Comments: Mark still driving. OnStar sent us to a rib place in Joliet, IL. All we found was The Chicken Shack, 24 inch three spoke wheels, a gal in a mini-skirt and fuzzy boots, and not a single left turn. We thought we were in a horror version of Groundhog Day. I wanted to smoke but was afraid to open the window. We are in a much Happier place now. Time for a wonderful meal at the golden arches.

Comments: Leaving Gippers Lounge. My endurance will be evident within the next week. If I nap, it will be here on the log. I will sign out in 30 minutes or so. We've got a long way to go and a short time to get there ... :-) No worries ... I would do it on my chopper if they let me.

Comments: Showered and ready to roll out the door in a little under three hours. Angel has been crashed for many hours, so I hope he will be fresh in order to bring me to quick life at 5:45 a.m. in order to further prepare the Corvette and get the first event.

Comments: I messed up the wet skid pad and sent us to 60th overall this morning. That hurt, but not as bad as initially expected. It was a good job, if not for the spin. :-/
Angel drove the oval at South Bend well, but it was a slick surface. Angel also did some awesome work at Autobahn Country Club. We should look better in overall standing now.
Mark will give some strong competition at Mid-America Motorplex tomorrow. MAM will give us a home team advantage and Mark knows every bump on the track.
Cops are drooling for Cannonballers, but we have the Valentine V1 on our side. It has saved us many times from 90+ MPH tickets.

The cops are swarming around the Cannonball route. We saw the lizard wrapped Corvette and the Ultima GTR stopped by cops. We have never seen so many cops!

Comments: Hopefully the rain will dilute the gene pool and wash off what the devil left behind.
OMG! This place has got to be the inspiration of Rob Zombie movies.
As we sit here at a bar called Tooters, I finally find myself at a loss for words. There is a huge NO DIVING sign at this gene pool!
Oh, I had better go ... some gal is freaking out because her purse was stolen! Yikes... where are we?
Side note ... the staff here are really nice.

Comments: We are still working with picture and video issues and planning for tomorrow.
I have a feeling that we may be tired soon. I did not nap an instant today. We started in South Bend, IN and went to Joliet, IL for an event and the beat it here to Bellevue, NE. I will drive at Mid-America in the rain at 8:00 and then drive straight to Salt Lake City, Utah in under 19 hours (including sleep and pit-stops.
I will go hose myself off here at the hillbilly hell house within the hour and try to wink for 45 minutes before the 5:45 wake up call.
I am very excited to see Peggy, Simon, and Madeline. I love you all, and I miss you much. Kids, please be good to Mommy. Simon, remember how much Maddie learns from you (good or bad).
I am also happy to see my mother-in-law, Bette. Wow! How many guys can say that? Bette, you are cool. Thanks for the time and trouble. :-)
I hope to see friends and family from Kansas tomorrow. Wear your rain gear!

Comments: The hotel is so dirty that I am afraid to touch anything. The shower head peed on me enough to fill the tub because the drain worked even less. I can see why the locals are genetically deprived ... they are missing HY gene, (among others). It is amazing that these people are walking upright. You will just have to get the whole story later (with photos). I will have more for you later, but I have to check a few loose ends and sleep before the 5:45 call-of-doom. It is still raining and the thunder sounds near. If a 5:25 tornado (or one of these gender-indefinite ogres) does not carry me away, I will see Mid-America Motorplex in two and a half hours (7:00 arrival) with a smiling face. :-)
