Chris Carr Racing at Peoria, Illinois
August 19, 2001

Chris and Kenny Carr over the jump Carr gets it sideways
Chris Carr and his tuner, Kenny Tolbert, discuss setups. The Peoria jump is what makes it unique. Chris applied a little bit too much throttle in turn four during his heat race, getting it a bit sideways. This set of Alpinestars gear was donated to AIR, fetching $1000 from a lucky fan.

No one is as smooth and fluid over the jump. Chris acknowledges the fans before the race. A little front end high, but spectacular once again. Chris roosts out of turn two in his scratch heat.

Chris spectates from his pit, watching the semi-final action. Another Jump Photo. Best buddies - Longtime friend and team sponsor George Booth mugs for the camera with Chris. Can't get enough of those jump photos.

Travis gets the victory ride Podium More podium Autographs
Travis got the honor of the victory ride, deservedly so after helping Joe Kopp get back in the race. Top of the podium again. Another trophy for the basement collection. Chris stayed and signed autographs until the last fan was satisfied.
