Ok, I'll ask him. He's only done one D.E. which was where we met you. How does he get to the point where he doesn't have to have an instructor with him? We're new to D.E.'s . .

Yeah, when he did the open track/ D.E. day at Road Atlanta, all the instructors knew him so they put him in the solo advanced group (Or whatever the name). How hard would it be to prove it to them?

Well thats a more interesting track then Pocono, sadly I don't have that kind of time to travel there. I would invite Joe but its a advanced open track day, I will get him up there for the first HPDE, he would like it a lot

Just stay in the far right or left lane (dont worry about anyone else), and take your time, this prevents you from having to constantly be watching both sides because the trailor can go from one side to the other with a slight wheel adjustment. Let the fast people get mad and go around.
In fact you can start your point by's on the trip down.
Other than getting the car on and off the trailer at the start point and the destination, it's just like any other trip, just keep your level of alertness a little higher.

Martin, I will go over the trailer with you! YOU MUST make sure you take the Commercial roads, no parkways & follow the comercial trucks threw the bridges. The trailer is wide & wont fit threw some of the toll booths..Trust me 
..follow the 18 wheeler 
...tom
