Made it about 11:15 pm, and checked into ? a Super 8 motel, we just went from the best motel - in AL - and checked into the worst super? 8 - in Joliet IL - all in one day. Smoking room is all they had, so we will put up with the smell tonight, instead of looking around at midnight for another room.
Since we left AL around 12:30 and got here about 11:30, the trip was 11 hours with some short stops. The pics we took at Bowling Green were not scheduled, but I could not pass by without stopping, and Jim said OK.
We will get up around 7 and after breakfast, get to the track and probably stay for both sessions. Friday night we drive about 110 miles to South Bend IN and Tire Rack, for the final competition and an awards dinner (picnic).
Saturday we hope to get close to Summit Point WV and pick up Jim's trailer on Sunday AM. He will need to go back for the car with a trailer later Sunday or Monday.
The trip of my life, is ending soon and although I am tired, I will miss all the camaraderie we found with other participants. My thanks to everyone who had any part in this year's event. Brocker really kept us as on time as possible, and no one got hurt, just some cars. I enjoyed traveling the country in a Corvette, especially the driving one part - and on the Barber Motorsports Park track! Such a great time.
