We had great weather and a great nationwide race yesterday, but the weather didn't cooperate today.

Thanks for coming by tom and don, was great seeing u guys. Woulda been better if there was a race. :(

We're staying another night, and will hopefully get to see a sprint cup race tomorrow.

What a WEEKEND!!! not sure even what was best... awesome truck race. Perfect weather for a great nationwide race. A 2 day Sprint Cup race? What about the guy with the big green monaco motorhome, mixing frozen margaritas? or 2 different groups giving away Jello shots? Or the guy next to me, who fed me prime rib roast? Or the new friend with the life sized cardboard "Ricky Bobby"?

Nooo, not all that, tho that was great stuff. Just before we got to the tunnel on the way out, one of Joliet's fiinest got off his harley and came up to the window of the bus, and asked "where u headed?" "I80 west" says I. He says "I'll get ya there, follow me" and climbs back on his harley, hits the light and siren, give me a wave and takes of into the tunnel, in the oncoming lane!

Now I don't know who he thought I was, but he took me past an hour's worth of traffic, all the other cops saw us coming and froze everyone in place til we went by. At the I80 onramp, he shut off the lights and siren, gave me a thumbs up, and we parted company. I don't know who he thought I was, but if he is reading this, I ain't nobody but a race fan, and I thank you!

Oh, if Kyle Busch is reading this, I'm afriad I got a "little too close" to the mirror on your hauler as my police escort and I passed it stopped in traffic. Hope I dint hurt it, and sorry! I am a fan BTW. Jim
