I rode the truck across the US because ..well I just wanted to see the US. If you've never done that, I'd highly recomend it. These are just some of the pics from the trip and Long Beach GP.


We left Pennsylvania, went through the Shenandoah Valley to Tennessee, then I40 across to California.

Truck stops are surreal at night, this was one of 4 truck stops on the cloverleaf that handled more than 300 trucks, that would be 1200 trucks within a square mile and it happens all across the US. This country runs on diesel.

The Long Beach exposition
This car was totally hammered out of aluminum and was powered by an LS Chevy with old school injectors, it was beautiful, so was this Porsche (and I hate Porsche)

Very cool. How was the party at the beach? It's been a while since I've been to the LBGP. From watching the race on TV it looks like the weather was perfect.

Weather was awesome. sunny and cool, we left Long Beach Sunday night right after the races and headed to Barber where we had to be at 10am Wednesday. Instead of taking the transporter to the auditorium, we towed the Porsche through the streets to the transporter..a great move as it turned out.

Some say he has a tattoo of his face on his face.
I did this 2 years ago but on I-10, so not as scenic. In October, I'll be doing it again but likely via I-40 mainly, at least halfway.
 
How long did your cross country trip take?

My Bucket list is to travel the US following the NASCAR circuit from FL to NH to CA and all stops in between.

(Oh Yeah, Calif Boss302 is a closeted NASCAR Fan!)
