Logistics?

by Ric Albertus

Every year One Lap Of America Brock Yates Jr. puts together a hand made route book which includes turn by turn instructions from every race track to the next. During the driver's meeting at the beginning of the event he likes to point out that while the log book is a product of many months of hard work, it will certainly include some errors. Mind you, he's not quite sure where those errors will be - so if you find one, it's your responsibility to correct it. 

In past years we've learned that's it best to reference his log book and compare it to our GPS and follow his route until the log book and GPS are working together in harmony. Sometimes this works, but sometimes it causes more confusion than is necessary. This year we are not sure if we trust the log book more or the GPS. Unlike years in the past, our GPS seems to make more mistakes than Brock has ever made. So we've started to learn that Brock's brain may be a superior GPS. While this might be hard to believe, he has probably tracked more miles than Garmin. So we're starting to go back in time and read maps and read turn by turn directions provided by Brock.....sometimes technology doesn't reign supreme.
