That looks like a candidate for the autocross!
Or maybe a run down the Baja???
Built this with a local 1/4 mile clay track in mind..we'll see come June or July.
That little kart is going to be a handfull. Just be careful, huh?
Corey!!!! CURB THAT CAR!!!!
Jim - Are you and Ginny traveling alone to Carlisle? Hope you're taking your time. Below is the way to travel a long way.
And for those of us on a budget, there's this:

Yes, that's a "Redneck Sleeper Cab" in the back. It may look like just the back doors of a 4-door cab, but I've got my bed (and mini-beds for my two Jack Russells), microwave, Campa-Potti, XM Radio (for Channel 171, "The Open Road" trucker's channel), DirecTV and, of course, my Mini-Fridge for "Dixie VooDoo Lager".....
Now, THAT'S the way to long-distance travel!!
Yee-Haw!!!!!!
"On the Road A-gin......"
Of course, with Diesel at $4.19/gallon along I95, flying is beginning to look inviting again...
"Honey! Where's my "Road Warrior" bag???"

Warren - I'm flying solo to Carlisle and joining a caravan with Cory/Teresa and rooming with some 'Rocket Scientist' at Carlisle!
If I had enough time I would drive the Speedy out there!
We're looking forward to seeing you & Karen in your new ride at Morro Bay!
Peace - Out!

Who is the rocket scientist? Hmmmm, well I know it ain't me!
Looking forward to meeting you Jim, plenty of seats available for cruzin. Bring some more left-coasters with you!

I believe the honorable Mr. Frazer was and still is a rocket scientist. We can discuss adding some boosters to your Spyder. YEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAaaaaaaaa..........
Lane, do you really think my car ought to accelerate faster?
YEEEEEEEHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
YEEEEEEEHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Uhh....I think it's just fine the way it is. ;)
He's got a point. I had a full head of hair before I rode in Danny's car.
Lane, you and I should drive it in reverse!
It's too late for me. I don't have much left there, either.
I've heard that if your hair falls out in front, you're a thinker, and if it falls out in back you're a lover. Since mine left in both areas, does it mean I think I'm a lover?

BWAAAAA HAAAAA HAAAA! Maybe we should start a new thread on hair and get back to the business of Carlisle.
No Lane, it means you'd love to be a thinker!
DOH! Left myself wide open to THAT one, didn't I?
Um, Carlisle, yeah... I'm in the process of this year's round of tweaks and upgrades. I do so love the run-up to Carlisle.

Me too..... Time to start ti=hinking about giving Pearl a bath and her annual waxing. Don't think I'll be doing too much else, although thinking about new tires.....we'll see.

I'm going back to Warren's point - Great way to travel!

Potential RV Customer: "I've been looking for an RV, but I don't have a lot of room in my Garage."
Tom deWalt, RV Empresario: "Not a problem.....I have this Speedster RV package that looks like a 356 Speedster Replica when it's sitting in your garage, but watch.....you push this button on the dash and ....'WHOOSH!!'....It turns into a Class A RV with dual slide-outs!
P.RV.C: "HOT DAMN! Evelyn! Look-it THIS! Just what I've, er, ah....WE'VE been a-lookin for!!"
Tom: "Not only THAT, but it also has the special "'Doctor Who' Tartis Package" which gives it special powers to have a 40-room mansion on the inside, while staying Speedster-small on the outside so you can still fit it in your garage!!"
P.RV.C: "Whoo-Wee! A Forty-Room Mansion....that come with a pool, too?"
T.d-W: "Sure! It's got a lap-pool in the master bathroom!"
P.RV.C: "I'm gonna TAKE it! That lap pool will be just the thing for our Blood Hound, Roofus. Maybe that'll keep him from lappin' from the toilet!"
Tom: "Let's step over to my office and fill out some paperwork....."

Bruce,
No, but wonder if it could be imported? Looks like lots of fun!
Hey Gordon - you kill me. Every new RVer wants a 40-room mansion in a 18-footer that gets 20 mpg. If it could be done, I'd be a gizzionaire!
Folks all think the price of fuel is killing RVing but reality is RVers don't drive them to work every day. 5000 miles per year is typical. At 10 mpg that's 500 gallons for the entire year!
Do the math. Factor in restaurants and hotels. Just try to take a family on more than one vacation per year for anywhere near RV money.
If fuel was $10/gallon would we stop driving our Speedies? Not me. Can't wait for Carlisle!

Geesh a RV does alot better on fuel than my Dodge dually hauler, I spent just $34,942.00 last year on diesel....- yes the coma is in the right spot! ~Alan
If I had to pay that much for fuel,I'd be in coma too!!!
I "see" you caught that !
Took the new diesel truck out on a run to Savannah and back just yesterday to get a Leer cap installed. Just for the heck of it, I hooked up the car hauler (empty) to see how everything feels before heading to Carlisle or somewhere else and finding that something's awry.
I made the same trip to Savannah without the trailer (when I ordered the cap) and got 18.2 round trip and thought that was pretty good. With the trailer only I got 17.6, measured at the same fuel pump. I'm hoping to get 16.5 with the car on the trailer. BTW: This was at a constant, cruise-control 70 mph down I95. Overall, it would probably have been a tad better if I never got off of I95, as any time spent in local traffic kills the fuel mileage.
There's another short story about the trailer brakes initially locking up at the first intersection I came to (WTF is THAT??), but that'll wait for another thread......
If I had that huge, Heavy-Duty three car trailer with three cars on it that Alan hauls around, I bet I wouldn't even get up to 10MPG!!!! It looked pretty cool with Chris' dead pickup on it after Carlisle, too!
