Stage Six Owensboro to Lexington

The boys are 70 out today so start time is around 9 am.  They left for the host hotel and we went for parts. 
Super cool bridges in Kentucky
 We chose to head over to Lexington pretty quickly and do some sight seeing. Paul and I went to see the castle.  It is a hotel and you could only get in with reservations.  
So we went to a horse farm. 
We met with Paul's friends Ron an Charlotte.  We toured to farm and saw the work horses and the champion barn. This was the home off the retired race horses. 
I left Paul to go back to watch the cars come in.  I hung out with the WTF guys as we waited.  One car after another would arrive a drive up on the grass to park. Looked like an old fashion car show.
When Darrin and Sam arrived theybparket in the parking lot as they were told.  They had some impressive scores today They would have had a better day but they turned around and knew they did the wrong thing. That cost them a 39 second leg.

Day 6 of the Great Race kicked off in Owensboro, Kentucky and it was a day PACKED full of rally maneuvers. Today was less about covering a bunch of ground, and more about putting those teams to work! We crossed over into the Eastern Time Zone today, so that made for a short morning, before we rolled into the lunch stop in Elizabethtown, Kentucky. From there, we zipped over to Bardstown for a pit stop at My Old Kentucky Home State Park. We enjoyed a few minutes of hanging out under the shade trees before getting back into an action-packed afternoon route. Hills, hard turns and TONS of speed changes wrapped up the day’s rally, before rolling into a great evening stop at the Griffin Gate Marriott hotel in Lexington, Kentucky. The beautiful lawn offered a great parking area for the cars, and once again, we enjoyed a nice crowd. 


The venue this time was held at the hotel. They had food trucks for dinner. The mexican was very tasty. 
We called it an early night
