Topic: K-car post-Northworst cross-country zig-zag.
So, I propose a gentle shortcut, er, um, detour.
I can pick up the car from Olympia the weekend after the race and drive it over to DC. I'm sure my sister wouldn't smack me too hard if one of you drives it over to her place in Seattle and leaves it there for a week, for me to pick up.
The next weekend after that, I'll either enter the car at NJMP myself, or get on a team that would race it.
The following month the car will sit in DC, getting reliability improvements, spares, and maybe some extra paint here and there.
Afterwards, a week before Thunderhill, I'll drive it straight to CA, non-stop, then get on a plane home. I'll come back a week later and race the everliving crap out of it, again, either as my own team or with somebody else.
Then, right after the race, I'll fix up the car, drive it to Houston while enjoying some sight-seeing, drop it off, and either get on a plane to Charleston, or catch a ride with one of the teams going to CMP, to join my team in Kershaw (racing our own retarded crapcan, for a change).
Does that sound like a good plan? If so, let's work out the details.
