178 hour of driving time

Seattle to Bakersfield – 1032 miles
Bakersfield to Ocoee – 2529 miles
Ocoee back to Seattle – 3082 miles
Seattle to Depue – 1996 miles
Depue to Whitney Point – 802 miles
Whitney Point back to Seattle – 2742 miles
12,183 total miles ÷ 8 mpg = 1522 gallons of diesel x $3.415 = $5200.

Count me in.

Now, who can we "talk" into driving...

Travles...

Ok, so I hear they would like to run 45's and the Winter Nats and if they can scrounge up 8, I would seriously think about it. I have my trailer that would haul one 45 and four other big boats (C or larger). In a perfect world, I would like to take the 305R, the 45 and a DSH: that leaves two more spots on the trailer plus whatever we can stack on the tow-vehicle. Byrne and Perman would have a spot for a boat each.

OR

Ditch the 45 and we bring a boat-load (yes, pun intended) of outboards so we can all spread out the cost of gas......

I could probably negotiate time off with the employer and drive one way and fly the other.

Thoughts?

[drbyrne55]

I spoke to Tom Cronk yesterday and he would sure like region 10 to make the trip! We could pick a few classes and prep for Nationals. With 45 / D numbers questionable :

Consider .... 6 or 7 302s and CSH/20SS boats from the NW; so far we have 4 that said they would go?
1. Guedo (I'll supply Guedo with a straw and Crown)
2. Mikey
3. Daren
4. Team Byrne

Trailer spots 5,6 (7?) we could check with J Micheal, Nilsens, Bahl, Johnson, Peabody, Bob W ......

[RuthieRae]

Hmmmm

I am thinking about bringing Ashley down to run JH/JR AXSH/AXSR.....was going to try to find her a ride but if it isn't to financially detrimental, I would consider putting her two boats on the trailer????

Let me know what you come up with.

Sheryl

[drbyrne55]

Will do ....
Thx

At this point we better see who can do some of the driving .....

So far it sounds like willing driver are Tony, Guedo, Team Byrne, Daren .... any other takers ....

I go, it would be with a CSR (OR DSH, if 8 were committed) .............no CSH for me for awhile..........


who's rig would be used to pull? I hear Guido wants to buy a NEW Diesel 1ton pickup!!

[Wild Wayne]

Tony is that 5000 miles eating, sleeping or sightseeing. By the way isn't that about 6 weeks paid vacation for the driver.

[Wild Wayne]

Ruthie. What about the 45?
