don't know if anyone would be up for this but it's an idea. We could do a milage contest. This is how I see it going down, we find a place to drive to for lunch or some thing. The round trip should be some where around 100-150 miles with hwy driving and maybe some hills or traffic or stop and go driving. We would all fill up at the same fuel station at the start and finish. At the begining we would all pitch in $10-$20 and the winner takes all. Durring our trip we would all have to keep up with each other ( no falling back more then 10 truck lenghths) and we can either set a speed to try and stay around (65-75 mph) or we can draw straws for who leads and they set the pace. Any ideas on this? If we get at least 5 people on this at $20 a truck then the winner would get his next tank paid for!!!! Could be fun!!!

Sounds like a good way for everyone to lose their money because I know who will win......Randy.

I don't care who is in it but that's just my $.02, and if some one always wins then that just makes me want to try even harder. It won't upset me!!! LOL

That's awesome, but I still don't think that you should still have to sit out. Maybe after you prove to be king of milage you could be our offical pace setter. But I do think you do deserve to win the bounty at least once.

Perhaps we could make it a little more challenging for Randy, I bet it lugs bad in 5th at about 60mph. We could take 108 (30 miles 60mph) out to I-20 (70mph and ? on miles) then either go to Mary's at Strawn or turn right and head for somewhere in Weatherford then run down to downtown Granbury (for some real stop and go) and come back to fill up and hand the prize money to Randy.

I knew thats the one you'd want. That won't work cause you have to haul a load too, and you can't haul a load on a trailer without a floor. How about you're blue trailer, with the skid steer on it. That'd make it fair
