F-1 Journey or Nightmare? DC-Montreal-Indy-DC, Debating whether I should take the 914 Options

[NEU]

Hey Guys,
I'm trying to finger out if my 914 will make My Formula One Journey, from DC to Montreal for the race in June and then to Indy for the USGP and back.

I've got my first 914 less than a year-ago, a nice original condition 1970, w/140k? Used but never abused by the second owner who has owned it since '71, it was stored every winter since the early 80's where it also was cared for every season. I've done the fluids and the engine is not leaking oil from anywhere, I know it needs a valve adjustment, a lot of the rubber is shot, needs new fuel line, brake lines and pads and CV joints boots. I've replaced all the engine and trany mounts with Poly and Nylon ones, Short shift and new shifter bushings, electronic ignition, hi voltage coil and wires. I've got a Bursch glass pack on it, and I'm replacing the oil bath air filter with a homemade cone filter. Oh and last but not least 8 spoke clones w/Yoko AVS, LE front spoiler and Mono wheel... javascript:emoticon(';)')

Its about 600 miles from DC to Montreal a 10 hour drive, another 600 mile (10 hours) to Detroit (hitting the Ford Museum) 300 mile from Detroit to Indy, then the last leg back home is 600 mile.

So what should I focus on to make sure is working properly and should I bring (like spare belt, hose) on this trip so I don't have to sit with my baby by the side of the road (and I don't mean my girlfriend). javascript:emoticon(':o') Should I have spare fuel pump or alternator, any other fuel injection parts? I'm thinking other than a seal blowing or throwing a rod, losing a gear or something major I could do most of the work on the side of the road. And what about driving long distances with the 914 is it OK does it over heat do I need to give it cool down rests along the way or am I good to go for 10 hours or less depending on the speeds javascript:emoticon(':D')


Anyone know of any good repair shops along the route, just in case... javascript:emoticon(':(')

Any help would be great, I know about cars, just not ones with out coolant and don't know about its quarks yet....

Well the USGP is the weekend before July 4 so its sound like I'm going to have a CRAZY 3 week trip... All of us going are pumped and we still have 6 MONTHS to go! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)

Anyone else going to the USGP? I was hoping you guys could take me away from the BMW crowd this year...(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) What does the Porsche crowd do there?

Just need to get some last minute reservations made and we are set... Then get my car sorted!
