The tour continues. We are in a very cold and rainy Fort Wayne today and finish in Norwalk tomorrow. We made it to Kentucky Speedway, overnighted in Madison, IN, then to the drag strip in Indy and here we are in Fort Wayne today. Lots of amazing cars. The highlights of Indy were visiting a friend at Andretti Autosport and running the Mini down the famed Lucas Oil Dragway. I match raced a Bugeye Sprite. He won by 0.14 sec. it was huge fun.

It looks like the license plate on the Camaro wasn’t lying.

Truth. He was  having a rough day. I spent a lot of time with my cooling system prior to the event just to be safe.

You would think that being from Oklahoma the cooling system would be sorted but maybe he just finished it or something.

The Sprite just squeezed by on the big end based on numbers. I want to see best 2 of 3 with the mini vs Sprite.

Sadly, the Sprite broke today, but they are trailering it to the last stop. Rented a Uhaul. They have been fighting fuel issues the entire trip.
