Was bellied up to the bar with a buddy on Tuesday. Mentioned I was flying to Detroit this week for the World of Outlaws at Eldora. He ponders it for a minute, then “let’s road trip that bitch in my motorhome.”

So off we go Tuesday am from Denver in his 35’ diesel pulling his jeep. Meet up with buddies in Detroit, then Frankenmuth for a night, Lafayette Coney Island in Detroit and down to Eldora for racing on Friday and Saturday night. He was able to get a good space close to the track.

So it’s beers, steaks, Cuban cigars, bourbon and telling a bunch of lies for a week.

I wanna get back to Eldora again!! Not gonna lie, don't know about the road trip. Drove to Tulsa this year for the Chili Bowl. The drive was a once and done for me.

Too funny, I find it easy to bark out orders from the cheap seats. My wingman doesn’t seem to mind driving too much. Although I’m always weary of open stretches of road, when I’ve heard him blurt out “take over, I gotta go” as we’re barreling down the road 😳

I have to drive from Socal to Michigan and back. Not looking forward to it at all. LOL
I will have two other co drivers so that should help.

Not trying to be obtuse but...(Eldora is Eldora)
Y'all should stop in Texas for the High Limits series race.
Rico vs. Christopher Bell in the Kreitz #69 vs. Kyle Larson in the Silva #57...
I'm thinking that's gonna be epic.

Hope you guys are having an epic adventure and the weather holds.

Do at least one thing this weekend you don't want your wife to find out about.

😁

Got rained out last night so we bellied up to a bar and watched the Kentucky Derby. One solid day of racing was probably enough anyway. Picked up some swag for the wifey. What do you guys think, does this get me the big welcome home smooch after a one week guys trip 😳
