The way I read it in another thread he is driving his car and the trailer is a secure parking place at night.

Was it 2 or 3 years ago we had thieves hit a hotel at the year one event. They took the truck, trailer and car all together.


I'm heading up Saturday morning, and doing the long haul. I have been to busy to get pics of the car. It's Semi-gloss black primer, with a big dent in the passenger quarter panel.

that is correct - can you imagine the surpise of opening a trailer after you have stolen it with some really pissed off car owner slinging 40 cal and 223 lead at you and he had called 911 and there is a line of cops following you. probably best to run to the cops and beg them to protect you at that point. lol

not a good way to start your car jacking morning off

I had a great time on this years tour. I worked on my car a LOT, as it had only 190miles when we started at Madison. Mostly shaking out the bugs, things coming loose, etc.

Racine was beautiful, but like a dustbowl on the lake. At least it wasn't cold and wet like Madison.

Going to South Bend was fun - Charles Kwas was racing me in his '68 Corvette 383 with our 5-speed. I was streaming the video live back to the company so they could check it out real time. We also did the Hot Rod photo and driving shoot with David Freiburger that stop.

Detroit Metro Park was fun once I drove through 2 hours of miserable Detroit traffic. Hot Rod magazine's publisher group had a BBQ-beer, and it was good eating and talking. Vic Edelbrock and his daughter (sorry I can't remember her name at the moment) were there. I got a speeding ticket as I was leaving the park. Fortunately the judge cut me a little slack and reduced the fine to just $120.

Most fun stop was Dayton - nice day, lots of our customers cars at our booth & lots of videos of them including Dave and Anthony's '69 Chevelle mega block doing a mega burnout. Got to hang out with a 2nd owner of a real '70 Hemicuda 4-speed Dana car. He's had the car since the mid 70s. Steve Allan has his way cool '78 Corvette with his incredible hand painted flames with a skull on the hood. Hadn't seen any flames that cool since Ian Zierring's Overhaulin' '68 Camaro.

Somerset was a washout - by the time I was getting close it was raining so hard that I kept on going towards Bristol, and made a pitstop at my shop to work on the Kuda some more, but on a lift!

Bristol was fun at the Racetrack - I did a few exhibition passes to try and work out some details on a new calibration. Got a 3 angle video of the Kuda going down the track (see it on the A-41 install video on www.keislertv.com)

Looking forward to next year!
