Well, kindof a dumb question, but it is only a 2400 mile drive for me (!!!) and I was wondering how everyone is planning on getting there? If you are tracking your R, are you gonna drive it too? If not, are you using a trailer, or shipping it some other way? Or are you gonna wuss out and fly instead?

Reason I ask is that I don't know how the hell I'm going to get my car out there safely, and back, without blowing a ton of money on renting a suitable tow vehicle.
(might end up just renting some POS and driving it out there to spectate instead... use the money to hit some east coast tracks next year)

I don't really want to put 5000 miles on the R if I don't have to

Well, anyway - looking forward to the Expo whether I'm driving or not - it's gonna ROCK

 

as of now,looks like my **** is driving the R there and back

and not to mention i'm doing it SOLO too..

 

George - you lucky dog
Nick
(who needs to become friends with someone with a truck and trailer REAL soon... )

 

Dustin is lending me the HT Jet

 

(right click /save as) That pic is sweeet!
Got a seat on there for me?

 

How many East Coast R's are going?I wouldn't mine going but I don't know how I would get there.

 

too early for me to know if im going yet.

 

dunno - I'd like to organize a caravan of somekind - I'm gonna try to throw a crappy webpage together or something soon...

 

Flying to VEGAS, then renting a car and driving to AZ.

 

I might consider going if some more east coast people are going.We could crusie together or something.

 

(that is one of my options Cosworth)

Although I think that a road trip that far would be KICKASS - just not in the R...

 

I thought about driving my R there from OH

 

I think I'll take the ride if it's with a bunch of people in one big CW, NBP and PY caravan .

That's a long ride alone!

Hell yea! Or, rent a Hummer and go 4 wheeling.

 

(wondering how much an S2K is per day )

 

At SLOPI, Sean said he'd buy me plane ticket to Vegas, then we'd rent a car

Hopefully I can find the vacation time and a we-todd in need of a copilot to make my third consecutive exblo.

Not too much actually. They limit it to 100miles per day for free, but that's nothing a phillips head screwdriver wouldn't fix.. it'd suck not having a working gauge cluster tho.. no flashing 9000rpm goodness lol

Get RealtoR or AssNickel. And, we can shoot our own Hummer commercial... cutting across the track and rolling an R to the finish line.

That's tiZZite! I bet it costs more to fill up the tank than to rent it. haha.

 

oh man - I would love to rock the Caddy - that would be so sweet.

Alas - my budget dictates that I will probably be rolling in a lowly focus
(I will be sure to slap some Type R stickers on it though )
