The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.

The Great Race 100th Anniversary Tour Stopped in Geneva, Illinois

The Oct. 24th daily herald, serving Chicago's suburbs, had an article by Susan Sarkauskas about the centennial stop of the Graet race in Geneva. This was the commemoration of the American leg of the 22,000 mile race from New York to Paris and it came through town back then and now.

The great grandson of the winner spoke at the Concours d' Elegance auto show.

The 100th anniversary trip started October 16th in Vew York City and will end in San Francisco after a three-week drive. The final stop will be at the Ferry Building.

It will go world-wide next year because of visa problems with the Chinese government .

In 1908, this was put on to show that cars could be driven in severe weather.
