ARRC Travel, Parking

This is an initial call for all Northeast folks heading out Road Atlanta in November for the annual ARRC bash. As before, we'd like to get a headcount of who's going and what you're driving, so that we can present that information in advance to the ARRC organizers. They will work to get us all paddocked together in one common area (the same parking format as last year).

So, if you're planning on going - even if you only THINK you might be going - post here the following information:

Name
Car type and class
Tow vehicle make and model
Trailer make, model, and size - Note all open trailers will have to be stowed away from the paddock "down the hill."

As always, travel costs are a concern. With fuel prices the way they are anything we can do to reduce costs is appreciated; if we can consolidate travel plans in order to reduce costs, so much the better. For example, do you have a truck capable of pulling more than a single-car trailer? Do you have access to a multi-car trailer, open or closed? If the former, would you be interested in pulling a multi-car trailer? If the latter, are you willing to let someone borrow it? And finally, for getting down there I have a 15-passenger van and can carry extra passengers.

Once again I'll be the central depository for all this info, and I can coordinate any kind of ride-sharing. If you have specific question feel free to post here, or feel free to email (grega -at- pobox -dot- com) or PM me directly. - GA

Where do you live, Beran? If it means getting someone else to make the event, we can always find room to haul spares and such. - GA

Not to take this off topic, but damn Tim that is a big trailer for a short bed truck. Isn't the truck all over the place?

Jeremy - The quad gives it plenty of length - but I thought he trialer was supposed to sway back and forth - No???? I found that if go at least 80 mph you don't notice the swagger.

My bigger issue is the weight - the whole kit and kapoddle weighs 19,500# - that's a lot of bacon Jeremy for that Hemi. Is there a diesel in my future???? Caaarroooool. :rolleyes:
 
In the "would love to go" mode as of now... Would need to at least split the fuel costs and an oil change in Stephens truck... Not sure he would let me take the truck, the trailer and HIS race car but it would be worth asking is someone is seriose about splitting the costs... Fuel to/from Ohio was almoast $1,000 I think for the 28,000lb rig.... that was 12 hours, not 18hrs.

MO is 1500 miles round trip from Portland, NH. At 9mpg/$3 per gallon, that is around $500 in fuel.



We are thinking about farming out the toter and 5-car stacker.

Andy - As I mentioned before - keep me in mind for a spot on the stacker. I would much less reliant on the "Moon and the Stars", if I could fly down and meet the car. I wish I could get 9 mpg. - I barely get that without the trailer on the back.
 
yeah, I'm on the list: Jake
Pickup and 20' enclosed

But, more importantly, did anyone notice Joe's sig!?!?!

AWESOME!

Try putting the car and all equipment as far towards the back end of the trailer as possible; then try getting near highway speed. ;)
 
AWESOME! Maybe he can do it someday... :eclipsee_steering:

Time for a new skeeter. [/b]

LOL...I always thought it looked more like some kind of confused beetle going in figure 8s to me...

(But double bonus points for the initiative!)

You are right. Just a bug. Gotta get me a real Mos-kee-toe.

ON-TOPIC: If you are interested in your car getting transported from Bellingham, MA to RA for the ARRC (5 max), see me at LRP. You could fly in and meet your cr there or you could hitch a free ride in the Toter. Space for all tires, tools and gear included.
