    Road America is the mecca of American road racing. If you have never camped out and spent a race weekend at Road America, you are truly missing out on one of the greatest motor sports experiences in the world.

    No trophy, no flowers, no flashbulbs, no wine.
    He's haunted by something he cannot define.
    The arena is empty except for one man,
    Still driving and striving as fast as he can.
    The sun has gone down and the moon has come up,
    And long ago somebody left with the cup.
    But he's driving and striving and hugging the turns,
    And thinking of someone for whom he still burns.
    He's going the distance, He's going for speed! 🏁🏆🍾 🤜💥🤛

    I was born and raised about 20 minutes from Road America. The grandstands at corner 1 are my favorite to watch the start of a race. The cars crest the hill and you always get a great smell of brakes. Wonderful track. Bonus the serve sandwiches on Sheboygan style hard rolls. THE BEST bun for a burger or double brat.

    We bought a commercial gravely 272z back in 2003 . It has maintained the 10+ acres of grass around the barn yard for the last 20 years. We finally got another mower and retired it to my 2 acre yard. It's still going strong. I had to put another 27hp kawasaki engine on it last year but that has nothing to do with the gravely part of the mower. I highly recommend gravely if you're in the market.

      @@nikkrueger5734 Before I retired I’d leave for work at 4:30am so I had a plow service. That’s a mixed blessing because while they were timely and efficient it chipped my concrete driveway. After I retired I made do for a couple years with an old hand me down 5hp Craftsman blower. Clogged and stalled until I couldn’t take it anymore. There was no question I was buying a new Ariens! Thing is fantastic. Last couple winters NE Ohio hasn’t had anywhere near the snow we used to get. Bummer.
