show season and gas prices

who else is staying home this summer just had a kid and bought a house i dont think we will be going nowhere but indy this year

ya i'm in dayton, oh and plan to drive the dime with the new v8 in it to tennesee a couple times, southwest kentucky, michigan, and indy. i keep thinking how much more in debt i can get with the price of gas, show entrance fees, hotels, alcohol, tickets, etc....

oh well, i'm die hard and have already decided i will be payin bills for the rest of my life. what's a few more bills, as long as i'm enjoyin the scene in a badass truck with cool friends.

i feel ya on the everything hitting ya at once plus gas prices. Hell the chevy dealership down here has a sale going 30-40% off all trucks. Sounds good but no one can afford the gas at $4 a gallon.

I'll go to local shows but as far as anything out of state goes you can probably count me out. When its cost more to drive there than staying for a whole weekend I have to draw the line.

ill be hitting up both coasts this summer

needless to say im glad i decided not to do the v8 conversion on the runner! the 4 banger can take me long ways on the cheap gas!

I hit 19 or 20 shows last season including Indy, Missouri, Connecticut twice, North Carolina twice, New York, Pennsylvania, Jersey etc. etc.

This season I am looking at cutting back to 13-14 shows. I know I won't be back out as far as Missouri or Indy this year. Connecticut probably only once, who knows.

Thank god for my 4 cylinder mini and my 4 cylinder daily!!!!

Think of how this effects companies like Drop Em Wear who are at shows EVERY WEEKEND... and all over the damn place. Those guys deserve a hell of a lot of credit!

im gonna cut back some.. and the ones i do go to i will be driving the mitsubishi to.. no trailoring

I'm not even putting insurance back on my truck for the summer. just gonna keep it home and tear it apart. figured now is a good time to start a back half and motor swap

yea i went to like 14 last year with a a trailer screw that i just driving it this year..
