Breaking News in Effingham.  I just found out that the cars and drivers of the historic World Race 2011, from New York to Paris will be stopping by the MYGarage Museum on April 19th at around 11:30 AM for a lunch stop.  This race has participants that are of special interest to Mid America Motorworks:

Price Team Racing will make history with their mulit-fueled Chevrolet Corvette - able to run on 6 different fuels - proving that the automobile can travel around the world as our predecessor's proved in the original Great Race of 1908.

Ed and Janet Howle of Hillsborough, NC will be driving a 1967 VW Beetle Sedan, Stewball, on this journey as the race travels 23,500 miles through 12 different countries!
