Heading to NC

There is supposed to be a massive car show April 7-9 at Lowes Motor Speedway. Anyways im taking the 7 to nc with my buddies 944 and maybe my other friends 91 Eclipse. Im coming from wv to there so do you think the 7 could make it there and back? I personally think it can since runs pretty good for the most part. What are some main things i should check before making a long trip? Also are of you guys going to be attending the show? It would be sweet to meet up with some other 7 owners.

Do a full tune up and oil change before you go... Bring some extra light bulbs... Check your tires... Bring lots of gas money!

The car should not have a problem with the trip. Bring along your spares kit and some general tools, and a AAA card and you should not have a problem.

Also bring a T-shirt and a coat. the Spring autofair is never a nice temp, it is always to cold or to hot on that weekend. good shoes are also a must.

I dont have plans to go this year. Been several times.

Are you putting your car in? Most of the event is the car sale and the cars on the track are all for sale. Cars in the in-field are the ones there for show. Lots of musscle and rods.

None that I have ever seen. 20s - 40s Rods. Muscle, A few years ago they had a bunch of VW stuff. One year there was a Mercury exibit.

Met the old lady that still had her 50 Ford from new.
