How far is any one driving to a DE? I drive to Autocross events there a 36 mile drive one way. The closest DE is 90 miles one way. the average for me is 200- 300 miles. So I bought a light trailer and tow my car.

Typically varies from 20 to 350 miles depending on the track. Might drive the 700 miles to Miller Motorsports Park this fall.

I typically drive up to 200 miles each way on NT-01s. If going to Miller I would probably drive there on street Kooks and have someone transport tires for me at a small beer fee. Simpler and much less hassle than a trailer, tow vehicle etc.
