Odd duck,is an understatement...
He asks why I'm in town.I tell him,came to watch the USMTS mods race.
He tells.me...Ya, know ol'Bill (route 66 owner) is fixin' to go under.
I look at him...Really!?
He says...yup,they ain't drawin' any fans or race cars.
I look at him...ummm, o.k.
He says,yup...that's why we're fixin' to open up again.
...guy's a bit...of a whack,for sure.
He ran a couple of shows 4/5 years ago.
$1000.00 to win for mods...they pulled 8 cars,Dee Gossett won.
Winged sprint show pulled less&he cut the purse.
Good friend of mine,actually built the asphalt track.
...it kicked ass for the first couple years.
By buddy sold it for what he says was "dumb money"
It lasted a few more years.
It's now a mobile home park/housing development.
I can't think of ANY other track in the southwest that pulls the crowds&cars...that Route 66 does on a weekly basis.
