VIRDEN, Ill.–Rocketing past corn fields in the middle of Illinois is a machine that has to be seen to be believed. Take a look at part 1 of our report on our visit with Illuminati Motor Works, Virden, Ill.

I knew Kevin was gonna punch Seven on that service road but he’s got 200 horses and torque out the wazoo and I’ve only 92 horses. Nothing I could do to keep up. I’m sure he’s got top end on me too with that slick fit thru the air and the power available.

Mark, I was a little taken a back for a second when I saw you blowing up alongside (I didn’t know it was you at first)… I thought “why’s he letting that Honda show us up??”

Great meeting you, my friend, and thanks for tipping me off to this merry band!

Hope you had fun, Brian. I’m a bit jealous of your future adventures driving the GM Chevy Volt around the country. Good luck, and hope you don’t need it.

Neat but the sign on the longitude is wrong for Illinois…. Or are you somewhere else?
