Eight years writing for DragRacingOnline. He stood on the deck of that ship playing his fiddle (some DIO, I believe) as that magazine slipped into the icy depths of the ocean. Fourteen years hosting public TVs Midwest Drag Update, which was seen by our troops fighting in Desert Storm 2. And now, he’s back, and the “stuffy-sort” are afraid, as well they should be….

The opening-tag on his last monthly gig was ‘Drag Racing From A Different Perspective’. Yea, no kidding. As Aerosmith sang, “I’m back in the Saddle again”, and this time, Chicago Jon is even MORE un-filtered than before….Scared? I hope some are, but my merry-minions are doing a dance…

Now, lets set some ground rules here. On TVs Dragnet, SGT. Joe Friday wanted ‘The facts, just the facts”. And sure, we’ll get that for you, but here’s the deal: You, dear reader, deserve MORE. We’ll dish up links like they were SAUSAGES, but the plan here is to bring the same merry-mayhem that we did last time, only…..(evil laugh) THIS time, I do NOT have an editor, and if I feel like ruffling feathers, well, so BE IT!

You won’t be needing “Little Ralphies de-coder ring” to finger out what the BLEEP is going on here, folks. The Nitro Joint will smack you upside the head like an Icey January wind rolling off Lake Michigan, so buckle-up, things are about to get a little, check-that, a LOT fun…You like fun? Good, you are in the right place….
