As enough people asked I am lead to believe some of you give a sh*t  Smiley
After a final round of good byes I left the track at 12 noon on Sunday It was 28 C and sunny.
Hwy 27 North was steady all the way to I 4. The drive through Orlando was better than usual and a detour into Daytona was probably not smart but it was nice to see the remains of Bike Week and a few bikinis to make the traffic jam worth suffering. The coast road up to St Augustine is a favourite of mine but was also slow with a few bikinis  Grin or was that bikes? and lovely seascapes even if I could not stop.
Once back on I 95 it was hammer down and get on with the drive home. Once into Georgia it was dark and time for dinner before it became too late on a Sunday. Fuel stops have become a bit of a challenge as many pumps now require a Zip code matched to the card before they will work. Canada has postal codes using letters so not recognized by the machine. I always push to get past Charlotte NC in both directions as it is a major traffic snarl up for hours either side. I pressed on into the night eventually stopping at 3:30am in Summersville WV as a thunderstorm was just getting started. Managed 4 hours of sleep interupted by a downpour that made me feel i was in a drum under Niagara Falls. as i was warm and dry i went back to sleep. Roll Eyes Off  before 8am with a full tank of gas and a coffee. breakfast in Morgantown  with another tank of gas. traffic was pretty light though quite a lot of construction in PA.. Big crash on the highway near my house so had to make a detour which confused the GPS lady until I turned her off  Grin Home at 5:00pm 
That is 2320KM in less than 24 driving hours.
Endurance Drinking followed by Endurance Spectating with Endurance driving too. Those racrers don't know how lucky they are Cheesy Grin Grin
Temp ar home under sunny blue skies......26 C. The Polar Bears are doomed  Sad

Well I haven't really landed yet. Despite the plane touching down early yesterday morning.

JPC is in serious trouble for not persuading me to go sooner.  Evil Evil Evil Evil

A big thank you to all those who help me have such a fantastic time.

Hi Xander,
             Nice pictures and write up of the race. I am not sure about those 3D though. Sorry I did not stop to chat longer. If I had realised that was our only meeting I would have found a Guinness for you. Mine were back at camp cooling off Grin
One must enjoy driving to make such long journeys enjoyable.
