    Next week I will be taking home a 1976 ramp hauler from Reno NV to Granby Quebec, along I 80. As a died in the wool car guy, what is a must see along the route(junk yards, tool stores, race tracks, cruise nights....) We will be leaving Reno Monday afternoon arriving in Quebec on Friday if all goes well.

    I need your help please. When you have a moment please view this short video on Youtube (vintage race car pictures). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udLOPOhTQKs In order to conserve my sponsors for my race car(and get new ones for next season) the more times this is viewed the better. If you also would be so kind as to share it with your e-mail links that would be spectacular.

    Thanks

    Good luck with the drive take your time and do not push the old hauler to hard. I can't think of any real good stops on I80 besides Bonneville as I prefer taking I10 or I40

    ...didn't you just buy your ramp truck off of EBay? I was watching the auction.

    while you are in Reno, go to the Summit Racing store in Sparks.

    Don't miss the chance to get out on the Salt at Bonneville. Even if it's not speedweek, it's an historical place like no other. Ande while in Wendover, check out the old Air Base where the Enola Gay trained, there's some great vintage tin in the area. The "Con-Air" cargo plane is there and you can now go inside it.
