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? |

And even if something breaks that's easily fixable before leaving the track, it's just so much nicer to throw it on the trailer and drag it home to work on it on _your_ time, instead of rushing around, at the end of a long, hot day driving to get the car in runable condition to hobble home.
Unloading a car from a trailer, even if it's a shove off into the garage, at 6 p.m. is a LOT nicer than limping the car home and arriving at 0200 the next morning. A trailer is just more civil. |
