We will stop at around 10 tonight. So wherever we land. Trying to get as many miles in as possible.

I just booked them a hotel on the other side of Louisville. Looks like they will be stopping around 10:30 EST. Not sure if they will update then or if the bed will be calling too loudly by then.

Glad to see things are going smoothly, after the hiccup this morning.

That's pretty good progress for the first day. I'd give you guys an A+ and tomorrow should be better since you've worked out the kinks.

I'm also casually checking on Daytona between bus updates. I considered skipping autocross tomorrow so I don't miss any updates, but then I remembered that we have live timing at the event. I'll just tell people that I'm checking times when I refresh the thread on my phone.

The bus bounces so much that the pedometer on my phone says I have walked 10,000 steps.

I'm curious as to how much oil you had to refill after the oil pressure gauge failure.

It spit out about 4 quarts we think. It only holds 5. Luckily we got it stopped fast.

There's apparently a car show that will be near the hotel so they have gotten some attention. They are eating dinner but sound just about done in with all of this today. Hoping they sleep well.

You'll need to log in to post.
