Route 66 Classic

Text and photos by Dan Ricks

The Route 66 Classic was one of those nostalgia events that had something for everyone from great band performances to classic pinup contests to some of the finest street cars around in the show car corral.


 Then you take a stroll through the pits and find just about every type of nostalgia race cars you could imagine from gassers, super stocks, pro stocks, funny cars, front engine dragsters and much more and at time there may be a big-time nitro car or two show up for a test and tune session.


With racing all day and into the evening it made for a great time for all those who love racing, especially nostalgia racing!


BRING BACK THE ROUTE 66 CLASSIC!
