Mockery is bad juju. This isn't the Fast and The Furious, and no ones Vin Diesel. It's FocusFest, and we're all on the same team.

I am hoping to make FocusFest next year and this would be a good idea. I might even have a few upgrades to make this fun.

That is one of the reasons that I trailered to FF09 in Arkansas. I was afraid of driving 1400 miles then beating the snot out of my car and having to drive 1400 back (actually more because I made a pitstop in Indiana). Turns out trailor came in handy more for some other folk that broke down than myself! Still I was glad that I was in a position to help.

Depending on how far FF10 is, I'll probably trailer again...

Well I guess I gotta think about it I've auto-x'd before a few times I just hate the standing around waiting to run part of it.

If it's over 500 miles this time I highly doubt it. I may go as far south as kansas city, but that would be about it.
2-3 runs wouldn't be worth it imho, first couple runs your getting used to the track.
If you want the facility managers number for mid america pm me. this is where I had ff08 planned for originally. great guy to talk to and find out all sorts of info.
