You will chew up damn close to 6 hours each way towing a trailer, especially on a weekend. It's a haul. I drove down there this summer to pick up a rear. WJ

Damn 7 hours to go to the track, and I thought it was bad that it takes 45 minutes to get to Atco.

it takes us either an hour and a half to get to NED or an hour in a half to get to lvd...
Warren, i have been using my dad's friends trailer, im getting an aluminum one over the winter, also, do you know how much it would cost for a 17 year old to register a 2002 camaro? try like $3500-4000 a year for insurance and what ever registration costs....

Also, anyone think a 2002 s-10 will tow a 2002 camaro with an aluminum trailer?

Towing that car/trailer w/a S-10 pickup is pure foolishness IMO. Even if you have to rent at least a 1/2 ton full size pick-up for the wknd, it would be a smart thing to do. Why take the chance of twirling it around, ruining the truck, car, probably w/NO insurance, correct me if I'm wrong, and a trailer to boot, to go and make a couple of 1/4 mile passes? Loco. WJ
