Uncle Joe Benson gets soggy at the 2009 NHRA Winternationals.

February 7 - 8, 2009: Right in the middle of torrential downpours, there was J.B. at the NHRA Kragen/O'Reilly Auto Parts Winternationals Drag Races at the Auto Club Raceway in Pomona. Not only did the storms greatly alter the Saturday and Sunday Uncle Joe's Meet & Greets with the KLOS Cool Patrol, Randy Balough never even got to race his Uncle Joe's Super Gas Corvette! Next time, we say, we'll get 'em next time.

Keep your eyes on the camera... keep your eyes on the camera.

If you can't go racing, then hanging next to the Beer Depot can be fun.

Drizzle, what drizzle?
