Landing in LincolnWhen our band of travelers arrived in Lincoln, the city was waiting, and the Mid-Americruise car show was already going full-tilt at State Fair Park. For the next three days we enjoyed the Sonic poker run, numerous T.O. Haas Tire tech seminars, the Marshall engine-building competition, the Miss Mid-Americruise contest, an ice cream social and museum tour at Speedway Motors, and being part of hundreds of participants cruising the fairgrounds by day and the streets of Lincoln by night. Fun for sure, but like we said at the beginning: Americruise is about the road trip, and the road trip is about going. Our best memories from Mid-Americruise are of the people who became brand-new old friends out on the road, and the rods and customs they drove along the way.
Six weeks after getting home from Mid-Americruise we hit the road again with Americruise East, running from Texas to Pennsylvania. We'll tell you that story in next month's R&C.
