Congrats to the Grand Champion of the 2016 Great Race, the team of G.R. Pike and Bobby Hadskey in the 1916 Hudson Indy Racer.
This weekend wrapped things up with the Great Race 2016 with a grand finish in Moline, Illinois. Congratulations to the Grand Champions, G.R. Pike and Bobby Hadskey! Congrats to everyone who finished and to those who may not have been so lucky–it was a challenging course this year, with high elevations, extreme heat, mountain roads and lots of turns and curves that put a lot of stress on these vintage vehicles. Whether your car actually rolled over the finish line or not–our own Stars and Stripes didn’t make it–there’s always next year. We are thankful for all the support and help our Spirit of Stahls teams received from those along the way and those back at home. We couldn’t have done it without you. Thanks for following along and we will be sharing a few more pictures this week. We look forward to getting the cars back home and after a short break, getting ready for next year!
It’s always a big celebration at the finish.
Mary and I finished the day with 3 aces, thanks to a little help from Trevor.
Granddaughter Emmalyn is also a future navigator.
Brett and Danny also ended the day with three aces!
See you next year!
At our lunch stop in Mason City, Iowa there was a custom printing shop.
