The Dodges transmission decided to grenade just out side of Flagstaff. My Dad drove out to rescue us and haul the trailer home. Now I need to get the truck home.

Anyone have access to/know where I could rent a trailer strong enough to haul a 6500lb truck?

And you can tow it with the Noble.

Will do.

Hey Christine, It looks like you've got some competition this year! Vic Sias is entered in SML.

Letter came yesterday:

The Parking Enforcement Department has reviewed your claim and has made the following determination:
Violation has been canceled.

James--

You've got mail.

Solar collector.

Kurt,
To be nationally competitive (or locally around here) in Solo you need to pick the class you want to run in THEN pick the car for it.

The 135 and cobalt SS are looking good for DS.

When you go for a smog check, you converted car will already be in the CARB system with the VIN listed as a Cal-spec car, so when you show up for a Smog Check and the tech tries to enter your car as Federal, you will fail. Doesn't matter what the tailpipe result is, because you won't even get that ...

EGR valve was different too.

I see custom parts on the way...

Just Wendover!

I just thought something was wrong with the BMW, like someone put a Buicks suspension under it. That icky mushy feeling.

I thought Mari was going about it the hard way. I was going to call them and tell them to tow my red VW and sell it to pay off the ticket!

No girls Jr Kart either...

And remember that just because you put a "free" sign on something doesn't mean you should leave it in the paddock when you leave.

I think I'd raise the hitch some. Doesn't look like much clearance between the trailer and bedrails. Before we raise ours it was a pain in the butt having to nearly stop, look out the back window, check if the corner of the trailer is going to hit the truck bed, at any intersection/parking lot/drive...

The engine or the "I'm off the hook" ?

They don't even have to mount in the stock position. You can drill mounting holes and mount it how you like, as long as it serves no other purpose.

I'm double off the hook! 1997 Cummins and over 8,800lbs.

Blow-outs don't happen often. I've had one in @100,000 miles of towing. Debris in road must have cut the sidewall.

Most living quarter trailers come with 5th wheels so people can legally ride in the trailer.

Get the 3500. It will be slightly more hastle around town but it will tow a big load much much better. The extra rear tires make it much more stable and make a rear tire blowout a non-event.

Yeah, Leonard did a great job with the novices.
