 Paul and Steve are hatching a plan to take them to the MAM drag strip on the run what you brung night for a little drag racing fun.   ;D  Can you imagine?  I wonder what type of 1/8th mile times they can post?  

I anticipate flying dishes and thoroughly shaken beers! ;D
Paul needs to have the outside stereo blasting Thunder Road as he stages....

Well, it comes down to looking at everything I've done so far and what I've "settled" for.

2000, I was racing pulling a 5x8 trailer with a GMC jimmy, sleeping in a tent.

01-02 upgraded to a conversion van which we slept in (me, wife, 2 kids, 2 dogs)

03 upgraded to 23' trailer which had living quarters in the front, garage in the back.

04 upgraded to the diesel van which towed better (less power, but far better handling).

So, what part of my setup is 'settling' right now?  Well, I have about a 2 hour setup/tear down every weekend.  I have to setup before I can sleep.  Plus, I have to run the generator for heat/ac, and people get PISSED when I run it overnight.

Now, I can literally pull in and be setup.  I can run everything out of the trailer if I want.  

I've been kicking around an RV for sometime now, and finally pulled the plug on it.  I'm young enough to enjoy it and have the money to afford it, so why not..  I just wanted to make SURE I had something that would easily tow the trailer, and would LAST...  I don't think there's much more I could go for here, so I can't see 'upgrading' any further...

very nice Jeff! One thing to remember is never operate the fridge on uneven ground, We loaded ours up the night before a race and left it on the road which is on a slight incline well the fridge slowly quit cooling as well, expensive lesson learned. Its at the fixer now, had to pull the cooling unit off the fridge and send it in. Oh and to save a trip to the dump station, crack the valve to the waste tank so it's a thin stream, take off and by the time you get home... empty, They will never know who did it or where you live ;D

What do you mean? If you do that, you just left a trail of crumbs all the way to your house! What you need to do is crack it a bit and go visit K3 or someone like him!  ;D
