AJ - We might have 2 extra seats. I'll let you know by tonight or tomorrow. I'm a little unsure if I'm even going right now. I have the time off work, and I really want to go. But I hurt my back pretty bad a week ago, and I'm still recovering. It was a pinched sciatic nerve (pretty fucking painful too) and I'm just now getting to where I can move around without discomfort. My car absolutely needs an alignment before I do anything with it, and we're not even sure if I can get it on the trailer yet. Basically, I'm incredibly unprepared due to all the time I wasted with hurting my back and being imobile. If I can get on the alignment rack tomorrow and if my car can get on the trailer without too much trouble, then all should be well. If not, I may pass on going.
So, how low is your trailer AJ?

Paul, 2 extra seats would be awesome! LMK as soon as you can. My trailer is roughly 20" off the ground. But the ramps I have are 6 ft. and slide out from under the deck. I've never had a problem with anything yet, but if need be I also have 5 ft. ramp extensions here too, but I've never used them. Your car IS pretty low, but we can def. make it work. I also have a 10k lb quick lift jack on the front of the trailer, that can be used to lift the front of the trailer about 2 additional feet to aid with loading. Easily supporting the weight of your car too. I've actually lifted the tires of my dad's F350 off the ground with it while attatched to the trailer. To be fare, I offered you the trailer first, but someone else is possibly interested in using it too, so let me know if you'll need it soon, so I can pass the word.

Got the car on the trailer, so I'm good to mgo there. It did take 2 sets of ramps and an incline though. Still need to get a 4-wheel alignment tomorrow and I'll be all set. Also, AJ, turns out that Sewey wont be able to drive his 2G, so him and his chick are riding in the tow truck with us. Sorry man, I tried. I hope you guys can still make it. Dan might have some room in his truck, but I'm not completely sure about that.

Paul i duno if you realize but i think there is a hill you can back the tailor into @ the campgrounds to help get the car off. Its between the campground and hotel- I can show you what I mean if im there before you.

It should work well enough, but if it doesn't, I'll come find you.

It's all good Paul. I had a few other options just in case anyway. All of which fell through today, so I'll be driving my dad's gas mileage car, a Ford Aspire. Should be able to get to the shootout and back for about $20 in gas though Connie and I will be meeting everyone at Aldi's in GR at 8:30. EDIT: scratch that. Ben called me about 10 minutes after posting this, and Connie and I are now just going to ride with him
