On Sunday morning 6AM July 8th, we did not realize how hot things were going to get. By the time we hit state route 65 in Southern Indiana, we were driving our open top roadsters in >100F weather. That's really very warm for Midwesterners, who consider anything >60F warm, and over 80F as genuinely hot. Although the return trip may have been taxing, it was a great ride nonetheless. We got the usual camera's-hanging-from-the-windows, smiles and horn honking. One for the record books. 1700miles this weekend and all the cars ran flawless! |
