thats a long drive and alot of money to race when cecil is 40 minutes away and costs $12

 

i dont know then.... whatever.

 

im just saying buddy, i underestimated the trip with the trailer last year big time. this time i am going prepared and am stepping up the game to be competitive in my class.

if you wanna find a trailer and someone to haul ya down there, thats cool, its a good time for sure, but its really is more than just a simple drive down there, it really becomes quite the excursion when you pull a 12k load through the mountains 700 miles

 

if someone is willing to tow me out there, great. if not thats fine, is not like my truck is unbareable to drive out there. guess we will wait and see.

 

id have no problem throwing my smarty on a low level and driving out there myself. the stack would get a little annoying but i trust my truck to make it.

im def gonna go prepared to compete tho, last year i came in not having a clue being my 3rd pull, unprepared and took 10th out of 22 in the superstreet class...there are trucks in the 800hp range that can run super street.

 

I am also not doing anything down there but watching so if anyone wants to be towed I will, yea and I have a 4 door

 

i aint doing anything with mine.i have no prob ridin with someone

 

Bump, still early but we should get together about this and start planning some.

 

so i talked to my uncle about finding a drop deck trailer to throw some trucks on, he said he will ask around. but i need to know how many are SERIOUS about running there trucks. the ones who may break something or is setting there truck up before they go. i know tj is countable.

 

i def want to go out there and run my truck. i plan on running it alittle before i go out there to get any problems worked out...

 

Just to bump this up, and figure out who wants to stay in my 5th wheel. I have room about six. I know Travis has said he will and TJ is thinking it over, I believe. If you do plan on staying in the 5th, then I would only ask that you kick in for the fuel. I will handle the costs at the camp ground and my fair share of the fuel costs and probably bring along a good amount of beverages and food. I can't justify dragging this camper down for just myself and one or two guys. It would be as much or cheaper, at that rate, to stay in a hotel and maybe ride with someone else or tow another truck, if there is a trailer available.
Also, when do we plan on leaving and returning? I'm guessing leave here early 4/24 Thurs. and leave there early 4/27 Sun.?

 

I will definately stay in the 5th if it makes the trip. I agree, it is a long drive so I say leave early, early on Thursday, say around 3-4 am. As for coming back it won't be that early I believe, but I would say leave there by 9-10 am. I also think that everything needs loaded the day before so that we are not trying to boom down in the dark and in the am, too easy to screw something up that way. We need to get together with everyone that is planning on going and figure out who is towing who, who is riding with who, etc...

 

A hotel room will cost about $225 max for 3 nights depending on which hotel we pick. May be able to get a room with 2 queen beds for as cheap as $55/night.

Hauling the camper down and back at 11mpg (worst case scenario) will end up between $500-600 just for Todd's truck. Travis towing my truck will be another $500-600 in fuel.

 

If the rooms are that cheap I think it is better to get a room than tow the camper down there. I have heard that the rooms are going quick already also. We need to figure out who is going so we can book rooms, we can always cancel extra rooms if we do not need them.

 

Hey guys,

IIRC my room was like $78 after taxes and everything last year. I stayed at the same Hotel as T.J. Marriott I think?
