Hey Rob, Did you ever participate in the Cannonball Baker Sea to Shining
Sea Memorial Trophy Dash? Started in Downtown Manhattan and would up at the
end of route 66 in California. then you could have the letters CBSTSSMTD
after your name. <Grin>

My Cousin just did the One Lap of America, http://www.onelapofamerica.com/ ,
the next best thing.
I keep thinking that there probably should be a class for the GMC, but have
read this in the rules.
"*Competing Vehicles* will be two-axle only with maximum wheelbase of 220
inches (exceptions will be made at the discretion of the organizers)."
Hmmmmm...
