man, you aint lying!!!!!!!!!!!!! when it was here in '99 it only took me 1/2 hr to get there. the ride there wasnt that bad this year(only took 3 hrs, 95-10 the whole way there, SHHHHHHH!). the 1 big thing i really miss i there arent as many Pro 5.0 cars anymore. if memory serves me, in 2000 im pretty sure that there was like 30 pro 50 cars and now theres only a handful. but in retrospect i love seein all the SSO cars. you cant beat 7.70-7.90's on a 10.5" tire. who knows they still have 2 more years under contract with Gateway for the race, so hopefully it comes back to Joliet i 2005.
