Default Re: It is time to change the Point System

Got a few wild ideas..

I wonder if Freight Rail and Auto Train can help Drag Racers on long distance trips?

It would be interesting if IHRA and NHRA would negotiate a program with them.
There affiliation could reduce the cost of towing and strain of long distance driving patience.
AND
Create a new Business Model for the Rail Industry..!!

My family took the Auto Tain to Sanford visiting Disney taking the Station Wagon.
I have a customized 94SS Caprice Wagon.

My Pure Stocker is street Legal and potentially hit IHRA races in Florida,
Gainesville and West Palm are reasonably 2.xx hour trips from Orlando.

Another Idea...our Impala Club Members hired a Car Carrier to haul 12 Impalas to Los Vegas for an ImpalaFest and the members booked air fares and flew in.

Some of those hired a Custom Travel Bus to live in it at the Drag Strip.
If mechanical help was needed the members pitched in to keep the cars running

Another idea:
Can a transport system be developed to haul Race Vehicles with one vehicle and tools.
Then hook up with the local racers for additional help at a far away meet?

Potential $$ savings here working collectively.. !
