has anyone talked to Mike (Migs) yet to see if he's made it back to Texas ok yet or Chris back up to Washington yet?

 

I messaged Migs yesterday at around 630pm CT and he replied he was already home.

I wonder if Chris is back yet tho.

 

weird, I've been trying to get ahold of Migs and haven't had any luck yet...

 

for safe trips

Thru internet or phone?
I messaged him thru the phone and he replied back very quickly.
If you contacted him thru internet, maybe he has not logged on yet?

 

I tried his cell, who knows, maybe he was busy. It's good he got back safe

Bwhahahah! I still have the pink duct tape he picked up too would have been perfect with Skelly's wheels

 

I heart KY

 

This is Chris from Washington checkin in, we made it home about 7pm tonight.

3 8-10hr days drivin home was long, left knee has very bad sunburn lol.

I am going to make a post with pic's here in a bit.

Thanks for thinkin of us, we made it home safe

 

Chris I know I'm always wishing for cruise w/ trips in the R, I can't imagine how much you were wishing for it

 

Damn, and I thought ~2100 miles round trip was bad

At least the Turbo Pig had cruise

Chris, glad to hear that you are home safe.

 

Ya trust me I was wishing I had cruise control, had leg cramps every 3-4hrs, we would stop and stretch and walk around.

The trooper is back!

Nice meeting you... glad the car worked out OK!!

 

Glad to hear you and your wife made it back safely. I enjoyed talking to you both at dinner before I left. It was seriously the one thing that kept me awake because I was worn out at the time, haha.

Thanks for making the trip again. That's what really makes these events.

 

Glad to see you made it out, and then back safely. I also thought the trip from FL was long, damn you a traveling fool! All with good reason though. See joo fools next year.

 

migs replied last night to an IM of mine...

 

Great to see you made it back Chris!! I have nothing but respect for one of the longest haulers who had to deal with some of the most severe problems. Pulling the trans in the parking lot only to find out the pressure plate is toast and driving on it the entire way with the clutch fork ghetto-rigged is incredibly hardcore We had a great last run together and it was great to see you out there pushing it and having fun out there (and damn you're fast on Azenis! ). You were the first ITR I saw the day some of us Chicagoans were rolling out and probably the last one to make it home. I'm glad you got home safe and it was great meeting you and your wife and I look forward to seeing you at the next Expo!

I just got off the phone with Mike (Migs) as well and they made it home safe as well. 3-wheeling the trailor home because one of the bearings/hubs fell off is gangsta I was relieved to hear Brook and Mike made it back home safe too

 

yeah for sure Scott, Mike called me and told me the whole story with the gimpy trailor and the incodent with the dogs when he got home and was unpacking i have much much respect for the both of you and i'm very glad to be able to actually call you two friends now. you two are hard core

Chris i think a name change to Macgyve R

 

nice to see somebody from wa had the ***** to make the drive to expo6 are you the only one?

last year i told myself i was going to see expo 6 but things havent been going my way, maybe next year ill make it

and to safe returns home

 

Here is what happened to the trailer that I borrowed. FWIW, do not use utility trailers for long haulin, they just arent made for it. Or maybe my friend/or I should have repacked the bearings before the ~2500 mile trip

Glad there was no serious wipeout!

I always say that towing the race car to races is far more dangerous than the actual racing on the track itself....

Glad to hear that you 3-wheeled it home ok tho. I spent about $160 to have all the bearings repacked right before Expo. From what I heard, bearings on trailers go bad a lot quicker than the ones on cars.
