Name/number of a good towing service near Cecil raceway

[Purvis]

Since my car is not a trailor queen (and hopefully never will be), and actually goes back and fourth to the track under its own power, this is an important question :D

If anything breaks, it would be a good idea to have a back up plan when Im at this track..
Keep in mind they would have to be available 5-10 and hopefully be on the reasonable side..
As far as where I would have it towed to.. hmm... Any ideas? I was thinking Rhodes...

Thanks everyone.

CCR Towing to the CCR Performance shop?

When I broke 3 times in one season (all at Cecil), I got the guy with the pickup truck tow rig to call his boss who rollbacked me home at a reasonable price...

After the 3rd time, I realized it was stupid to own a 500rwhp car and be too cheap to buy a trailer...While it's cool being able to say you drive the car to the track...It definitely isn't cool sitting there like an idiot waiting for a tow truck...JMO...A trailer is one of those dragstrip necessities that you hate to buy, but when you break, you're glad you have.

OK Eric. Thanks!

Bob,

Name/number? Thats exactly what Im looking for incase of an emergency.

Bob..I 100% see your point, but I simply dont race enough to warrant the purchase of a trailor for my 94'.. IMO, its stupid to buy a trailor for a car that gets raced maybe twice a year as is the case with my car.. (Or less depending on its state of functionality..) I would much rather get it towed once or twice a year in the event of a thermal nuclear meltdown, than have to contend with a trailor and a truck, all the time.
My cars sees at least 100 times more street duty than it does the track.
In the future, this car will probably see less and less track duty. I just like haveing ridiculous amounts of hp on the street.

I only race as a hobby. I dont pretend to be a professional. If I were raceing frequently, or happened to be raceing professionally, or had some other reason for being much more serious than I am, I would of course buy a trailor like others have.

And by the way, Ive watched Eric go 10s I think at 4 different Nats now, and he drove to everyone :) Which always impressed me. And didnt you drive Big Bird to and from the last Nats and run in the 11's? That was impressive too.

But the occasional Nats race and street nights at Atco just dont make a case for me to want a trailor. I honestly will never have a trailor, unless I buy some kind of concours show car in the future, which I seriuously doubt.

Chris, No name and number is needed. If the track is OPEN, the tow truck guy is there, period. The track cannot/will not race without the tow truck on the property. He can simply call another rig in to tow you home, if you should need to be towed...Very simple process...Don't over-complicate it. :wink:

Car looks good BTW...

Overcomplicate things? Who me?? :wink:
Thats good to know that somebody is there. Hopefully I wont need him, but just incase.

Since it was supposed to be nice today, I drove it in to work again today on my half an hour commute, ET streets, skinnies and all.... After the Kauffman's tune, this car is extremely streetable now. Best the car has ever driven on the street. Im extremely impressed and happy with the way the car drives. And the SPEC stage 3 clutch is not bad at all, now that it is broken in.. Pedal effort is just as light as my King Cobra was. 80% of the cluth chatter that was there when it was new, is gone, now that I have 1,000 miles on it. :lol: And the best thing is the cluth is good for 700 hp :lol:

Scott,
I was thinking about tonight or Friday, to try and dial this thing in. Ive got tons of new parts Im going to be trying out. (Note to self: I have to remeber to fill that damn airbag)

Haveing lots of HP can be fun on the street. Ive been haveing a bitch of a time getting the drive-ability to the point where I could live with it though.. REcently I had a custom chip burned at Kauffman's and they did a great job of dialing it in for me.. It finnally idles right and feels pretty good at part throttle.

Before the chip, the car was a nightmare to drive.
