Schweinchen Half Rack™ Route
Driving The Schweinefiletring™ during The Tire Squeal is a daunting feat that is a full day event for many participants. We want everyone to enjoy the great roads in Indiana, so we created a new route called The Schweinchen Half Rack™ (translation: Little Pig)
Drive the published route (either direction) ANYTIME during June 1 - August 31, 2026. It’s a loop route so you can start anywhere on the route.
It's half the length of the full route and only has 5 POI's. The drive isn't as long and the prizes aren't as big, but you will still squeal with delight at the driving experience! The POI's are shared with the big ring and will use the same numbering system!
As always, check for detours and delays before the day of your drive. Google Maps typically shows construction.
Also, visit https://511in.org/@-87.95105,40.03112,7?show=construction,flooding and look at the route for problems.
Being a long event we will not update the route unless there are long term major closures.

Why? Nice car in the foreground. Friendly guy behind the wheel. More importantly, clearly shows the POI. Points Awarded.

Why? This is a pretty good picture of a turtle. However, we can’t easily tell if the turtle is chilling at Bean Blossom Overlook, Sgt. Ricks, or in Phil’s backyard. No Points Awarded.
