The play by play the year we sponsored the Great Race
Almost immediately after Hemmings published the 2021 route, we realized that this year the Great Race had a stop in Mooresville, NC- a 20-minute drive from our headquarters! For the car nerds (like me) at work this meant on Saturday, June 26 we needed to keep our calendars clear so we could see what all…
We made it. Our last night was in Findley, Ohio. It feels great being back in Ohio. Our travels on Sunday were from Findley, Ohio to Dearborn, Michigan, for the final checkered Flag. We had a pretty short run on Sunday. We made our way into Dearborn around 3:30 for our grand entrance to the Ford Museum. We had a great time. Thank you for Sponsoring…
Today we started out in the number one position. What a thrill. We started in Warren, Ohio lunch in Mansfield and spent the night in Findlay what a brutal day with the heat. Everybody cooked in their cars. The asphalt was so hot the tires picked up the tar and stones and made a mess…
Today we are going from Buffalo, New York to Warren, Ohio. Our route this morning was through the Allegheny National Forest. Weather was perfect this morning. It was a nice cool ride . The further we got South the more the day started heating up. We pulled into Warren this afternoon and the bank’s temperature read 101. It was a warm ride…
You just never know how a day is going to turn out. We got the instructions at 7:30 this morning and they were long so we knew it was going to be a long day. It was going to be very difficult due to all the stops and goes and transitions from slow to fast…
We left Ottawa Ontario Canada and headed south. We had a pretty long run this morning with a lunch stop at Kingston Ontario Canada. What a beautiful town it was right on Lake Ontario. This afternoon we traveled back to the good Old U.S.A. Great to be back in the States. Canada was awesome, but is great to get back the where you…
Well the weather was great today and the wind was in full force. Jewel pulled a good pill for a starting position today #18th you don’t want to early. We started at 7:30 am from one hotel and got to the new hotel at about 8pm. That is a very typical day it is a…
Today we are going from Sudbury Ontario Canada to Barrie Ontario Canada. It’s hard for us to take pictures during our race to show you all what beautiful scenery we see during our day. The problem is that we are on the clock and concentrating on the race, that taking a picture during the race could possibly cause us to miss a…
Sunday | June 24, 2012 Well, Sunday did nothing but rain. We left Sault Ste. Marie at 7:30 am as the third car out, so it was an early start. We did OK today, had an ace on one leg that made Jewel and I very happy. We went over the Mackinac Bridge. It was…
FRIDAY | June 22, 2012 Today was a beautiful day. We had our warm-up rally where we go for about 2 or 3 hours and work out all the cobwebs in us and our cars. We ate at Empire Michigan, then we went through small towns displaying our cars to companies that sponsored our lunch….
