Might want to bring it anyway, even empty.
At the M Events, people are making some nice power due to the nice cool air. Combine that with the great track prep and someone usually breaks something.

Scott,
where the HEdoubletoothpick were you last year? when my tow bill was $300? I was trying to find someone to tow me out there, but obviously didnt have any luck. I guess I just had a feeling. you should bring it though even if noone needs it on the way there. hope you bring your car instead this year though. I still havent seen it run. what have you done to it in the last 2 summers?

Scott, I am thinking of trailering my car only because I have to be back by 3:30/4:00. If I break and and don't get back for my daughters b-day party I may not have a car next year!!
I was going to rent one anyways, but if you want to work something out we can. It just sucks because that is when the quick 16 will probably get started, and I understand you wanting to stay for that.
By the way the other reason that I might want to trailer the car is because the gear that your brother-in-law installed is starting to get loud. It is probably the gear that I supplied.

trailoring
well im still waiting to hear what is going on with the Z.
Jon when did you have my bro, inlaw do the gears? motive gears have been known to make noise but if it all of a sudden gets loud you might have something comming loose in the axle.
Big Mike, man i have been trying to get a hold of you on your old cell # for about the last 3 months.
Chris, sorry to hear about your bill from last years gathering.
I was to busy having a boy to go last year.

They made noise from day one, and I know he know's what he is doing. It is for sure the gears. I was actually thinking of having you install new ones if I don't sell the car.As far as the trailer I think I will just drive to the track and only take a few easy passes. I don't want to press my luck.

I lowered my reserve to $15,000 the last time on ebay, wich was the highest bid before that and it only went up to $12,900. That is the problem it is to rare of a car that I am feeling bad about doing anything else to it. I will rip that thing apart and tub it out before I sell it for that kind of money. I just wanted to get rid of it before it goes in storage so that I can save up some money over the winter. I have another baby on the way Jan. 25th so priorities are elsware as you know. I was thinking something in the v6 turbo flavor for the spring.
Cheap and fast.
