Maxus 2009 Official Thread
I was just talking to my Son Jim about this today. He thinks we should go together and he is going to try and borrow a pickup and bring the car on a trailer, then I won't have to worry about breaking and not being able to drive home.
I hate going that far (10 hrs) and not trying to do my best, but I don't want to break something and not be able to make it back without spending a bundle.
Anyway we are thinking seriously about coming down. I would like to drive the car down like I usually do to other races but I don't want to come and run slow just because I am afraid of not being able to make it home. Unfortunately AAA won't tow that far.

PLEEASE come down it would make the meet complete having the fastest maxima in the world there.. I'd suggest trailering it because you never know what may happen.
Not sure if I'll make the trip out. I had promised myself that if any Maxus was 1000 miles or less that I'd be there, so that means I'd be there.
Getting time off work is no problem, just waiting for the specific dates and activities.
BTW - anybody from the midwest/Chicago area planning on being there?

so i was looking at the itinerary, is there going to be a time frame for when everything is starting? i was planning on driving down saturday but if the drag shootout starts early, i might as well drive down friday night.
^ +1 also how much to run at the track and for the dyno
it's actually not that bad lol, once you get past the first 2 1/2 hours, you get more patient instead of bored..especially if you got some good CDs to listen to.
I had to drive 7+ hours to come home last week...

Wish I cud make it
Hmm, I'd like to make it out one of these years... not sure I'll be able to get the car driveable in time for this year's though. I've got so many demands on my time and finances right now it's very difficult to do anything with the car... sigh... 
Fly in, in years past alot of people fly in just to enjoy the festivities. We have 3 airports fairly close by.
Yeah just fly over. You could teach a class or something at the bbq lol.

Friday at 7pm? hmm thats do-able.
12 hours is not bad of a ride. i took a trip to Terre Haute, IL on thursday to pick up a car. it was 14 hours one way. its easy as long as you have company.
I be there not sure if I'll spray maybe just a quick n/a pass or 2, worried that I'll break a tranny while out of AAA coverage area 
mostly likely I drive down early saturday and leave sunday night me son's brithday is the 28th

I'm from Chicago and might be making the trek out there this June even though I no longer own my Maxima anymore. Maybe the guys from Chicago and anyone along the way out there we can get a caravan going to DC/Maryland. I want this to be bigger than Chicago and especially Dallas as well.
