sw4400 Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 Roadeo competitions are private. They are held for CTA Employees and their families only. They are usually at Skokie Shops, but in order to be there, you must be a CTA Employee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, really....I remember most of the competitions being held in the parking lot at US Cellular Field and the news media making a big deal of it, both print and TV. I realize it was never "publicy promoted" to come out and see it, but it was usually a big deal. And...didn't budget cuts curtail this ???

But are they doing it anymore there? I know they do it at Skokie. But are they doing it at the Cell? I know theres a public display where the public can come out to see it.

sw4400 Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 What exactly is this "Roadeo"? Is it some competition where the drivers do harmful things to the vehicles(i.e burnouts), or is it something like one driver races another around the designated lot/area?

See APTA page for the 2007 one (now completed). Now if Route 66 Dragway had articulated bus races ..., but the Roadeo isn't that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
