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.

Thanks for the suggestions....

I will call a few different carriers tomorrow and ask for a group rate of 5-6 cars.

also call rick man he owns a dealership surely he ships cars , where is RAR? He has the fastest CLS 63 in the world he better damn well bring it to MIR.

1. Chiromikey and Jakpro should give a great matchup to Higginsbeach. Who else back East has a stage 5 car? Any stock 55's avail to finish this 63 vs 55 mess?

Guess I get to line up Mathmik, ChicagoX, hook a rope to the back of Jays CL 600 to get me down under 12 LOL... Who wants sum??? Dam East Coast will never be the same

What about BrianS, he has the most modified car for an E55 right now. He has been very quite of late. Ayyone heard from him. This event is right in his back yard. Is RFLOWS, Derricks or Mig's car still running these days?? Alberts car has been dismantled so his car would not show up to break any records, right?? What about Derricks???? Just sizing up the (55) competition......

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....
