The Vette did fine on the rally..Drove 70 mph a lot of the time, it was happy, although the weather was a bit warm at times (105 on the way up through Las Vegas, 111 on the way home through Blythe).

Now that's over...time to think about Drag Week and Cheep. I talked with my wife and she said she'd go if I hauled the car up to MD on the trailer. So I'll do that. Not that I don't have a lot of confidence in it...well, I don't...but just to have a car adventure with her, and keep her slightly comfortable. She's ridden in Cheep a few times, and says it's a lot better than Plan II was

 

It does seem the wife has a different view of how a performance cars should be then we do, especially when it comes to long road trips.
If we want to keep them involved, there are times compromises have to be made.
Is you wife going to be the "pit person" with you while the two of you participate in the Drag Week event, or are you planning on trailering Cheep between the strip events?

 

We have to drive the race car between races, that's part of the charm of Drag Week. She'll help out some, but I don't think there's going to be much to do with this one. Probably just swap rear tires, remove air cleaner, play with exhaust springs. We'll see what happens.
