[DeTomaso] POCA Fun Rally - NorCal & Northern Nevada Pantera transport to event

[Julian Kift]

Michael,
 
Yes great points, that is round trip price. It appears no one locallly does enjoy the drive as I can't find anybody planning to drive their car. 
 
The counter most owners will probably argue is that they still need to get to their butt's to Phoenix, but from Reno at least US Airways flys direct and a round trip fare ticket is $188.
 
If I took my truck/trailer I'm gonna get 6-7 mpg and it's a 1200 mile round trip, so there's $800 in fuel right away, but that is for 2 cars.

I have no horse in the race but is that round trip to and from the event?


If so, it would be prudent for those deciding to also deduct the fuel and hotel cost
when making that decision.


If your trip is 900 miles and your Pantera gets 15 mpg at 4.50 per gallon,
that's 270.00 in fuel each way plus your hotel costs.


So the carrier is a little less than 800.00 and you get 4 days of your life back
and less wear and tear on your car.


Then of course there are those who love the driving /road trip aspect of the whole adventure.

I had a number of people ask me whether I had spare room in my trailer to haul their car to Phoenix. Unfortunately it is a 2 car hauler and I intended to take the GT5 and DP-03 for the track day.

As far as I am aware no one else from Reno-Tahoe Pantera's is planning on taking their Pantera to Phoenix.

Reliable Carriers recently delivered the DP car to me and that got me thinking, so I obtained a quote from them to transport Pantera's to Phoenix for the Fun Rally. The quote is based upon two pick up/drop off locations;  Sacramento area (somewhat flexible) and Reno area and we would need 6 Pantera's to fill the hauler.

The round trip cost to arrive April 25th and leave April 29th is a few bucks under $9,000, so split 6 ways $1,500 per car. Based on that cost I'd like to gauge how much interest is there from PCNC or RTP members for this option?
