As the other guys have said, probably a wise decision.
We need to get you a Mustang T Shirt.

For the Mid-Ohio route I found one that is about 3 miles off the highway on the East side of Cleveland. Here's a link to their menu.

Chime in here or wait until Thursday to weigh in on whether this interests you or whether you just want to stop for fast food along the highway.

Great Idea Pete. I will go with the flow.

You'll get plenty of time behind the wheel. Looking forward to a special weekend with the posse.

The diner sounds great to me. There will be plenty of time to have some cold diet pepsi (or adult pops )when we get there. The diner will only add a 1/2hr to the drive. It will be a great opportunity to cool down the cars.

See everyone Thursday morn.

I just peeped the menu, looks like plenty of quick lunch-type sandwiches and stuff, I'm good to go there.

That is the right decision, no sense to risk it. Next year for you and I both!

Hey Mark. Why do you want us to pre-order? Is the store closed that early? Just wondering. I am looking forward to some eats at Timmies.

Don't forget the silver duct tape and stickers...
