We just finished our longest transit - 11 hours. Larry had a great day! Of course all he had to do was the standard prep - both the car and me - and eat a chocolate donut at the track. I, on the other hand, had a more difficult day. First, I made mistakes on the track. I make mistakes all the time, but I was really prepared for this track. I should have done better. Second, I accidentally dropped my helmet. Now there are dings and scrapes all over it -- cannot be easily buffed. I'll just have to tell everyone that I was in a racing "incident" and was lucky to survive.
The highlight of the day for me was a trip to the Waffle House! I love Waffle Houses. I wish we had them in MN. It was Larry's first trip in over 10 years. We both enjoyed pecan-packed waffles.
The drive here was uneventful. We did see some tornado damage outside of Burningham. In particular, we noticed down trees with odd pieces of household items and garbage. I finished the drive from Indianapolis to here. The drive was tough -- lots of traffic, wet conditions, and constant glare.
The race is almost over. We have mixed feelings. We have enjoyed the camaraderie and the racing. However, 24 hours of uninterrupted sleep is looking really attractive right now.
Will post more after we have undertaken the Joliet experience.
Thanks!
Josie
