Is this one lap's way of saying I need to do it this year? There are 2 tracks that I can sleep in my own bed on the route. I drive I-29 and hastings most months.
One is my home track and I’ve driven another 2. I’d like to go but reality is I don’t have the time. I’ll be at High Plains tho if anyone needs me to bring anything.
I “grew up” at Road America and Blackhawk Farms. Nice variety of size and speed, sounds like a very good tour.
Blackhawk has new black top

That's one long transit. Better have good music and a well caffeinated beverage.

We've done that run before, in both directions. It's gorgeous once you get off the interstate and onto the US hwy across WI. Super green farmland with rolling hills, red barns, white fences and all of that.
And it won't really take 10 hours... ;)
