Re: Advice on Fallon to Denver Racetrack?
Hi John,
I've towed east on I-70 up and over through the Eisenhower Tunnel at 11,000 feet plus. I don't think that I would do that again.. Bob

Re: Advice on Fallon to Denver Racetrack?
John,
All good advice. I've done I-70 both ways in a Class A towing a truck. It was OK just a long tow. I've done I-80 to and from Utah from my house 20 miles south of Denver towing a 34 foot 5th wheel trailer with my Ram 3500 diesel. Much easier drive. Hope to see you and Jon on Saturday.

Re: Advice on Fallon to Denver Racetrack?
The Fast Lane Truck has a YouTube channel that has a lot of videos of loaded trucks pulling the gauntlet up to the Eisenhower tunnel, plenty doable but your rig needs to be in good shape. Recommend the channel, they have some interesting road tests.

Re: Advice on Fallon to Denver Racetrack?
I totally agree on taking 80! 70 is rough and the grades and curves at speed are brutal!

Re: Advice on Fallon to Denver Racetrack?
We took 80.....
Quit a bit of Road Construction but easy trip! In Fallon we were only 25 - 30 miles from 80 = probably only 50 miles longer than 50 to 70. We will see everyone tomorrow afternoon.
