You guys need to all talk to each other and call several carriers to get rates, get a group, round trip rate. There is no way they should be quoting you much more than $2500 for a round trip, especially it you have several cars coming from the southern California area. It would beneifit you all greatly to all meet at one location so the truck has only one pick up location. A truck driver could waste an entire day and 1/4 tank of fuel driving between LA and OC for 3-4 pick ups, keep in mind diesel is just under $5.00 a gallon. Find out how many cars you think will be going from Socal. If you can not find a better rate let me know, I am in the trucking business and my company works with over 2 dozen of the largest trucking brokers in the nation, I will get you a better rate. If you could get at least 5-6 cars going that is going to be your best bet, you will get the "truck load" and round trip pricing. The freight company is guaranteed a return load and only 1-2 days of downtime and no risk of having to "dead-head" (empty trailer with no income attached to it) to another pick-up location.
Let me know if I can be of futher assistance.

Albert/Rflows E55 is back to stock, and MIGE55/Jody's E55 has been sold for a CL65, he now goes under the name V12godspeed, he wil hopefully be the first CL65 in the 10's at this event. I look forward to seeing your car run. I will start an official sign up thread in about 5 minutes....
