289_FIA,
Hehehehehehe.... well now that you mention it...Just to give you a quick heads up on this particular topic of interest, you are engaging yourself here into possible exciting discussion with a few or more attendees if you are concerned about only driving only 450 miles, with a car that has already been on the road at least 200+ miles
We had at least 10 people last year with last minute cars who arrived after doing final construction/assembly THE DAY and NIGHT BEFORE THE COBRA BASH, and some driving upwards of 2,000+ miles to get there. I'm in complete awe of some of these people and their tenacity.
The passion of some of these people and their determinination to finish their cars, or upgrades, and drive their cars to WSCB is approaching the Sturgess level now. To me, this is one of the most exciting aspects about the WSCB people, and their focus and determination to attend - no matter the gamble.
The happy end to the story is they all made it.
