Im trying to keep in mind that Im headed for Newport Beach in LA.....and Tempe in Phoenix,,,,,,they are kinda downtown for that kind of action.

Im thinkin of part load on the Sub....part on the trailer.

All this predicated on the Phoenix customer actually coming through with his order,,,,meaning I have to take the Sub and trailer instead of the Roadmaster and its smaller trailer......

I'm hoping both you noobs have a great time out there. One thing you have to remember, bracket racing is not always about who's fastest, it's about consistency, and sometimes just plain luck. :D

Lets hope for 9 or more so we can have 4 rounds.
I may need to stick someone in the seat of my 66 Dart Wagon "tow car" to help the car count!

I will gladly wheel it if we need a car. I am supposed to drive Rick's car, but IF we need cars he can drive his.
