For the 2009 Run, Ray (Punisher) is going to be renting us his truck to haul spare tires, tools and gear that we don't want to tote in the cars.
We are going to have the driver follow behind us from checkpoint to checkpoint. This way if anyone has any troubles along the way the truck will be close by. We will make sure everyone has means of contacting the driver so if you need him to stop or meet you along the way you will be able to tell him.
This should eliminate any issues like we had this year and will hopefully free up some room in our cars. Also if we get some bikes again this year it will allow them to bring more gear and cloths.
There will be a small fee to help cover gas, but it will be something in the area of $30. Right now it costs about $400.00 to fill the truck.
I just wanted to let you all know so you can work it into your plans and won't have to leave things behind that you want to bring.

Hey I'm thinking of joining the rally with my Lotus Exige, but my main concern is I have no room for a spare set of wheels and tires. Is this truck a definite thing? and there will be room for my wheels and tires ?If so then I'll sign up for sure. We just have no room for anything in the car..lol I also don't want any stickers on my starshield clear bra, so that night be tricky,

Yes the truck is a sure thing. (Ray?)
I'm sure we can work out something for your stickers. I know you don't have much window space lol.
If you decide you want to enter send me an email and we can discuss it.

I got the guy down to $3500.00 and he can't go any lower. I can't afford to cover it this year and the participation this year does not look like enough to cover it either.
Looks like we may have to do it another year.

Bobbie, maybe we should throw an RX8 spare in the back of the van considering our luck running to the city. I have 2 spares for the RS4 now... They seat belt nicely into the back seats -Dave

I'm still trying to find someone to drive the truck. Anyone that is not coming because of funds want a job? I'll cover the hotel, food, event and gas. You drive the truck behind us from checkpoint to checkpoint.
