If you do a little planning, you can miss all but the last toll. I've made the trip a couple of times, both from Ohio and from North Carolina. Long ride from *those* states, but otherwise I see no problem with the trip.

You Floridians are wimps! Epping is close to the ocean, so it really never gets that cold (cold is when it gets below zero, 0-32 is chilly, 32-50 is brisk, 50-75 is warm, above 75 is hot).

Ive been there twice with IHRA but your right.....Im a wuss as I hate cold weather. My X was from Hamburg Ny and I hated it there when I had to take her home for Christmas. Friggin' snow and ice.

Assuming that my beloved hound is doing ok, I will likley make the 30 something mile trek up and compete with the dakota for the last IHRA national event at Epping.......its the event that sold me on Class racing to begin with the stock and superstock cars.......
