    The Great Race ends in Greenville, SC on Sunday 6/27/21 which is where we live. Just wondering in any HAMBers have entered and will be in Greenville?
    Thanks and good luck.

    It's stopping in Mooresville tonight. The wife and I will go for sure and there is a car show from 1200 to 1600 probably do that too. My boss it doing the whole ride next year with a customer that has a car he restored a few years ago.

  5. They had lunch in Huntington, WV yesterday (6/25/21). Several on my buds and I were there to greet them and cheer them on as they headed to Beckley, WV for their overnight stay. Some great folks on the trip this year with some really interesting cars.

    It was in Lexington Thursday night, a lot of nice cars. Mother and daughter in the Mustang from Seattle was pretty cool, watching the daughter fight manual steering while parking was fun.

    So others can see.....................

    The 2021 Hemmings Motor News Great Race presented by Hagerty Drivers Club is in the books! We saw record crowds at our hosted city stops, we saw a rookie team take the top daily score, and today, Sunday, June 27th HISTORY was made! For the first time ever, an all-female team WON the Great Race! Olivia Gentry and her sister Genna put together an incredible nine-day effort to take home the victory and $50,000! Olivia drove her heart out, while Genna managed the calculations to keep them on target. This exceptional team work was executed behind the wheel of a 1932 Ford five-window coupe, which utilizes a 21-stud Flathead V8, three-speed manual transmission and, of course, whitewall tires from Coker Tire! Emotions were at an all-time high during the finish line presentation, and the crowd erupted when the Gentry girls were announced as the Grand Champions! Their score of 41.31 seconds is astonishing, and the young women took the victory by nearly nine seconds over their mother, Beth Gentry, who placed second with her nephew Jody Knowles. Congratulations to all of the winners in each division.
