Ordinarily, we at Route 66 News don’t plug auto racing … nor many other sports events, for that matter.
But we’re making an exception for this one: the Route 66 Classic at Route 66 Raceway in Joliet, Ill. This sounds like something roadies can get behind:

Here’s a description of the event, in case the video wasn’t enough:
Ever wish you could relive the good ol’ days? Take a trip down memory lane, to a simpler time. The Route 66 Classic is a specially themed Friday Night Test & Tune at Route 66 Raceway. Enjoy old school drag racing at one of drag racing’s premier, state-of-the-art facilities.
It’d be worth it just to see the classic cars. But quite a few of those 1950s dragsters can really go, too.
The Route 66 Classic is slated for Friday, Aug. 12.
