Just make the trip!

I'm still not set on if I want to trailer the car down or not. Apparently I have to figure that out before I send in my registration form because that's on there. I guess it makes sense so they have an idea of how many trailers are going to be on the property. If I do drive the car I'm buying a bra for the front and I'd be saving money on gas. However if I trailer it I'm keeping the miles and wear off the car, plus I'd have the truck for storage space during the show. Trying to think, what makes more sense?

Last year trailers where not able to park by the show field (does not mean they will do the same this year) I belive you get a point advantage for driving vs trailering (read the clasifdication rules) it would say in there.

car bra is diffinately a plus if you drive

Yes either way I think a car bra would be a good investment. Obviously I'd just use it for longer nice weather highway trips.

What do you mean by getting an extra point? After looking at both the Registration Form and the Classes/Guidelines Form, the only thing I see mentioned is that I would not be able to receive one of the special awards if I trailer the car.

I've contemplated, for forever now it seems, and have decided to trailer the car. I'm borrowing an aluminum car trailer from a neighbor.

So, If everything goes as planned, I should have my new headlights installed well ahead of this and possibly a new set of tires. Those are the next big plans for the car.

Matt:

What are you going to tow the trailer with? I will let you use my Silverado (Its Black) if.. you will allow me to throw my barstool racer in the bed to use at the show!

Even though I would be leaveing on thursday to run down there with Tad..
Id let ya have it on Tuesday or wednesday . That way you can still get your stuff together as well for your trip on Friday?

Other wise .. I have to figure out a way to get my Electric Scooter in the Monte... for the show. Hmmmmm
