No one drives that distance, all teams from PNW (and I'd hazard west coast) fly.

Usually there are a few convoys with pit stuff ect. but no students.

Buses aren't the only option

Ryan... AMAZING they can afford all those airplane tickets for students, mentors, school administration, team-parents... and then transportation (local bus?) around hotels and meals... AND they can get someone to trailer their equipment to St. Louis and back.

They must be spending per team in the $15,000.00-$20,000.00 range just for transportation if they're taking their entire teams to CHAMPS!

Yep - I don't know of anyone who drove their entire team from the PNW to St. Louis this year. There were several teams who drove trailers and rented out space to other teams (our forklift didn't fit in our crate, so we sent it with 1510), but everyone else flew.

It ain't cheap goin' to champs from the PNW!
