We have been following the Great Race too. In CT right now and will be in The Villages to see them when they arrive.

If you have Facebook, they have a Facebook page and you can follow them with their posts. They have a video of President George H.W. Bush seeing them off in Maine.

Don't have a link, but if you have Facebook, do a search for "Great Race" and when you see the page, click "like" and it will be on your news feed.

They give daily updates on where they are stopping for lunch and where they are doing overnight stays.

My facebook skills are minimal at best. I think I have it but I will know when I see a response on my News feed.

Cisco Kid and ZCaveman and everyone else that wants to keep up with their progress, also go on Facebook and "like" Hemmings Motor News FB page. They are also posting lots of updates.
