Hi. I'm Lee Ecker-- Track photographer at Route 66 Raceway in Joliet. Here's the first of three photos from the Federal Mogul races this weekend. Chuck Cheeseman was the winner. I also have photos of Cy Chesterman right before he broke in the Coke Funny Car and the Dave Hirata Motorsports Dragster.

[Thanks, Lee! Keep the great Midwest stuff coming! bp]
