Doubt I'll go but I'm unsure if I'd take the SS or the truck. Wouldn't trailer it though.
It'd be a fair bit cheaper taking the SS, but I don't really want to put the mileage on it.

Trailering the Firehawk down with the 350 and a friend of mine if all goes according to plan.
Bringing a big tent to setup next to the truck when it comes camping/partying time.
Something like 17 hours and 1,100 miles? Will be one hell of a roadtrip...

If your M6 and racing, towing your car is a smart move!!

I only needed a tow home once, but it was the one time my phone wasnt working, i didnt have any cash or CCs on me. Thank God Badhawk was there with a trailer. Since then I dont risk it anymore and just tow my car to the track. If I were auto I would drive it every time!

I'm up in the air about going this year. If theres going to be a big turnout, I may drive or fly down. If theres not going to be, I may just go to the LSX Shootout this year.
I'm not really sure yet, but as time goes by and we get closer, I'll know for sure. I would like to meet some members on the site though!

i really wish i could make the trip, but it's quite a distance and i would more than likely want to trailer the Z. two problems with that, i have no money, and i have no trailer. now i have the rig for pulling it obviously lol:devil:

if i can plan my leave right when i come back to the States, i should be driving a new F-Series (150 or 250). also if it all works out right, i could be a cheep tow for hire for any of the IL people :D

all depends on how long it takes to get my truck (custom order) and if i can get a trailer and get my car street/track worthy in time....(trans, suspension, fix minor leaks, heads, intake, TB, injectors, header gaskets,<---all parts i got just laying around lol )

I wont be going. Too far away, college will be starting back up, dont have a LTX car, shoulder reconstruction surgery on August 26th, lack of funds, AND nobody to co-pilot. I dont even think I'll be at the LSX shootout either. :(
