One MAJOR issue to consider is that Colo and Utah ALWAYS do road maintenance in summer. I drove through Moab a few years ago, using back roads, in a brand new black Nissan 300ZX. Road oil and tar completely ruined it. Took weeks to get that crap off. finish was never the same! Also, you can't plan on making good time on I-70, since they are always working on it in summertime. I used to go back to Ks every summer; what a headache. I'll look at your course on a map.

Ohhhh sooo true Paul, last year on our trek in "Slingshots Across America" as soon as we got into UT from NV we hit 3 road work stops that closed to 1 lane and they where minimum 10-15min waits, but fortunately no fresh oily tar;I guess it'll be part of the adventure, hopefully google maps (most accurate) will let us know of any construction or closures along the way.
As we get closer to travel dates I'll contact DOT Road Conditions to see if there's any major road work on any of our routes. -

Keep an eye on the weather, if there's monsoon cells it'll hit Flag and all the way north if it's from the East. -

I'm on the fence about it...I think mostly cause the design is similar to a top that I was working on before my fabrication guy took off in the middle of making it. I like the price point...wish it were about $100 less...but it's definitely better overall than what's out there price wise. If I can get one in the next 3-4 weeks I'd be very interested in buying one.Sent from my LG-H872 using Polaris Slingshot Forum mobile app
