But it’s only 5.5 miles which divided by 15 feet is only 1936 cars end to end. There are 4,000 registered. Plus spectators. It’s gonna be a R66 Capital Parking Line. lol. Especially once people start breaking down, over heating, running out of gas, etc. Like I said, we wouldn’t miss it for the world.
