Just wondering if anyone (besides the bikes) is planning on doing 100% of the driving, and having their co-driver just navigate?
Is this even possible? I only ask because I see 12 girls signed up, and I know that my female co-driver is very new to driving standard. I wonder if anyone else is in a similar situation?

I am doing all the driving in my car.
I drove straight to FL once (trading off with a co-driver), and also to South Carolina straight shot with all the driving. It is very doable with decent stops.

I don't drive a standard either. lol I've practiced on a friend's twice in a parking lot. I'm good with 1st through 5th and back, but reverse gives me some trouble. IF I end up driving while Sean sleeps it will be on the highway only.

Man trust me changing seats on the highway is tough, I don't recomend it...even if you had an autotragic.
Course with the T-tops it may be o.k.

Did you not see Smokey & the Bandit, when Burt and Sally tried that...but they didn't have cruise control either... But I will be sure to pull along side and video it!

We will be co-driving BlueBee... Dusty will probably do the majority since its his car, but I will definately be doing my share as well.

I'll likely be doing most of the driving, same thing with my friend in the Lightning. The girls are just for backup when the energy drinks wear off.

Took Karoline out tonight for an introduction to the Z. I did waaaaay better than I expected. I mean she did great!!! lol
No seriously. She did great. I have a feeling I MAY be able to catch a few Zs on the highway this year. That would be a treat.

Chris only let me drive a little last year, when we were both too exhasuted to care. This year, I will be driving during the day, & letting him handle most of the overnight.... besides, I need to make a baby sweater this time...no Caroline, I did not forget! Your sweater is coming!

That's a nice jump.

Actually, its 10whp LESS than what he was making, but his 300.3 was on a 40 degree day, with 1/2 more psi of boost, alot more timing, and low 11 AFR's vs 10.4:1 afr's now... I love tuning... Once the wideband on the dyno gets fixed (Had to use the in car gauge), i'm gonna start throwing timing at it and bring the torque way up.
