The 24 Hours of Lemons Forums → Our Crappy Race → Miller Finale. Who's towing and how far.
The Silver Surfer 200sx just signed up to waste a whole bunch of gas going from Hayward, CA to Tooele, UT and back. 1450 mi RT (round trip).
We are considering it. 1332mi round trip from the OC
We've applied. 1,740 miles round trip.
Van
Bringing the Austin or the Wolseley, whichever one is running...
2067 mile round trip...
Close but no cigar I guess.
1,640 miles round trip from San Jose in the Neon Pope.
Oh wait... how far is it from Hayward????
I'm not towing, but I'll be driving just over 1,000 miles round-trip from Denver.
1750 round trip for me. Not towing.
Did it straight through both ways last time. About 15 hours.
Not even sure what I will be racing yet either.
But, I'll be there!
1395 round trip for me from from Concord,CA......
Not towing all the way,tho.... I drive from here to Auburn and then jump in the tow pig
So.....technically,only towing for 1195.....
Close to NOBODY except The MR2 usual suspects.
1292 miles RT from my door, hey, it's closer than BFE GP or Sonoma!
Checked again, it's a LOT closer than BFE. Deer Trail is 1900 miles round trip from here. Easy Peasy!
Could this be one of the problems with this track and perhaps one of the reasons it can't survive?
I doubt their business model depended on Californians making the tow. Seems like it was a vanity project for the Miller's. Timewise for us in So Cal its about the same length as Thunderhill (if you dont stop in Vegas). 80mph speed limit on I-15 FTW!

I can't tow that fast. With the 40' RV and the 25' trailer 65 mph is about our max.
Towing from Gilroy, a little further than you. Neal, you are welcome to the ride, and as always, we'll leave the light in for you in the hotel room..
bs
1600 miles round trip with Subaru on the trailer Wendell
NYRE is Towing 4 cars from Walnut Creek...
1,740 miles round trip.
Same here. I hope to be part of Spank's efforts but I'd feel guilty about driving that far without towing something, so I'm planning to drag along a potential judgemobile, if it's running by then.
We should have a whole section where all the Bay Area folks congregate...
Looks like at least half the field might be from the bay area.
Two Many wheels applied with the Coyote M. 1,345 round trip from Chico. Assuming the car is still in one piece after Thill anyway.

Someone should report you to the Society To Prevent The Abuse Of Swedish And British Cars.

...the Society To Prevent The Abuse Of Swedish And British Cars.
No, everything's okay; it's all consensual. Just ask any of them, except the Austin. It lies.

All Austin's lie, particularly when any switch is in the On position.

That's because the switches are made by Lucas. They all have three positions: Off, Dim, and Flicker.
What time does the track open on Thursday, and what time will folks be arriving? I'm looking at flying into SLC, and I've gotta decide if it's worth a little extra money to get there earlier than 11 PM.
Last year I arrived with Evil Genius and we were able to get signed in and access to the paddock at about 5-6 pm if I remember correctly. There was plenty of room to park. Then the unloading and beer drinking began. Plenty of beer was stashed in plenty of trailers that no one went dry. Last year only the EAST track was used. Very fun track.
Here is the track map http://www.millermotorsportspark.com/track-maps.html
Running the East track, the access ON and OFF the track was at the WEST end of the Pit lane. See that little black line over the gray area just to the left (east) of the ACES cafe. That is the ON/OF road to the pit lane. To get on the track you hang a right onto pit lane, then a left on the access road bypassing turn 1. Then a Left onto the un-used portion of the track, wait for an open spot, and hit it, heading directly towards turn 2
The West track was being used on Sunday by a motorcycle track day group, and if I remember correctly the track ON/OFF was somewhere near the Exit of turn West Ten.
So paddock parking will be best somewhere in the vicinity of the First Aid station, radiating outward from there.
P-box was in the East Day garage.
