942 miles in 13 hours

[the only couch rider]

is it possible

[SuperJETT]

Yes.

[WaveDemon]

yes if you can average 72.4615384615/hr

plan on cruising over 90/hr when ever you get a chance

good luck!

[the only couch rider]

that was giving myself a cushion, i could do it in under twelve if i really pushed it

[Big Kahuna]

don't be bitter because you can't go

[GDFL]

With a good radar detector and not getting caught up in the permanent road construction that seems to be going on in Georgia, maybe you'll do it.

[yamaslut]

we did 550mi in 7hrs in a van and we were not really hauling ass...

you got it dan.

[Jr.]

Last year we made it from NJ to Daytona in a little over 14 hrs.....
That was pulling my big enclosed !

You should be able to do it in 13!!!!
Leave about 10 at night & do the majority of the driving in the dark.......
Your only poential bottleneck will be around Jacksonville that way.


If you go thru Baltimore / DC during the wrong hours, you will kill your time!!


Hurry!!! I'll have CL's waiting!! :biggthumpup:

[the only couch rider]

i'll bring your scrapple, pork roll and pretzels with me, and maybe if your lucky a breakfast sandwich from that place on the way into seaside on the right hand side

[feartheride]

Don,t mean to be a hater but i don,t think you can average those kind of speeds

[the only couch rider]

me and jetboy1004 made it to atlanta from my place in jersey in 10.5 hours and that was 802 miles.......

[Whtbread]

You can do it but I think I would bring a get out of jail free card with you just incase.

[63chevyll]

that sounds right, 10.5 hrs for 802, thats haulin.

you might need a empty bottle of the drainage

FOP plates so i already got that covered

[T-bone]

hell, i made it from key west back home to laneir in just under 12 hours once.....after that anything is posible.......to do it there will be times you need to go close to 100.

[T-bone]

so how i dont think "fop" plates will do you any good.

[the only couch rider]

they have worked so far and keywest to lanier in 12 hours is about right..... i was 4 hours from key west and 8 from lanier so 12 seems right

[Shonuff]

Get yourself the MP3 of Jerry Reed's "East Bound and Down" from Smokey and the Bandit, and you should make it no problem.

They're thirsty in Atlanta . . . and there's beer in Texarkana.
And we'll bring it back no matter what it takes . . .

[Matt_E]

Buford T. Justice. Nice.

Anyways, 1000 miles in 13 hours is pretty damn good time.
I drove 2000 miles in 31 hours. That was pulling 1500lbs of Brapple with my fourbanger Ranger, across the continental divide though.

[Whtbread]

That handsome devil Bandit

[Rickster]

so how i dont think "fop" plates will do you any good.

In many States you have to be an active LEO to have these plates. Not in Florida, and I don't think you have to be in Georgia.

[Alex]

im figuring 14 at the most im pulling an enclosed with 8 skis

[the only couch rider]

[feartheride]

What are fop plates

[Whtbread]

Fraternal Order of Police

[LisaLisa]

I'll kick your ass all over the place time travel-wise Dan....

Sacramento, CA to Ormond Beach, FL = 2,881 miles in about 12 hours.

And that includes the time it'll take to rent something really cheezy to drive over from the airport ;)

Do I win a prize for (I think) being the one to travel the furthest?

your flying, i'm driving big difference

[LisaLisa]

Hey - I'm also transfering onto a flight that originates in San Diego, CA...which just happens to have three guys, who I'm sure will be more than a handful (I can just see us all now onthe show "Airplane" in the segment titled "Naughty Drunken Jet Skiers Force Emergency Landing").

Don't I get any credit for that?

only if someone ends up in jail during that part of the trip

[hangtime]

You gonna bring a peecan with you ?? if so I hope it's a big one :cool2:

The quickest I did Mass to Daytona was 19-1/2 hrs and 1150 miles and I did it by myself the whole way without sleep .It sucked :banghead:

[TB]

i did grand rapids michigan to orlando florida last year in 21 hours hung there for 4 hours then headed home ..made it back in just over 18 hours...i was cruizin close to 80 the whole way..but on the way down we did get stuck in atlanta in the middle of the night for 3 hours due to a rollover fatality accident on 75 right in front of us.....so bout 18 hours drive time each way and its somewhere around 1500 miles each way.....btw...drove straight through...no sleep...not recomended

[djkorn1]

Usually Canadian Steve wins the farthest drive....

Your not drivin, lisalisa, I don't know if you count.
:cat37:

[LisaLisa]

I said "Traveled" ;-)~

Why should I be penalized for being smart enough to book a flight?

[T-bone]

they have worked so far and keywest to lanier in 12 hours is about right..... i was 4 hours from key west and 8 from lanier so 12 seems right
if you know the key west...the first 125 miles is 25mph..."key deer"....so you have to make up the time by driving like a madman.

you go form doing 80-90 on the florida turnpike to almost nothing on US1

[felix5oh]

As a trucker i will tell you ,yes it's doo-able. Late night and early morning driving will have the least amount of people. The afternoons and evenings will bring out more peolpe out onto the road.

I haul big boats for a living and in the big rig i usually drive for about 4 hours, take a break then drive another 4 then break again. Dont stop too often, you'll lose alot of time.

Personally, i made it to Florida from DC in 15 hours but i'm sure the big rig went slower than your car with trailered skis.

[djkorn1]

It all depends on the amount of baked goods in your suitcase! :biggrin: :rolleyes: :bs2:

Dont speed in tift county, GA. Trust me. Its like 1hr from the GA/FL border.

[T-bone]

[Alex]

[the only couch rider]
