We stayed just over the river in Ohio, wife has connections with a hotel chain for some serious discounts. We took advantage of the combo package and I got an additional Veteran's discount.

My favorite parts of the ark were how they had a ramp between the levels which would have to be a given, how they had a giant door to the outside with a ramp going up to it. Also, they have a scale model that's a must see. The clever automatic food and water dispensers and last but not least, pay particular attention to the entrance where they have a cutaway of the clever design of the hull.

X5 made it to Florida no problem. AC was struggling just a bit at 95F to keep up. I see a AC service coming soon.

Got to the Florida state line on I95 and had to go through the welcome center for COVID-19 screening. Really not a lot to it but everyone has to go through. They asked us where we were coming from and waved us through when we told them we were from North Carolina. I should have taken a video but was a little nervous about the process.

Are you a taking X to WI? I have the gear for AC if you think it'll last. Also: laws of physics make colder air on lower speed so often you'll be more comfortable at a higher temp setting that the machine can keep up with.

Indeed we are bringing the X to Wisconsin. Not sure how much time I will have once we get to Road America but I might take you up on that. The AC blows really cold up to 90F ambient temperatures but then just a little lazy over those temps. Something is just not right. :dunno:

Does It fare better with recirculation air?

Couple of pics of our Norma M30 LMP3 project this week. Has to be the smallest rear sway bar ever.

And a couple shots of our lifts. Racing today in less than 2 hours. :thumbup:

Finished 2nd today. Not quite enough for the win but a great day for points in the 2020 IMSA LMP3 Championship. The 2020 leader in points crashed and DNF with 0 points.

Happy team owner and driver :thumbup:

Nice driving OB! It was almost like someone was looking out for you - you may not have landed #1, but with the PL pulling down a dnf... well, you got to sneak up on him some [emoji16][emoji106][emoji106]

Thanks PF but I'm not the driver, just the Sparky. I run the electronic data and video systems in the car. But you are right, at the end of the day, we gained some points toward the 2020 Championship. A good day indeed. :thumbup:
