Well, I've be chosen... I will be driving the Peterbilt to Daytona, FL, leaving Thursday night or early Friday morning.
We need to be there by 7am Tuesday morning. I'll use this thread to post up pix and news as we progress across the country.
Oh, what did I get myself into...

We'll be taking the 10 all the way....I'll be carrying a double-stack of 22' Daytonas... But no boat & trailer... The other driver is pulling the 36' Coupe with a Dodge HDD. The other two boats (Pepsi & 50th Anni) are going carrier.
They want to hit 800 miles a day.... Doubt it... Not with me pee-break schedule...
We'll be working the Eliminator booth at the race... Stop by and BUY A BOAT from me...
We pack up on Monday the 8th, and I will take the Coupe to Toronto, ONT Canada, for a show & run. Prolly have to stay with the boat there the entire time.... The Pete comes back to SoCal.
I've never done this before, drive across the country, let alone in a CAR.... Should be an interesting journey...
