Been there, done that.
SLOW DOWN.

A truck does not handle well at those speeds. Some cars can do that. Some can not. A SportTrac was not designed with those speeds in mind. EMS does not like calls where they have to scrape their patients off the road.


That said, I'm travling on some Boeing product leaving Thursday am early.

Time: 6am
Method: Midnight Sun bus
Leaving From: Plantation, Florida (Motorola, located at Sunrise and University)



Many stops in between, hope we'll see some teams at the rest stops. It always scares the casual family road trippers when teams converge at a rest stop.

Sigmcats: "Heeey, its 408!! What's up TICKS!"
Roboticks: "SOAP GUYS!!!"
Meanwhile, causal family road trippers: "stay back little johnny"

As I remember Mags car is the one that slid on that turn into boardwalk not mine It handles better than most "trucks" also, but I am not stupid and I do realize its not a dragster
