Us Underdogs are leaving Thursday night/Friday morning
so we can make it there for practice starts. Last
year we had some trouble and didn't arrive until well
after dark. We will leave in 4 cars with 7 people,
all wired with CB Radios. The CB's definitely make
the 12 hour trip easier and more fun too, since a lot
of the time the person in the passenger seat is
sleeping, and the driver doesn't have to sing to the
radio to stay awake. Unfortunately, I have to drive
straight back from Ft. Meyers to be in class at 8:05
Monday morning, and since I can't skip 2 Fridays in a
row, I have to wait until Friday afternoon to leave
for the 8= hour drive to Meridian, and then rush back
to class Monday morning again. But it's not like I
ever [need] sleep anyway. At the end of last year I
tallied up all my autocross related driving and it
added up to almost 35,000 miles, added with the normal
city driving, plus I deliver pizza for a living, and I
put a total of 65,000 miles on the Civic last year.
Figure an average speed of 50mph and I spent 54 days
in that car last year.
