I'm bringing my home built beater. Its not gonna be able to compete with any really nice cars but should be at the upper side of the average cars.

I would like to know where to stay and be able to park a pickup and trailer from those that are in the know.

I'm glad y'all are comin regardless of what you're drivin. It's one of the country's events for G-Machines. I really don't think there is a karting track in town no. If there was, I would kick all your asses! 300 pounders are the fastest on karts. Always! LOL

That is now a five hour drive...instead of 19 when I was in Florida and last went in 2005.

Contemplating bring the truck (C6-57) and Johns Nova (ZO6 Nova). Optima batteries has agreed to display Johns Nova if I wanted to bring it out to the show. But I'm having a hard time justifying the 4600 miles round trip and at least 70 hours of drive time. All for a piece of plastic for the Truck of the Year Finalist award. The great truck that won Truck of the year did not even get a full cover shot this month in Classic Trucks. We will be shooting 4 features on the truck in the next few weeks and a possible festure in "Hot Rod". Plus I have fabulous booth Spot for SEMA we were offered that I working to finalize, but we have to wait until June.

So I'm obviously weighing the options at this point, 4600 miles (6000 bucks )or crammed in coach for 5 hours (1000 bucks). HHHMMM...
