

I sold a guy a car, then he chickened out at an autocross,so I got the task of "driving it like I stole it",in front of him. What a blast!

 

The run that you made with your wife/girl friend riding shotgun was a classic..........she is a real sport.

Get in, shut up and hold on!

 

So the drags at Joliet will only be on Friday? How come?

 

ha you look like a bobsled driver leaning into the turns....awesome

 

Couple years ago I was doing 120+ down the back stretch at Lowes Charlotte in my 66 Nova wagon. Not sure thats what they had in mind. but WOW what fun...........

later,Bill
