Hartge: If you trailer it, I'm going to be behind you to draft you and get better gas mileage. hahaha

If my car breaks down.... can I jump on the trailer? :p I need a plan B and C. :)

[E30trash]

i think im still driving home around the same time, im down to roll with a couple of people, or just rwdrift

[Hartge_H27]

Yea if U want u can draft behind me. I dont have a prob. And as long as my car is running we can swap cars on the trailer if something happens. I will be debuting my car at the picnic so i hope it runs. lol

Word. This trip is definetly becoming a thumbs up from me.

[KenC]

have any of you calculated fuel costs?

[Erick]

Yes, $1200. That's driving to and back directly, which I probably won't do.

You guys should talk to Clay. He has done some long trips for these types of events and has always put together some great toolkits in case of a breakdown.

AAA is a must!

[Erick]

Yup. My trip will have two big events. The PNW Picnic, and a drift event in CA on the 21st/22nd. Time to start raising money. :)

This will easily top $2k+... but I think it will be just as worth as a trip to Europe. And since the dollar is weak and the Euro is strong... might as well stay in land and do something different.

Maybe IE will let me store the car there for a week after the picnic so I can prepare for the drift event in CA.

What I like the most about this idea is that everything so far is looking good. We'll be traveling in packs most of the time (I'm sure I"ll head down from the PNW with some CA guys back to SoCal), so if someone breaks down we can help. And I can get any parts I need overnight with KO as long as I'm traveling on a weekday.

Now to send a letter to Fedex asking them to start delivering to mile markers off the highways.

Wow, I'm a bit amazed that you guys would drive up for the picnic. I guess I just got lucky that it goes on 10 minutes from home.
