Talking We just finished the Great Race

Wow what an experience and what a bunch of great cars. We did the race in a 57 Chevy. My Fords has modifications that disqualify it. Irregardless of the brand, it was an absolute blast. 2300 miles around the Great Lakes in 9 days. We were car 50. We took 4th in the Rookie Division and 43rd overall. You can read all about it here. The Great Race Lots of great pics, we ended at The Henry Ford in Dearborn, MI. An amazing museum, worth a trip for sure!

Congratulations on attending a great rally. We watched the cars come out of Chattanooga and thru Athens last year, I believe it was. We were meeting them oncoming so we got to see the variety. Might try to make it some year if I live long enough, now that I have a vehicle qualified and capable. The wife and I've done a bit of Vett rallying and really enjoyed it. This may be a bit too intense for we old folks. Thanks for posting the link.

Is that the same one that Paul Harvey used to talk about back in the day? I always thought that would be a neat experience and something I could do when I got older. Guess what..I'm older. Maybe it's time.
