transport to events

I'm doing lots of events this summer and I figure might as well make good use of all that diesel getting burned.

I have use of a 4-car non-enclosed trailer.

I am located in West Palm Beach, Florida (south florida, near that big lake in the middle

)

I am planning on doing:

DriftFury3 - Atlanta July 15th

Seda/FormulaD PROAM - Atlanta July 29th

US Drift Round 3 Horsethief Mile - California August 5th

US Drift Round 4 Black Hills -Atlanta August 26th

US Drift Final Championship round - Mid-Ohio September 15-16th

I might add more events, please feel free to mail and ask me about other events.

Keep in mind I am coming from Florida. If heading west, I-10 is the easiest way for me.

To minimize drama, mileage and fuel costs, it is best if we meet at a rest stop to load up or make similar arrangements. Preferrably as near to the interstate as possible.

My truck gets about 9miles per gallon pulling the trailer with a full load of 4 cars. Transport cost will be 150% the cost of fuel, divided among the people going. Figure about 110 gallons for a 1000mile trip is going to be $330 in Fuel. Thats $465 total transport cost divided between the adventurers, with 3 cars that's $155 each. This is a very good deal.

Everything you plan to bring needs to be able to fit in your car, including wheels/tires. I will have some tools and jacks etc, but dont assume that they will be available at all times, and just like anyone, I hate losing tools.

As far as passengers, the truck is obviously a full size truck, it's a 4-door and can seat 6 but definitely would not be comfortable. I would say max of 4 comfortably. If everyone has a crew person then maybe we could rent a car for them to take separately.

One last thing, if the owner of the trailer decides that he wants to put his car on the trailer and it's already full, I might have to bump someone off. He's a nice guy and not likely to do this, and if it happens, I will be the first one off the trailer if it's not an important event.
