    I'd like to go, but without a co-pilot or two to split costs with, it's a nonstarter. Last year's long haul cost me about $1500. About 2/3 was gas. This year I figure at least 3000 miles there and back.

    Money's pretty tight right now, but I keep it in mind. Last year I stayed at the Hawthorn Suites near the GM Tech Center in Warren. I think I paid less than $90 through Hotels.Com. It had a little kitchen, living room and bedroom. Nice place.

    I fully intend on running at least Stillwater to DFW, I may start a day earlier in Miami OK if I can. If I don't get to go this year I'm going to pitch a fit a toddler would be jealous of.

    I take it you are planning to take in some of the pre-Power Tour events going on in the Detroit area that week?

    It looks unlikely given my finances. I have to get a crown put on another tooth. That's all out of my pocket since I don't have dental. Maybe I'll be in a better position for Drag Week.
