Day 3: 98 Miles and Tire Rack

We arrived at the hotel at 10:30am, checked in, unloaded the Porsche and headed for Tire Rack for tech inspection. What a joy to drive the GT3 after so many miles in the truck. We got registered, had the tires branded and started putting the stickers on. The stickers took about two hours in the blazing 90 degree heat. But we got it done and I think it looks great. Didn't expect to get sunburned in Indiana.

There are some really nice cars and some very competent looking drivers here. Gulp. Matt Farah the famous auto program host is racing an X5M from BMW (see picture below). We were parked right next to him earlier today.

Tomorrow is a wet skid pad, a 1/4 miles oval and a proper race circuit, followed by 450 miles overnight to the next place. We should get there about 1 or 2 am.
