Last night, I landed in Milwaukee at about half past seven, and I drove through the downtown core before heading north to my hotel near Road America. I was actually looking to get some shots of the Harley-Davidson museum, but even thought I followed all the signs—or thought I did, anyway—I must have missed it. I guess I’ll have to try to find Hog Heaven on my way to the airport on Sunday. I also neglected to print directions to my hotel—a symptom of my mistaken belief that I can always navigate perfectly, regardless of how unfamiliar I am with a given area—so I had only slightly better luck finding that. But after two wrong turns and about 35 unnecessary miles, I made it. Right now, I’m headed to the track to check in with the folks from the BP team. Stay tuned!

BMW announced that they are returning to American Le Mans Series racing at the Chicago Auto Show. They brought a race-prepped M3 with a 485 hp V8, which will be campaigned by Bobby Rahal and David Letterman in the 2009 season. More pics at Autoblog. And here’s the video of the unveil.
