1600 miles from central NY to Freestone for the national in 2009. 26 hours 1 way in a converted Little Debbie box van delivery truck with 2 blown front shocks. Every time we stopped and got out, it was like we just got off a boat.
I'm dumb enough to do it all over again.

Ohio to Orlando for the River Ranch GNCC then hit the Georgia GNCC on the way back, 2200 miles round trip. Ran the entire series in 2008 and 2009, about 12,000 miles each year on the rig.

Driven from Cleveland, Ohio to FLA several times for races, but that's during the winter up here so it's also like a nice warm vacation.

My truck and trailer have driven from Cleveland, Ohio to Mammoth Lakes, CA for Mammoth 2004, but I paid someone to drive it out there and pick me up at the airport!

Dallas to Lakewood for the MXdN. 15 hour drive, left at 6pm Sunday after the race and drove through the night so we could go to work/class the next morning. Monday was a bitch and worth every minute and penny.

1586 miles straight from Jersey to Lake Whitney. Took me a little over 24 hours. (in a 34 ft motorhome and 20 ft trailer). Was always good for the power drive while the rider and mechanic slept! Whistling

400 miles from Pismo Beach to Vegas a couple times but I'll be upping that one going from Vegas up to Pismo to meet with some friends and then off to Hangtown next weekend. 725 miles one way.

Kind of off topic but, looking to take a trip to either Redbud or Millville this summer, which one would you guys recommend? I am from Minnesota originally so I could see family while I'm there also. I know its probably not even in question (Redbud) but figure I may as well ask.

Sorry to hijack the thread a little.
