Now that Gwen is retired... we're going to try to use show dates and track dates as an "excuse" to get out of the Pacific NorthWet in the winter... and be able to just come and go as we please. I'm a bit "nomadic" and am thinking that I'd use this rig the same way we used to use our boat. Or at least I'm hoping that's the case... and that the hassle factor of a rig this size is offset by the "go where I want when I want stay as long as I want".

Last week, for an example, I'd have stayed in Scottsdale a couple more days -- then headed for Del Mar Nats... then gone home up the coast. I'd have had the track car - the hot rod - and the regular car with me... Gwen would have flown home - and I'd have been a free man!
Makes sense.... My buddy has a set up like the one you're getting and he and his wife (doggies included) takes off racing across the country when ever he feels like it.

He used to do it with a P/U and enclosed. Then he realized by the time you plan your route, book hotel rooms, find places to eat etc..... the Totor home and trailer saved time, effort and a lot of hassle, not to mention he can go and see whatever he wants in this great land of ours anytime he wants in between races

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.
