If you come thru Indianapolis Indiana be sure and contact me I will take you to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway plus some other personal car collections. We can even do a lap around the 500 track. I have guys from Austria here about 5 years ago and then two years later I went to Austria for about 3 weeks and they came back last year for the Caravan to the NCM. You can contact me by e-mail. Mikes54vet@aol.com Ood luck on your trip and enjoy the United States.

I'm sure that I am late to the party with this info, but Finland may (probably?) have the best drivers on the planet, whereas the USA has to have a driver quality somewhere between Uruguay and India. In other words, just awful drivers here. Sorry, but it will likely **** you off.

New engine is total mystery, i build it for 200 mph, but no test because
there was no time left.
Texas mile will tell the answer.

I am not asking for secrets of your build, but if your new engine is a very high compression engine (12, 13, 15:1) then you might want to do a pre-trip check of VP race gas stations across the US to ensure that you will have gasoline with sufficient octane level to prevent damage to your engine while you are on your trans-US trip.

And the secrets of the engine, i meant that it is mystery to me also.
I have no idea of the power, this time we go like blind, but it gives extra
excitement also.
Some extra also, the car is not ready yet and the ship is leaving in after
6 days.
My schedule at the moment: about early September car will be on Baltimore and we be there on 31 of August.
First is Hod Rod Drag week September 13 - September 19
then Optima challenge on Auto Club Speedway Fontana CA October 10-11
and Texas mile Beeville TX October 23-25

If you come thru El Paso or close to it let me know please. Are you going RT 66?
Maybe I can meet up with you in New Mexico.
Have a safe trip.
Cheers, Bill
