Yeah i hear you, thats kinda why i started this. I drove my car to the track 4 times last summer, its an hour and a half drive. My car was pretty much stock but my clutch started giving out and you get worried about driving home. This summer I will have alot more work done, mostly to keep it more reilable on the track, but I dont have a trailer either. So I'm just going for it and hoped to hear from people running alot faster than me but still hope to drive home.
Thanks guys
Thanks guys

I drove my car to the track with an aluminum jack, slicks, tool box, jackstands, and air tank in my car 25+ times last year. My n/a times are in my sig. It was pretty cool to put someone on the trailer and pass their tow rig on the drive home every weekend... lol

that's what came to mind..We lost to him on Drag Week 2 years ago...fast car!
The shop car went 8.6 @ 162 driving over 1100 miles on drag week.
I drive my NA LT1 to and from the track and it goes 10.8@123 NA and will be in the 9's come spring ( few weeks ).

I don't drive mine to the track, just because I don't want to break down 21/2 hours away. I do drive the crap out of it around town, and a normal sat. night out usually includes 2-3 hours of driving. Also, a few runs in there too. I've been 9.78 so far, hoping to hit the bottom 9's, maybe a high 8 this summer. Full weight, full interior, radio and a/c kicking. Its FL and I'm fat. haha

few weeks back i packed up four tires, jack, tool box, impact gun, and my girlfriend and drove 100 miles to the track, changed tires and clicked off a new best of 10.74 @ 128.2 and drove home
i was pretty friggen excited man, going for faster next time out
(wanna know the crazy thing, i have a 2007 F150 that is very capable of towing it and easy access to a friends trailer, but i just like the idea of driving it and running those times so thats why i do it)
