I have a year supply of good beer in the fridge, and a semi that fits 3 cars out back of the shop.....

Unfortunately it looks like it's going to be an expensive week in cheater mods for me, full RSS time, and may have to see about fabbing up some custom headers.....

My trailer fits 2 cars, but it is a good 40-44 hours of non stop driving if you only stop for diesel every 1000 miles.. I've done it, but I'm not sure if I can do it again.

Plus 750 Gallon of Diesel just to go west and back.

OK, seems doable.

750 x 3.9 = 2925 just in fuel, plus wear and tear plus your time.

No thank you... ship the car, fly over, drive, drink and back.
Sounds a lot more fun.

Yeah, I hear you, but we go track to track to track to track to track track to track to track to track to track track to track to track to track to track track to track to track to track to track track to track to track to track to track track to track to track to track to track on the way there and back.

Roughly I 10 and I 20 going West and I 40 and I 70 back, depending on where and when the track events are. I figure we keep flying back and forth to our own truck. I dunno, it's going to take a lot of logistics and puzzling to make it happen, but i'd like to do more then just a few California tracks.

I'll drive. I doubt the truck can handle 18000 curb impacts

Don't give my trailer spot up

Ship cars is not an option, need tools and supplies
