Man guys so far it's not looking good. I can't get the truck I was going to rent to tow my junk down there. I really don't want my stock bottom end to blow running it out the back door since I've only ran 1/4 mile once. I wanted to tow there so I knew I could get home.

I'm fighting myself right now. I want to go so bad, but if I don't make this I am for sure gonna be at the Shootout, I just wanted to come to LSfest as I heard it's even bigger than the shootout.

I have triple A and Good Sam, but being 583 miles from home and them only paying the first 40 miles and it being close to 4 dollars a mile after that, I could have a almost built bottom end for that price the tow home would cost.
