Lex and I grabbing a beer, waiting for the WeatherTech girls to finish their shift. They wanted a tour of the sights around Sheboygan and wanted to taste the local Johnsonville Brats. Who were we to say no??

They also had a race!
Porsche Platz at Corner 1, Hospitality Tent at Corner 5 infield!
I took Volvo XC70, waived my PCA armband at infield controller and parked near Hospitality Tent.
PCA had a shuttle bus but the driver was quite insane, only way to described him. We used the Tent to rest after each excursion, new walk way down to and around Canada Corner! Great vantage points.
Brats are not charcoal grilled as they used to be decades ago!
All in all probably THE best weather I have seen in decades of attending RA.-Richard
Can't get video to load!

According to Mr. Lex, the girlies preferred .... They said, always better in the Midwest.

What happens in Sheboygan, stays in Sheboygan. They needed to see our beautiful moonlit Lake Michigan shoreline while sampling the local flavor.
