yes
Yes
YES

Guess it's all part of who I am.....

Look....Squirrel.




Well......

Long flight, even longer when all in flight entertainment has been lost.

Eventually made it to Chicago, no sleep and limited alcohol use.



Amazing, and twice as long as the photo shows, walkway to my Terminal in Chicago after collecting and rechecking baggage.



Then a quick 45 minutes air time to St Louis, this is over the very flat Illinois landscape

Just look at the order.

This went on for miles and miles.



Baggage collection in St Louis was very quick, really efficient.

Then outside and as I got to the pavement/sidewalk, Adam who is Dennis' son and works 3 minutes from there on a construction site, came down the road in his Dodge Hellcat.

Looked rather good.

Then onto the motorway that was massively congested and running stop start.

Eventually got off onto a service road......... Adam just wanting me to drive. What a question.




Dennis' face was a picture when I walked in asking for a beer.



Race car being prepped for two nights of racing.



Yes, the wheels are different sizes.



More engines than you need.

Two more race cars in the shop.



Dennis' 66 C10 Looking good on it's NASCAR chassis.




Now headed out to the Lake of the Ozarks race track

More later if you want to check in.

Looking forward to seeing 20 of these Alcohol fed V8 sprint cars on the start line tonight.

Later.
