i'm trailering & leaving on Friday morning. It's gonna **** having to get up that early but it's only about two hour drive for me.

That's what I do every time. Actually you get there faster, because at 4:00am you have no cars on the road. Going down there the day before can be rough. I just leave my place at 3:30 and I get there in time.

Don't forget the time change.

John, most people go up there the day before. It's a good idea given you can get a good nights sleep. As I mentioned above, I drive down there the day of, it's just less work and I get there in 2 hours.

About half of the peopletrailer, mostly because they want to carry tools and wheels with them. It's not far away at all, so driving your Viper down there isn't bad. If this was putnam I'd advise towing since it's a lot further. South Haven isn't terribly far.
