Quote: and after all that, drive it 41/2 hours to great bend Kansas. holy sh... these guys are "DIE HARD" folks hats off to all the guys that do this event.
That 4.5 hour trip is for a NORMAL car on NORMAL quickest route. These cars are slow on the road, have to stop for fuel OFTEN and have a less than direct route. That 4.5 for you and me, usually ends up closer to 7 or 8 for these guys.
I left Great Bend at 4:30ish and got to my hotel at 9:00. A friend in a 9 sec car with an overdrive left more than two hours ahead of me and we arrived together. He can run 70 or so. Some of the Unlimited cars have to run around 60 or less at times............so its a LONG drive for them.
