Topic: Still on the road!

Speedycop, Ronman, and I are still in the truck somewhere in the PA countryside riding the high of our second IOE win and about 5 large coffees each. We have been rotating drivers and "marking our territory" every hundred miles or so.
We can't begin to thank everyone who came buy to offer help and lift our spirits... especially when we showed with an incomplete car. I personally would like to thank Mark of the Deathmobile MR2 for schooling us in obscure toyota wiring and creative reforging of our tierod ends.
I hope to see you all at New Orleans!!!



Oh and one last thing - could the guys racing the cheater... err... stripper pole Crown Vic get me a list of things they did to it cause I really want my built 2002 Crown Vic Sport to handle that good! That bitch was dialed in!

Re: Still on the road!

We're just now (and I do mean JUST now, the eyesore that is South of the Border is still visible in the mirrors) crossing the NC/SC line. Still have 150 miles - almost 2.5 hours - til we finally reach the luxurious Chateau du Bonedriver outside of Charleston.

This marks over 24 hours of nearly contiguous drivetime just getting home from the race. Keep that in mind next time you cry about a race being too far because the track is more than 2 hours from your/your mom's house.

Oh, by the way, I still have another 8 hours of driving to do tomorrow to get back home to Florida.

Re: Still on the road!

Finally off 95, and onto I26. 25 more interstate miles and 10 on surface roads and we will be crashing, hard. We've been switching between driving and riding shotgun every 50 miles for a while now...

Re: Still on the road!

Aaaaaand... home. No shortage of fog or deer on the road but we made it with no trouble other than the low fuel light shining brightly at usfrom within the instrument cluster.

I'm going to bed now.

Re: Still on the road!

Hey, we got in Monday morning around 3am, last 50 miles in 4WD LOW because the transfer case decided to stay in Ohio. Fun doing 35 MPH down the freeway with the flashers on and waving traffic by with a t-shirt while severely overloaded, feels like we never left the track. On a positive note, discussed next years races with the wife as soon as I got home, and told her there were 8 in semi-close proximity. I would have been happy with 3, but she decided on 4, and she might even attend 2.

It Ain't My Fault
