11th Annual 4-wheel Jamboree Nationals. Saturday Racing

11th Annual 4-wheel Jamboree Nationals Bloomsburg, PA Saturday July 11th 1998

Saturdays saw racing in the afternoon & early evening. Special Events officials decided to change the format of the racing from the obstacle course to Chicago style racing. This is where two trucks go around the same course but start at the opposite end, on the opposite side. So basically they are chasing each other. This allowed the drivers to still use their turning skills & also use the power of their machines. Afternoon racing consisted of Chicago style racing then straight line racing. The evening racing consisted of straight line & then freestyle.
