Hay 50 is not bad, we have a month to go plus those who just show up.
At least with 50 I will get to meet everyone and look at all the cars. I would suggest that it will not go over 75, that's what we figured when we started all this. But then what did we know, it has been a learning experience for sure. Now what I do know is that we are going to have a few days that we will remember the rest of our life.

No, I think 50 is a good number for a single "model" event. However, I would not complain if it ends up closer to 100.

There is no clue how many yet. I'm sure that the price of gas has had an effect though.
Sure is nice to get someplace north of 30 per on the spridgets though.

The price of gas is another reason that I'm not towing.

I figure, towing, the gas will run just shy of $1000 for me.

The price of gas is another reason that I'm not towing. How far is the trip for you trevor? Its a long way for me or I would drive too. I think with the Ranger pulling the midget I should get at least 20mpg. I used to get around 17 pulling the camper and it weighed about a ton and had much more aero drag than a spridget behind the pickup.

Only 450 miles for me, but my only possible tow vehicle is a Ford Escape that gets about 18 MPG towing a spridget. A quite frankly, it doesn't tow it that well (automatic trans)
If I drive my sprite in a sensible fashion I should get 30 MPG. Not a big savings, but every little bit helps. Plus, I'd like to get some road grime on the Ugly Bug to enhance its "theme".

I fully expect you trailering guys to bring plenty of spare parts and tools to help bail out those of us that couldn't fit spare half shafts into our cars.
