Oh man its good to be back.
We're blowing off track day and lunch and heading straight to the Biltmore after we check in.
Doesn't sound like it, but this is a true endurance test. The driving is one thing, but its activity after activity when we check in and virtually no down time.

warped perspective...
This leg of our trip is 238 miles, and now only 40 miles into it both my dad and I have the feeling that we're almost done. After averaging over 800 miles a day, 238 seems like a trip to the corner store.
My ass still hurts tho.

on to willowsprings
The international raceway to be exact where the big boys are gonna strut their stuff.
We had mistakenly thought yesterday was our final checkpoint, with a caravan to LA, but we just met up with the Miami group for the final of five legs.
We made up all our time and we feel like we're in good shape so if we can just hit the 61 mph average today, I should be driving home in a new saleen tomorrow.
Still no Molly pop sighting, but we did get full blown helicopter TV coverage this morning. This event even makes waves in a town famous for ignoring tsunamis.

i love this town...
Its 830 and about 95 degrees right now.
I hit the cigar shop last night, knocked back a few mojitos, played a little poker, got married to second pair and realized I was too tired to play good cards.
Our run today is out to the track and rumored to be only 200 miles. From there we run the track at open speeds (very nice treat and the thing the southern boys are looking forward to most) and then a caravan out to LA.
One more leg. We'll get our variance time from leg 3 I suppose, which will help me double check if I had my math right for the first there legs. If its different, we just need to make up that gap.

lying in wait...
Made it! We're hiding next door waiting for our time which is 19 minutes away.
We nailed it and i've prematurely lit my victory cigar, the last bolivar royal corona from the trip!
It'll get announced tomorrow, but we've got as good a chance as anyone to take home first.
