I think my driving limit maxes out at about 10 hours. I start getting agitated after being in a car for about 6.
My trainer did figure it up though... said the round trip would cost her something in the ballpark of $1200. She's actually trying to put together a charter bus as it's so cost prohibitive.

I max out at around 5. Going to Vegas is one of my furthest drives. And I get so dang antsy around 3 hours. lol.

I like the idea of a charter bus. Very cool. wonder how much that would cost.
 
Woops.. $1200 in gas alone :P
I think the charter bus is about the same, It would help on costs, but still not the insanity of doing a cross country drive

Will any of you be going? Or trying to go?

I may go watch since it's semi-close to me. At least it's on the West Coast.

I was hoping to try and get into that one. But I don't think I'd make it for sure. I'm not even in ExB yet. I'd need 5 Q's just to get into ExB for STD. Not to mention QQ's and the points I'd need. In 6 months? With Koji's lack of contacts? And my lack of money? yeah right. lol.

I can dream right?

I can dream for 2013, but with my luck, it'd be in the East Coast somewhere. At least the ASSA Nationals will be very close to me in....I think it was 2013. If anything, I'll try to do that and see a the beautiful Shelties.

2013, 2016 and 2019 are all in Tulsa, OK http://www.akc.org/events/agility/national_agility_championship/2011/future_dates.cfm
 
I could do without it being there... but I guess if I qualified and I had someone to go with, I'd do Tulsa. It's pushing it a bit for me on distance.
 
Reviving this thread to ask......

How do you actually get to the Nationals? I mean, let's say you accumulate your points. Do they send you an invitation of sorts, or something that says you've qualified and would you like to come? Or is it a premium, first come, first serve?

Just curious. A guy in my class is trying to get there. His Sheltie is slow, but consistent. So she has a ton of QQ's, just trying to get the points. I counted up my points for the 3 runs this past weekend. If I was actually in ExB, I would've gotten 50+ points.

So of course, I'm sitting here thinking, hey this is doable :rolleyes2:

Then I started wondering, how do people go once they get the points and QQs?

Just let me dream for a bit.
