The Last Ride - Race Your Ride #12

Mike Taylor

Tonight was the last Race Your Ride (#12) of the 2017 season for Route 66. The day was warm, but with a wind blowing it started getting cooler, however the racing remained hot. We had everything from Mike Taylor's front end nitro car (above) to junior dragsters.

There were quite a few street cars and a contingent of Corvettes.

It's not often that you see a Ferrari racing at Route 66!

We also had Mark Pappas and Mike Roppo in their Midwest Nostalgia Pro Stock cars making some hits.

Then there was crowd favorite, Rocky Ausec, in Solid Rock also making some runs.

In addition to Rocky, there were two other crowd favorite cars, Dave VerShave in the Orange Krate 55 Chevy gasser and Mark Cryer in the Smart Car.

There was good racing all night long.

It's hard to believe the Route 66 racing season has come to end. It seems like it just started. The off-season will go quickly and before you know it, we will be back at it! Til 2018!
