Normally it occurs on public roadways but when we go to Joliet the whole cruise takes place on property. We get to cross the street and do a few laps on the Chicagoland Speedway circle track.

In order to get onto the track you have to pass through a tunnel. You better believe everybody gets on the throttle when they go through that tunnel!
