Driving. Hope I don't have anything disasterous happen to keep me from driving home. Last year's axle bearing was a close call.

I don't own a trailer and have driven it to every DW I've competed in. Fortunately this year will be measured in minutes rather than hours. Last year was a touch over 11 hours to get to Tulsa.

And like a moron, I'm planning to drive it in an untested, unfinished, unairconditioned, uneconomical hooptie . . . breaking in the new engine (and hopefully not BREAKING IT) during the drive to BG . . . .
I could trailer it . . . I have an ancient box trailer and a beat-up PSD to tow it with . . . but the trailer's full of '61 Rambler Cross Country 6 and '63 MG Midget (yes, two little cars in one trailer! Anybody want to buy a Rambler?), the trailer's tires probably are no longer up to a 1,500 mile haul, and the rig's fuel economy probably wouldn't be that much better.
Besides, after seeing those flood photos of BG, I'd be worrying all week about my old rig sitting in "impound."
And DW is about DRIVING YOUR RACE CAR, so why not? What could go wrong? (The powers of illogical rationalization are strong with this one . . . .)Last edited by 38P; August 8, 2013, 10:23 AM.

The only reason I am not driving mine out there is to kee pthe wear and tear off the car. Not to mention my truck sleeps better than the car any night with more room to stretch out.-Bobby-
