Carrabba's Team Blythe Wins in Milwaukee Grand Prix!

Carrabba's Team Blythe was in Milwaukee, Wisconsin from August 8 - August 10. The team is happy to report a win! The city of Wisconsin opened up their arms for race teams and what a great city to visit. There was so much to do. Between the Miller Brewing tour and the Harley Museum there was barely time to race.

A very special thanks to the Hilton Garden Inn located just outside of the city. The service was great and the hospitality was out of this world. We did not get to see Paris or Nicki Hilton this time but there is always next year.

Thousands of fans came out to watch the race at Veteran's Park. The best viewing of all venues by far. Fans are within 50 yards of the boats racing at speeds of over 200 miles per hour.

Since there were no Carrabba's in the area, we had to settle for less at a local diner.
Maybe next year Johnny will have a restaurant in Wisconsin; we will keep our fingers crossed.
