Longest Street Drive in SLC

[Ricardo Montalvo]

What's the longest 1 way drive you've taken in your SLC on the street (not race miles)?

Does anyone have a road trip planned with their SLC this year?

I've only gone a couple of miles in mine since my interior wasn't installed. I'm planning on besting that this Spring.

I've wondered about that as well. Watching the drag week guys drive their 7 second cars across the country pulling trailers with their race parts and luggage. Is there anything that's been done by anyone to do something similar? I back half trailer would be cool, back in my 3000gt days a guy took a wrecked 3000gt and hacked it up making a trailer out of the back of the car, painted it to match his car and got the same wheels on his car for it, it was a sight to see going down the highway for sure!

I'm planning to do the Hot Rod Power Tour in 2015, hopefully that will work out.

In my cobra I went from Toronto to Lake George NY, took backroads and it was an 8hr trip.
Cheers Ray

Sounds like a cannonball run to me. Check the precautions the record holder took and when they actually released results a year later....

About 20 miles......I get nervous after the time it broke down 1 mile from my property :undecided:

Last year, I drove mine down to the Cresson track, about 100mi. Then had 5 stints on track probably 100mi, then drove back that day. so roughly 300mi. When i got home, I could've done it again if there was daylight...

I did 1700 miles in Australia and thankfully only saw 1 roo and 2 koalas while driving. Both at night, first koala was walking exactly right down the white centerline, the second which i came across 1 minute later was sitting on the same centerline. There was a full size big rig that has just passed the second one and didn't hit it, this gave me hope that the first one would not be road kill in a few seconds from then. Those animals are really smart or really lucky!

"Longest Street Drive in SLC":

I will usually go out on weekends when the weather is nice/dry and put about 60-80 miles on the SLC. The longest outing was about 130 miles out in the country. I do not drive the SLC in normal traffic and luckily the country roads start right outside the rear exit of the neighborhood - only one stop light.

That sounds really interesting, Fran.

Are you going for mpg?

 

[Fran Hall RCR]

Coast to coast with no fill ups...sealed tanks.....

We will stop as there is no need to drive straight through...this has been on the cards for over a year...just finishing up the car and starting the test runs.

 

[Pat Buckley]

Two 40 gallon tanks?

 

[Fran Hall RCR]

In an SLC.?....its not a tanker truck.
