April 28 11:15PM - South Bend Arrival

Left at 8:40 this morning and made it to South Bend by about 7:45.  Pretty much drove the 622 miles straight through.  We stopped for gas/snacks and swapped drivers every 2 hours.  We had a late lunch at about 3:00 in Strongsville Ohio.  We made the trek with 2 other teams: Woody Hair and Robbin Sparrow (2011 BMW M3) and Brian Hair (E36 M3)  Brian was making the drive alone as he was meeting his partner in South Bend.

Drive was fun (yes you can drive for 10+ hours and have fun).  Had walki-talkies across the cars so there was a good running commentary about everything.  Saw lots of speed traps but kept things under the radar.  Weather was ugly in Washington and South Bend otherwise passing showers.  Got a bunch of pictures but these will have to wait till tomorrow as we are pretty tired at this point.

Tomorrow is an easy day.  Registration and Tech inspection, drivers' meeting and a evening party.  Saturday starts the events.
