Very nice Steve. Car sounds killer. Looks like traction wasn't too much of a problem during the 1st three gears.

I like it!

Good job!

How'd the trip go with towing and all??

I think my navigator cost me. Did Shane ride with you?

Nope.. but I think you had a "slight" aero advantage

The 24' enclosed and car were maxing out the 5.3L .. especially going home from Utah to Vegas where it was 107 degrees (loooong uphill)

And blowing three trailer tires didn't help.. but I made it back..

The road was a slury of rocks and cement.. not very traction friendly.. I think the car hooked somewhere in third gear..

Car looks good. Did I see where you were coming to RTTH?

Last year blew 3 trailer tires going to Motor State. Nothing sucks more, especially when you are in a small town in West Virginia and they had to call the next town to bring a tire...all the tire stores in town had gone out of business.

Another video I found online.. this one is of us starting the road rally challenge part.

Not sure on RTTH.. travel budget is thin and I'm going to LSFest.. if RTTH was the next weekend (like last year) it would be easy but I have to fly home and fly back out again..
