Personally Id rather spend the extra to get off the road sooner

While we were down there at Florence and after Joel told us of his misfortune I figured Id take the slow route home and do the speed limit. My F150 with the toyhauler and 2 bikes comes in at about 12000.
I was getting 7.8 to 8 mpg where ever I went. Not knowing that I was supposed to stay at 60 I drove at 70.
Coming home, I kept it right at 55 in Oregon and 60 in Washington.
And I got 9.1 MPG coming home.
So, for me the trip down to Florence and back was about 680 miles.
Going slower saved me 13 gallons of fuel. About $35 bucks.

I misread your post about the new team member at the barn (thinking employee) like your McDonalds team.
Anywho, Gregg talked with a few people about bringing on a 250R rider for the Quad Team. (as there are still alot racing out there) after much discussion, Justin was at the top of the list. He gets pants, jersey, gloves, a jacket and beenie. His discount is less than the typical race team discount. (he and Bobby know this)
The last I knew, you still had Ride motorsports as a shop sponsor for DJ. Is this not true for the year? Let me know.
