Road America, Tudor Sports Cars, 2015

The Continental Tire Road Race Showcase, August 9.  We always love going to Road America.  The track is beautiful and the views are good.  Of course, we always have to go a day early for the fish fry at the elegant dining establishment, the Harborside in Manitowoc, Wisconsin.  As one person described it, the "once elegant" Harborside.  But the beer's cold and the fish is fantastic.

It was a good day for Bib (but then he's always smiling):


And a bad day for this dude, who seemed to be having a used parts sale:


Autograph session is always fun, for the fans, anyway.  Here's Fisichella and Kaffer...


...the Taylor lads, Jordan and Ricky...


...and some relatives of Darth Vader?


Green! Green! Green!


And they're off!  Disclaimer:  this is one of the support races.


No trip to Road America is complete, of course, without a stop at the Pleasant Prairie Outlet Mall on the way home.  A great opportunity to stock up on outdated Goldfish from the Pepperidge Farm outlet and fuzzy chocolate from Ghirardelli as well as an assortment of underwear from Jockey and miscellaneous winter garb.  Can't wait for next year!  We've already got our hotel reservations!
