We are getting closer... The 98 went into a Reliable transport truck last night, should be at Road America some time next week.

One last weekend to put the finishing touches on the HP car, then we hitch up the trailer and start the looooooong drive.

Road America is one reason I miss living in Wisconsin. I have friends going--wish I were!

I've driven that track before in three vehicles including an xB. As this picture proves ... the xB wasn't the fastest thing out there.



Have fun, good luck. Say hi to turn 5 for me. :D

TOPEKA, Kan. (Sept. 12, 2011) – Sports Car Club of America will again have flag-to-flag coverage of the National Championship Runoffs® on the internet via SpeedcastTV.com. For the first time ever, the event will be broadcast in High Definition.

For the third-straight year, viewers worldwide can catch each lap of the 24 races that comprise the prestigious event, which crowns National Champions in 24 separate races and has been long referred to as the “Olympics” of motorsports. The action will be called by familiar voices to road racing fans, including Greg Creamer, Chip Herr, Dorsey Schroeder and Jim Tretow. John Bisignano returns as the grid and winner’s circle reporter, the 16th-consecutive Runoffs for the former Formula 1 broadcaster.

“We’re very excited about the Runoffs webcast this year,” SCCA VP of Marketing & Communications Eric Prill said. “We have a talented and knowledgeable team of broadcasters, and the move from standard definition to HD will definitely enhance the viewing experience. Special thanks have to go to our Official Vehicle, Volkswagen, for making the upgrade to HD happen.”

All 24 races will be broadcast live Friday, Sept. 23 through Sunday, Sept. 25 from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. (CDT). Following the live broadcasts, each race will be available on demand. Both the live and the on demand broadcasts are free of charge.

"We're very excited to deliver the Runoffs for the first time in HD,” Speedcast Productions President Clark Cambern said. “This is always an incredible event, and the combination of high definition footage and a world-class broadcast team is going to make this year's show the best yet."

To view the SCCA National Championship broadcasts, please visit www.speedcasttv.com/scca. A full listing of past events from 2009 and 2010 is available on demand now.

Not this year, she could not fit it in her scedule.

We stay on the lake in Sheboygan.

All loaded up, hitting the road at 6:00am. We have to knock out 1000 miles tomorrow.

Fuel stop in Richfield, UT., just past half way to Denver.

Toyota, please put the V8 back in the 4Runner line... The V6 gets a tiny bit better gas milage, but hates towing up hills.

Well, I should be suited up and headed to grid... but with three more days of qualifying I think we will sit in the media center and stay dry. It would be fun to try out the rain tire, but the down side could be big.

I hope you get some clear weather soon! That's an awful expensive rain delay.

Q1 is over... currently sitting 7th, which is much better than 13th from last year. But I am stumped, lap times are slower than last year, and no improvement in top speed on the straits.

Thinking about a front spring change to get off the turns better.
