someone please kick me in the nuts for doing this.
Hope you're following your friends from the East to Napierville, I'll get my daughter to kick you... she's a third degree Black Belt and is my own personal bodyguard.lol great post but honestly you can do for much cheaper. I can remember Chuck Rayburn the year he won his Championship had an older Ford Diesel pickup truck and regular dovetail trailer towing from California all the way to Maple Grove raceway for the Keystone National. You really don't need the big trailer and the big truck, just good mechanical sense.lol. Thanks to all the very nice Gentlemen that have all help, by letting me on some of your well kept secrets. Thank you. Claude Ruel
