I understand, when I would meet up with Epling and Phasthemi, it was a 14 hour drive to Kentucky, then all the racing stuff that is needed which is a shit load of work, then load up and drive home. I used to drive thru the night to get home.
The closer the car is to stock the less work is needed. Maybe get it closer to stock to reduce the work?
That is the allure of the Demon170, take it off the trailer, warm it up, check tire pressure and run it.
