03/31/2016 Louisville - Springfield IL (USA)

In pouring rain (just as the weather forecast has announced yesterday) we started this morning from Louisville on the Interstate 65 towards Indianapolis. Fortunately  the rain stopped  shortly before our arrival  and so we could place  our Deloreans  in front of the Speedway Indianapolis.

We went on  towards Springfield/Illinois, at half of the way, we ran into a heavy thunderstorm with cloudburst and hail, the visibility dropped to zero, so  we had to stop under a bridge for safety reasons. After a few minutes the nightmare was over and even the sun shines again.

In Springfield we met Rich Weissensel and Bill Schafer, both are Deloreanowner which are known with Klaus for many years. Rich is well known for his outlandish Delorean creations, he build the D-rex , the Delorean-limo and a Delo-convertible.

Near by there an  with old bricks original restored  part of the classic Route 66, which is drivable as an part of a public road.

After check in at the hotel 'President Abraham Lincoln' we had dinner with all involved persons and later we had 'petrol talks' in the hotel bar. Rich and Bill will be with us tomorrow on the way to Crystal Lake / Chicago.
