Hey randy.
I know you havent met me or anything. But since you mentioned stopping in or around the louisville area i figured i would offer up some room and board if you liked. Difference is i live in hamilton, OH which is about 2hrs past lousiville. I work tuesday BUT hamilton is the home of the NOBLE> As im sure you already know of superformance(1gracing). The guys who build them. Im sure it would be a fun for you to visit their shop for the day. (20 minutes from my house.) Then for the afternoon/night you would be more than welcome to just come back to the house for a few beers and a spare bedroom to crash in. 1G Racing Media Center Just throwing that out there.

This sounds like fun. I'm going to see if I can borrow a GT-R and drive over to the Dragon on June 16th.
Regarding your route after the Dragon, I think there are a few Elisetalkers in Nashville if you want to go through Nashville instead of Louisville. I'd even buy you dinner at the famous Loveless Diner. |

But note, clowns scare me. Creep me out. Specially that one. "Can't sleep, clowns might eat me." "they all float" Highlights of my earlier Elise roadtrip was staying with forum people I did not know. Really, I got to meet some great people which I recall is far more memorable than another Days Inn.

The Superspeedway course is close to I-40 and is on the East side of Nashville so that should help with your schedule.

I hate clowns too. "IT" scared the **** out of me when i was younger. So we have something in common. Seeing that clown threw the sewer cover made me look twice everytime i passed one on my bike. The avatar is kind of like reverse pschy.  I just built a house too big for just the wife and I. So if need be "we'll leave the light on for ya" Let me know. I promise im not a stalker.

you may want to drive 1.5 hours past louisville and stay near the corvette factory. they have a great tour. i really enjoyed it.
edit.....that would be on the south bound trip. you could also hit it on the way north to ohio. if you stop for lunch or dinner in chattanooga, Lookout Mountain is right there. my nephew, ,Nick owns the Lookout Mountain cafe right on the mountain. good food and nick isa car nut. the mountain is really cool. been there a few times.

Unfortunately, I have to pick and choose what makes sense to stop at. The trip has already grown to something out of control
 and now I am stopping in Tennessee for an autocross, doing Tail of the Dragon in North Carolina, heading back up to Ohio to 1G Racing, then over to Chicago before I even start heading back along Route 66.Trip starts on June 5th. Ends I hope by June 22nd. If I could, I would take the slow back roads everywhere, but the schedule does not permit it. For example, I need to leave Detroit by 6:00pm and get as close to Tennessee as I can that night. I have to leave Deals Gap and get all the way to Ohio early enough to go the 1GRacing place. I might be able to make a lunch in Chicago from Ohio. I think.

Hey Chris. I will be coming through Indy it seems, just not sure exactly when. Do they serve lunch at St Elmos? I could go for a shrimp cocktail.
