Some last bits

As we start our journey home some last thoughts.

As Rand indicated our orignal goal was just to finish. Tough to compete with the big Bentleys and as the English call them the American Hot rods.

In the end old 12 did A great job and did compete. She loved the gravel and rough roads which in the end gave us the edge.
A big thanks to Tony and Bill for the help on the car.

There are lots of things to say about a race like this. Many are hard to describe and suffice it to say hou had to be there..

I come back to a quote from the P to P race.
“The emotions – there are so many highs and lows in a day even hour to hour”
It truely represents this race.

In the end it was a great trip with a great friend.

While Rand considers driving the easy part i consider it just as challenging as the right seat and some ways worse.

Hundreds of miles of gravel driving. – let alone the speed sections.
He really did well on those race sections – made the difference in our number 9 finish. We matched the best and beat many of them.

So with that i say thanks for following us and the many words of encouragement from so many.
I will leave you with this picture of the challenges of driving

Rand’s blister. Disregard the beer bottle the blister was from the driving
