What is it that they sat about best laid plans of mice and men.... they oft go awry?

So yeah...it looks like now the car needs a small bit of work done and the best place for that is in Tallahassee Florida. It will either be placed on a racing transporter out of Lime Rock on Monday, or it will be driven down by Jordan from Connecticut to Florida.

Once in Florida, some work will be done to the car to make sure it is reliable and making good power. Then I will fly into Tallahassee and pick it up. How I get back to San Diego, I have no idea yet.

This means no trip to Watkins Glen.
This means no breakfast with LOONYs
Detroit is still possible, if I fly in. Not sure if I will.
No trip to Chicago. No Autobahn.
No trip to 1G Racing in Cincinnati.
Deals Gap and Tail of the Dragon are being considered.
No Route 66 probably.

Positive is I might stop in New Orleans, Houston, El Paso, Phoenix..and take I-10 the whole trip, which would take less time. Or not.

I need to work out a new plan.
