Stage Two Temple to Ardmore

The morning started early. Darrin and Sam got off to the hotel that host's the start of the race.  Paul, Lisa and I loaded up the truck and headed to the store and bought some items we need.

Big Red got stickered in San Marcos, TX at the lunch stop

Nacona put on a big show for the weekend.  The historic area was beautiful. 

The Big Daddy Saloon pput on a big spread for us. The old bar was decked out like Deadwood. You felt like you stepped back in time. The town even had glasses made made to give us that commemorated the event.

We toured the Horton Museum. This nice Corvette collection was accompanied by a nice collection of 50s and musel cars.

In the car museum They had a map of where people came from.  We added one for Mobile.

I love an old fashion soda fountain.  This one was done well.  

It was cool to see all the things that the town had put together.

The town did things nicely.  I love these street signs at every stop

The amount of food that was displayed for us was amazing.

The boys got a ACE on there first day! 

Day 2 of the Great Race kicked off with intense sunshine, as we motored north of Waco before peeling off the interstate and starting the timed portion of the route. Early on, the route sent the teams into a loop, and then continued on toward Granbury, Texas. We received a warm welcome at the historic courthouse square, ate a quick lunch and jumped back on the road to get the afternoon route started. We passed so many beautiful farms and ranches, and the rolling hills provided a nice view of the landscape. As the day of rallying came to an end, we started seeing people pulled off the side of the road, and sitting in their front yards to watch the cars roll in. The smiling faces and friendly waves let us know what to expect at our dinner stop in Nocona, Texas, a small town that is the Classic Car Capital of Texas! With so many enthusiasts around the area, we were surrounded by car guys and gals, and we had the opportunity to check out the Horton Classic Car Museum. 

Getting their scores at the finish line.

After the day of rallying it is time to relax and talk about the day and the car
