I'm thinking about going but I don't really want to put 1500 miles on my car to get there and back. (53k original miles). What are the alternatives? And as the title suggests, who's all going?

I hope to go, all depends on if I have a running car by then. Don't want to drive the car, trailer it, but in my opinion cars were made to be driven.

If I were to go, I would trailer it. But then again, I would also want to compete in all the various cool events and need the car setup for the track, want my track tires, et al. Can't drive it that far like that, and Memphis is a pretty long distance... However, odds are pretty lousy that'll I'll be able to make it this year. There's a lot going on that I can't forsee what will happen just now, and it mainly comes down to job, cost, a lot of vacation time and of course, kid schedules. It sounds like a really cool gatheirng too. Blek. SJ

I am going to try and trailer mine. It would really suck to break the car and the have to find a way to get it back from that far away. If I get the car running on straight E-85 by then I will need to trailer it because there are not many E-85 stations down that way.

Well I just signed up so it looks like I'm going. I'm bringing the gf and hopefully can con another friend into sitting in the back seat for 9 hours. I'll have to find a very small friend...

Whassup bitches!
I'm skipping out this year. I can't trailer my car and I just don't trust not breaking down on the side of the road. I will be at UMG though so look-out! Shapap!
