Route 66 Motor Speedway and Father's Day Weekend

For Father's Day, we went to check out the facilities at Route 66 Motor Speedway in Amarillo, TX. From our years at the tracks, this is by far the nicest facility and the smoothest ran show! It is a full 2 hour drive each way for us, but hey, it's just time. And we all know Momma will be sleeping on her way home! Lil E was in love with the races!! Even more than before! She watched in full amazement and didn't take her eyes off! Now she did cry, and do you want to know what for........ Because she wanted in the cars! Our lil racer!!! How awesome is that!!!


The Facility ~ the people are clean! The bleachers are nice and not falling apart! I saw more families than I do at most tracks! It was really wonderful!!!


The Track ~ WOW! It was prepared and was perfect! Could not have asked for a better track! Not sloppy wet rutty muddy, and not your summer dry slick either! It was the way it should be!


The cars ~ They are FAST! Whew! They run Street Stocks, Super Stocks, Cyclones, and Modifieds. Well their street stocks aren't like street stocks back home, guys they are more like a eco late model or hot stock! The cyclones are like the street stocks back home! And the mods were bad! The A main's winner was this 17 year old kid who was BAD! He lapped like 7 cars! Just super fast!



Modifieds


Street Stocks


And guess what, there are several girl racers!!! WOO HOO!!!! We will be going back again this coming weekend, and another couple of times before the Season ends. We plan to check out Elk City Speedway and Lawton Speedway both in Oklahoma, as well. It will be a hard for either of these to compete with Route 66 though for our home track!
