Well I'd have to ask him and it would depend on how many people would be staying, but they are very hospitable so it probably wouldn't be a problem. I'm sure all of us would be sleeping on the floor though haha. But at least the cars would be safe because they have a huge front yard and driveway haha.

That trailer you're looking at, does it haul 1 car or 2 or 3? If it's just one I'd say it's probably not worth it, for the extra fuel cost I mean, but if it hauls a few I say let's do that. Although if it's just one car, the person who has their car on it should drive it and pay for the fuel haha. Pacing it would still suck though haha.

It hauls tractors for competition tractor pulls...I'm not positive on how many car we could get on it but I'd be shocked it was less than 4 or 5. it's a pretty huge, legit trailer LOL. My main worry would be loading and unloading it.

Also, I'm pretty sure it's not covered or anything, just a basic flatbed, so no protection for the cars. Car covers would be a good idea.

Wow, that's a good size trailer, that should do the trick haha. I'm confused on the car cover idea though. The cars that are being driven won't have car covers so why are we worried about the ones on the trailer? LOL

^Mostly because trailers and the truck towing it have a nasty way of kicking up rocks, but I get your point. I plan on covering my front bumper (even tho it's not in great shape LOL) and 99 spec lip in blue painters tape

Gotcha. I think I'll skip taping mine up, it's already beat up enough as is haha.

And I like the camping idea too. Although I might change my mind when it actually comes to it, cause hey, I love my creature comforts hahaha. I do like camping though.

So are you going Chris?

My Fiance's grandpa's trailer is out. The ramp is too aggressive to get any cars up on.

I'm also a bit sketchy if I can afford to go...only because a company in England (Atomic Rex) is now releasing only 20 of their billet CNC manual steering racks for the FD again (they previously sold out) and I REALLY want one! And with a wedding and honeymoon to pay for, it might just not be in the cards this year. We'll see.

Hmmm, a billet manual steering rack sounds nice too LOL. Although I love my PS pulley so I'll keep it regardless haha.
