You made my heart flitter for a minute, Bill! But alas, wrong Chanute!

Chanute AFB in Rantoul,IL hosted many SCCA races in the late 50's early 60's...as well as autocrosses through the early 80's before it was closed by the government.
 
Spent a few months at Chanute in 1968...tech. school to learn Pneudraulics om Air Force aircraft....Hot...hot...and hotter.
