Generally, and the Queen can tell a slightly different story, the cops in BG are pretty cool. For the first 5 years of the Fest we had the cops called on us at one point or another, for various things, it was sort of a badge of honor.

That streak broken last year, when there were no incidents warranting the police. No one has ever been arrested, although it was close a couple of times.

Generally folks keep it relatively mild around BG, the occasional quick run to the NCM on I-65, but nothing outrageous. Of course I say that and last year on the way back from MM we got into it with a small import and we ended up letting off pretty close to top end.

The first part of the trip is 60 miles or so up I-65, which we will do at between 70-80, I am not looking to draw too much attention out there. Once we get off the highway, there are spots in pretty desolate areas where we can open it up quite a bit and have some fun, but as soon as we hit any of the four little towns we go through on the way to the distillery, we take it down to the speed limit. The last thing I want is to have anyone get hurt.

Everyone that goes on the tour will also have a set of directions with them so that if they feel uncomfortable with the speed we are driving they can take it down to where they are comfortable and meet us at the distillery.
