Nice,

Lets see how far I can get home without trailer support:

Willow Springs to 92530 - 143 mi
Pamona Fairplex to 92530 - 53 mi
Qualcom San Diego to 92530 - 83 mi
Fontana Speedway to 92530 - 58 mi
El Torro, Irvine to 92530 - 45 mi Via the Ortega "Twisties" highway no less....BONUS!

Did I miss any PCA favorites under 200 mi?

Wow AAA $78/year membership should do the trick (100mi tows) until I go to Willow and beyond .

How many tows am I allowed per year? 4 tows for free.

This could work out pretty good.



Hmmmmm, I've flown my Motor Glider over Willow a few times and never even realized it....isnt there a little airport real close by?

Lone Pine going North....too far north of Willow?


Tehachapi area too far North I guess

Yep,
I have AAA Premier with 200mi limit and they flat bedded my car from Willow Springs once. I had an 80 mph "agricultural excursion" and tapped one of my radiators on a gator on the way out just enough to cause a leak. No other damage to the car but my student got an "E" ticket ride going backwards in the dirt. He still likes to tell the story. I wish he would stop telling the story already.

The other nice thing about PCA is a "No one left behind policy". If your car is down and you don't have a trailer, someone with a trailer and a street legal car will always give you a lift.

Going out to WSIR this weekend for a PCA Time Trial. It looks like hot weather so a personal best lap is unlikely but we dare to dream. All fresh fluids, fresh filters, fresh alignment and the Data logger is primed.

I was able to get AAA to tow my Boxster (after breaking a control arm on lap 1 at the track . ), and it wasn't even my subscription! 70 mile tow, and it only cost $100, since we had to upgrade my friends AAA service to Premier to get the 100 mile towing... Still significantly cheaper than the $420 for the next closest quote!

What are you flying? Looks like it could be a Sonex Xenos or is it something old and rare?
