Still it's the only way to really see what America is really like. Driving at the sedate pace these old cars move at allows us to enjoy the countryside instead of racing along interstates, not meeting people or really looking at the scenery. I'm so glad you're all taking the time to update us long the way with these blogs and the pictures. From every corner of the world we can now ride along with you on this adventure. My husband and I are looking forward to meeting all of you when you arrive in Rochelle next week. We'll be the ones in the unrestored American made Austin. When a once in a lifetime event comes within 15 miles of home like your tour, a person just can't stay away. Safe journey to all of you. See you next week.

My boy friend & I just got through w/ the centennial Great Race & some of the best memories we have are of the acts of kindness along the way when we had problems(http://www.longestautoracecent.com/images_from_the_road.html. [Oct 24-Cadillac woes]). I was wondering if it's ok we to tag along once you get close to Sacramento? Not in his car, but Gracie my 36 Lasalle (it hasn't had it's hood blow off yet , so looks a lot better than his limo! Take it from me don’t let the “little things” get you down.
