Chris Carlson Dirt Latemodel 98 Route 66 Speedway Joliet,Il
Here is a video from 1998 at Route 66 Speedway in Joliet Illinois. I believe this was the inagural event for the dirt track. This was my first time on a half mile and the first time we had a big engine in the car. Phil Rehberg had borrowed me his 430 for the race. There were some pretty fast cars at this race.. I think it rained all day and the track was super heavy. This is part one,hot laps and heat race.
