Route 66 Motorsports Brings Lots of “Eye Candy” to the Heidts Performance Car Challenge

Mark your calendar for the weekend of July 16-17 for the Heidts Performance Car Challenge two day spectacle of speed and car show at the Autobahn Country Club in Joliet, Illinois just south of Chicago.
 
Bill Jelinek’s Route 66 Motorsports is sponsoring the Car Show featuring 9 classes of outstanding Classics, Hot Rods, Customs and Late Model cars.  Entry for this two-day car show is a modest $25 and entrants will receive an inaugural HPCC Tee-shirt, goody bag, door prizes and chance to win any number of awards.  Entry into the Car Show also gains admission to watch the high-energy Heidts Performance Car Challenge with on track activities where hot performance and race cars from across the country compete in the four-part Optima Challenge.  Spectator admission is FREE courtesy of the event sponsors: Heidts Muscle Cars, Wilwood Brakes, Nitto Tires, QA1, and Route 66 Motorsports.   There will be plenty of action and everyone is welcome.
 
Route 66 Motorsports has built some of the most stunning and exciting hot rods, muscle cars and pro-touring cars on the planet and specializes in all things that go fast. Route 66 is a leader in everything from vintage hot rod to late-model domestic performance. You can also bet on Bill Jelinek bringing some serious eye candy out for this event, along with many customers who have had their machines transformed at the Route 66 technical center.
