    WoO @ Joliet in 2017

    WoO Late Models are back at Route 66 October 13-14 2017 as new dirt is being laid down at the track in the coming weeks! Good news for all the area drivers and fans that have asked for their return for many years. Sherri says several events will precede the fall WoO Special.

      They'll be just fine, we just had an 80 degree weekend at the end of October. The weather is what it is and you never know how it will be!

          Remember when?

          This is good news. I'm with you Tacky -- it's a start. Who remembers when Hav-a-Tampa came to Joliet? The place was almost new and the surface was sketchy, but what a facility! Babb was a pup, still driving the family-owned car. Fought off Moyer and Arp for the first 80 laps before Moyer got by on a restart and went on to win.

          You wanna see a facility like the Dirt Track at Charlotte? Then look at Joliet, Charlotte is almost a copy of this place. Glad to see Heckenast get another shot promoting -- and way closer to home. All the best of luck to her. We'll be there.......whether it's October or not.

          Go 18!!

            Where you see this? I'm about 42 miles from the track on the Indiana side of the state line.

              Read the article, something that got my attention mainly because I've never heard it mentioned in the racing community...... "we are bringing in organic dirt" whats so great about "organic dirt" compared to others ???

                  I was contacted about this project a few years ago as they were looking for black dirt like we've supplied FALS in the past. We were just too far away to make it work cost wise. So I'm assuming what she's calling "organic dirt" is black dirt that could actually grow something unlike clay.

                      No, the Lucas Oil schedule is posted on their website and on DoD.
