Hi Steve,
That should be an *very* interesting trip!  And a memorable experience. 
What kind of exhaust does it have?  Street or racing?  Nearly 2600 miles 
should be quite a break in run!

I love the idea of driving a competition car on the street ;-) but my taste 
run more toward C or D Jaguars, 250 Ferrari's, 100-4's, etc.

Good luck - will you be sending us a running commentary of your adventure? 
I bet you'll end up with some great stories!

It's registered in the State of Illinois as street legal, and I plan on 
putting WA plates on it. J

And we WILL be wearing helmets for the whole drive. J

Should be wicked fun on a track, but terrifying surrounded by SUV's on the 
highway :)  Will you drive it back and leave it unregistered as a track only

vehicle?

Definitely a toy car of the 1st order... I was kinda hoping it was an Ascari

or Pagani to be honest.  Some of us will be lucky to get a nice tie for 
Father's day :)  Honestly I am hoping for an iPad :)

You need to make the cross country video (helmets not allowed)...

Nice,
