I still have some more "tinkering" to do before Im driving great distances without "worrying about anything".

I mean, Im only worried now because I didn't build motor that's in it. I don't know if it was done right. Ect Ect.

But if someone asked me Id roll it on a long road trip - with headphones. ProTouring? Not quite there yet.....

Me. :) I've done it twice to the FW GG shows, if you count those. Working on plans to hit a track 2 hours away soon!

Minor problems both trips, but nothing that couldn't survive the drive. I do carry a big bag of tools as insurance though. ;)

You just need to add a cell phone charger with car and wall adapters to the list!

At last count 24 tracks through 27 states...

But I don't think there is anything wrong (and a whole lot right) with trailering it to the track. There's nothing fun about being far from home with a broken pile...

That being said... the trailer hitch is going back on the car for the summer and the coffin will be back on the road starting in Road America...

No problem here. Even drove it in the snow.

One of the things I had Eric add was a cigarette lighter socket to the car up under the dash so that I could plug in a charger. On the trip to Fort Worth, I used the GPS and listened to Sirius/XM the whole way which completely drained the battery in the fall! This worked perfectly during the spring trip...

Um, er. Makes complete sense in my head. :)

I left out a detail... I was using the GPS in my phone and listening to Sirius via Bluetooth through the car stereo. 3 hours of that killed the battery in the phone, not the car. ;) That's what I get for trying to write a message while busy at work!

I had yah Bryan. Greg just has too many balls in the air to focus! Plus, it took him so long to use the multi-quote, I'm not sure he knows you can stream music and use the GPS in a phone all at the same time! :bigun2: :underchair:
