2013 Haspin dates/info/attendance

[Westech]

6 and a half? try 12 to 14. Your not going to make it fast even in a 900 with big tires. I come from madison and with a MV have never done it faster then 12.
That is dropping down I39 (only one toll) and hitting 70 East all the way in.
You DO NOT want to take 90/94 thru Chicago. DONT! MV's dont fit very well and the 100+ bucks in tolls are not good. I bypass that hole every time now. Its more miles to drop south then over but time, fuel, money, is way less. If there is any hick up in Chicago you can double your road time flat.

Wow, yeah I'm wrong. It takes us 8+ hours to get to Louisville. Was thinking something else, I guess. As for going through Chicago, we are not too worried about it. Yeah the tolls suck but we brought three M931's back through there on our way back from Michigan. Only hit 20 minutes of rush hour as you can see from the pic. Was fun actually. Got a lot of thumbs up!

[Durango_USMC]

I'll be there with M1008 and ATV

On a side note... Make sure you guys are running within the letter of the law on these. I dont think there will be any issues as most of us here are pretty responsible. Just a friendly reminder, especially combination vehicles.

[maddawg308]

I'm planning on bringing a CUCV M1009 but that's dependent on a couple bonuses that I am still waiting on. If that falls through, I'll just be towing a M101 to sleep in.

It seems to me that for whatever reason Haspin isn't drawing many people at least by the looks of this thread.
