Before yall freak on the miles the car seems in very good shape,been driving it daily for a few months with no issues.
The event is 3 hours from home. Thoughts? |

If a trailer is an option and you're more than 15 miles from home, I'd trailer it...because "stuff" happens... You never know when the racing gods will sacrifice a driveshaft, rear end (brake hop breaking things, etc), torque arm or who knows. Taking a trailer is well worth the piece of mind if it's possible to do so.
