The fuel price thing is CRAZY... The only way we have been able to make the trips we have is having 6 people go and split the fuel. If you have an enclosed you can build a stacker in it fairly cheap and get all the bikes there. We are lucky enough to have access to a nice coach but have also all piled into a pickup as well. Its not fun, infact it sucks ass! For me, the biggest problem is that by the time I take 2 days off of work to drive (4 days total there and back) and the 3-4 days off to race (so now at a total of 7 days away from work) its not the fuel bill that gets to be dumb its the missed wages. We have looked into shipping the bikes and flying and it seems that your out of pocket is nearly the same and often times you only miss 3 days of work so you make some of that back. Im with you though! Id love to make a Dome race this year but FACK something has to give on these fuel prices!
