Newton, IA, Iowa Speedway

Sunday June 6
Springfield, IL, Downtown Springfield

Yep I'll be in the booth as well. We're chilling in Des Moines right now. Will pull into Newton tomorrow little before noon to start cleaning the cars. See you guys at each stop!

p.s. It's sickening for a TVS2300 Z06 to be pulling 33mpg on the highway!!! 566rwhp never had it so good!

Tony, I saw your guy's cars at the Nitto stand and they looked great! Didn't see any of you guys standing around. Seemed to be a pretty good turn out today. Are you guys leaving from anywhere in particular tomorrow? I would really like to tag along in the morning if you guys are going as a group.

We're at the holiday inn express. Not sure where it's at exactly. We're rolling out around 8am. Be probably 5-6 cars I believe, couple first gens, Z06 and the 5th gen atleast.
