Re: The ONLY WAY to go Camping
Thats got to be very dangerous dragging that camper behind the camaro in a 1/4 mile ! What happens at the end when you got to slow down fast, jack-knife?

The track they ran at is an old Swedish airforce runway, built to Nato specs. The shutdown area is 1.5 mile long so he doesn't need to brake at all, just coasting to a stop. Jan |
Re: The ONLY WAY to go Camping
What about a 1974 GTO with the Camper option !!

Re: The ONLY WAY to go Camping
My idea of "roughing it" is staying at a Holiday Inn or Motel 8. Don't even need any unheated accommodations with no dumper or showers.

Re: The ONLY WAY to go Camping
In 1991 I participated in "One Lap of America". One of the entries was the Fort Wayne In. Fire and rescue dept driving a Suburban 2500 and towing a 22 FT Boston Wahler rescue boat. They never unhooked that trailer, ran the drags with it and all the track events.
This is my idea of Camping! http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/l...treamfront.jpg This is a 1998 28ft widebody. Bought it in 2008. Lots of fun! |
Re: The ONLY WAY to go Camping
Here's how we rough it : 29' opened up, 22' closed. Full hardwall shower, porcelin marine flush toilet, everything you need and more. Two King beds, and sleeps 8-10. It is the largest tent trailer made.
http://inlinethumb27.webshots.com/49...600x600Q85.jpg Here's our V-10 gasser 362hp and 457tq, loaded with everything. I know it would boil the tires pulling the trailer, I just have to get the photo op. The truck is an '08 with 28,000 miles on it. Rick http://inlinethumb56.webshots.com/49...600x600Q85.jpg http://inlinethumb20.webshots.com/50...600x600Q85.jpg I had to post this one also. It is our favorite place to go to at 8500' altitude. 12-17" Rainbow trout are the normal there. I got lucky in taking this picture, and think it came out great. http://inlinethumb15.webshots.com/51...600x600Q85.jpg |
Re: The ONLY WAY to go Camping

Re: The ONLY WAY to go Camping

Re: The ONLY WAY to go Camping
I was going to restore this but someone had to have it way worse than me, looking back I wish I would have kept it.

Re: The ONLY WAY to go Camping
Beater, that is cool! but that has some serious rear overhang, bet the front end was really light causing steering joys!

Re: The ONLY WAY to go Camping
I got it from a tow yard for 1000.00 cant remember it had like 20k original miles but it sat out side its whole life and the camper had issues..
