Umm, the demo derby's and monster trucks, which until displaced by another entertainment activity, hold the title of "king". Those activities were/are held on the front stretch and a portion of the the infield of the dirt track. The grandstands of the dirt track was/is the seating used for these spectacular events.

The imaging, which is pretty much self explanatory, is obviously from a time prior to the track reconfiguration. Whether demo derby's and monster trucks will continue to be "king" at Route 66 post track reconfiguration is a question for the present promoter. What is undeniable is that in the period of many years prior to track reconfiguration the track was not totally dormant and the "king" of entertainment activity of the Route 66 dirt track was/is something other than racing on the track.







To answer your question in a perfectly honest and frank manner, with temperatures projected to be in the mid to low 40's and with the POWRi National Midgets no longer part of the show and late models and modified's running their A-mains first, we probably won't be there at all.

Although I'm not completely sure what Triple Mocha Lotte is, it sounds like something I'd enjoy having delivered directly to my seat.
