The season is now over.
Winter mods and next summer's trips planning are running at 110%
Next summer I'm planning a Lake Michigan 1000, that's 1000mi in 24 hours or less around Lake Michigan. Anybody who thinks that they can do it and want to join feel free to post on this thread.
My starting point will be Des Plains Oasis on I-90 near Chicago IL.
The stops mentioned in the bellow link are planned fuel/tracking/rest stops.
1. 141mi ~= 2:12 h - planned stop will be near Madison WI.
2. 170mi ~= 2:51 h - planned stop will be near Tomahawk WI.
3. 20mi ~= 0:32 h - planned turning point proof will be near Rhinelander WI.
4. 137mi ~= 3:36 h - planned stop will be near Escanaba MI.
5. 140mi ~= 3:32 h - planned stop will be near St. Ignace MI.

8. 140mi ~= 2:12 h - planned stop will be near Gary IN.
9. 52mi ~= 1:10 h - planned Finish point at the same Des Plaines Oasis on I-90 near Chicago IL
Total planned trip miles 1051, about 19 hours 59 mins.
I used Google maps to plan this trip: from:I-90 E to:US-51 S to:E Somo Ave to:Unknown road to:Ludington St to:US-2 E to:W Lake City Rd to:Chicago Dr/MI-121 W to:Grant St to:42.014994,-87.925987 - Google Maps
Here is the safer/less scenic/more boring/more interstate miles/faster route that I'm contemplating:
from:I-90 E to:Ludington St to:US-2 E to:41.836828,-83.671875 to:Grant St to:I-90 W - Google Maps
