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.
What part of "the oval hasn't been run in a long time" do you not understand?
It's the semi-circular thing that most Midgets, Sprint Cars, Late Models, and those cars I hope they now run first just for you, Modifieds, run on.

Although I'm not completely sure what Triple Mocha Lotte is, it sounds like something I'd enjoy having delivered directly to my seat.
Yeah, that definitely doesn't surprise me.
