After three solid days of driving East on I-90, I was within minutes of Road America. Then I turned south for another 2 1/2 hour drive to my buddies house in the Chicago suburbs.
We were college roommates in the early 90s, and used to spend long hours talking cars. He is a big Alfisti as well, and I think my visit there to RA five years ago inspired him to start racing, too. So for the last for five years, he's also been racing a Spider. A pretty fast 1978. He's done well with it, too. Having won the Kimberly Cup at this particular race a couple years ago. I missed that race five years ago when I burned up the head after losing coolant on that Sunday morning practice session.
Anyway, after the long trip, I decompressed at his house, then the next day we both caravaned back up north to the track. Here we are in the paddocks at Road America at the infield of Turn 14 just before the main street, pitted next to each other. Could not have imagined this happening over 25 years ago when we were just car-crazy college students.
