    Most of the shows we got to are 250 miles one way. The Road Runner had 3:23's and we drove it. The T/A has 4:88's and it's in the trailer. Carlisle is 2 1/2 days which equals to 1800 miles one way so it's in the trailer. I admit I like the comfortable seat and cruise control the truck offers. Not to mention AC and a good stereo!  :2cents:

    I drive mine everywhere! Shows, work, grocery store. But its my daily driver, so that makes sense. So far I think the longest trip I've taken it on is about 150 miles. Hopefully I'll be driving it to Spring Fling, that'll be about around 400 miles one way!  ;D

    I drove my Challenger to Carlisle last year which was just under 400 miles. I took a dog leg route to visit the folks on the way. I had a 2:76 interstate gear and it drove wonderfully (big block 440) but I now have a 543 stroker with 3:91 posi and I'm not sure about the long drive. I Don't have a trailer but wish I did. I think I'll try the scenic route (make lots of stops) and burn rubber all the way to Carlisle, heck, that's what I built the motor for!! :burnout:

    The front trim ring came off somewhere outside of Tok, Alaska. We replaced it with a lot of dirt.  :bigsmile:

    I made the trip straight out of my body brace from my broken back too.  :bigsmile:

    That trip is what got me through the worst three months of my life, I needed something positive to look forward too. The trip filled the bill perfectly.  :burnout:

    Dont own a trailer, so there you have it! If I'm heading to the dragstrip I'll put one of my buddies on alert in case it spits something out.  :2thumbs:

    We drive our 71 challenger everywhere. Usually only on nice days, but we do the full Hot Rod Power Tour with it.
