Towing from MA, then testing @Bradenton early Jan - Page 2

Greeting all, soon to be happy new year!

I have sold my LRE and am going to be towing it down to Bradenton FL.

Tow route suggestions? It looks like either 95 straight down, or 81 to 95 which is a bit longer.

I'm looking to show the new owner the ropes during their open test and tune. His first drag vehicle, so I am hoping they might prep the track, but figured I'd ask here and see if any locals have experience.

I do see they run a major NMCA event at the track, so I'm hopeful.

I'll be doing the same thing I did with my kids, giving him a detailed written manual, in the truck walkthrough, demonstrate, reinforce the burnout method so he doesn't break it in the box, staging, partial throttle run, etc.

What to do if it spins(ah lift!, etc.)

Who knows, might plant the seed for a Stock/Superstock racer!
