    has anybody checked to see where the U-Haul's are and if they have enough open car trailers? 400 plus backroad miles on the second to last day is gonna be tough on my junk. I really want to just drive up to Tulsa, but this leg makes me wonder if it wouldn't be a good idea to leave a trailer in impound.

    then again, if I do that, the 4x8 behind the car idea is history.

    I would have liked to have been a fly on the wall for that conversation. If you run the route backwards, day one is the hardest... but then how many cars are gonna have problems on day one v. this trip where you have a 400 mile leg when everyone is nice and tired.

    The tracks are out, but the route isn't. The "Expect potholes" leads me to believe it isn't all I35 and I40...

    Stop 1: Tulsa, Oklahoma
    Stop 2: Motorplex in Ennis, Texas (about 290 according to bing, Dallas traffic, joy.)
    Stop 3: Thunder Road in Gilliam, Louisiana (about 205)
    Stop 4: Memphis International Raceway (about 325)
    Stop 5: Back to Tulsa for evening finals. (about 400)

    about 1220? Ends up being 1800 or so for me, and I get the short route. Let's see... 1800/9 mpg... I better start my Hooters Hiatus so I can afford gas.

    Maybe a break down of how far in between tracks.
    It's been about 1200 miles total the last few years. You can do a search, just block the big roads and it will give you a ballpark figure. I would expect 1000 to 1500!!

    They don't give that out. You can google the directions between each track and it's very likely going to be longer than the shortest route.
