While the Manx on the Banx 2015 is over, it is not forgotten. I have just updated the event website http://www.manxonthebanx.com with all of our Show-n-Shine winners in addition to our other event winners. There are hundreds of photos in the 2015 gallery for your enjoyment plus a day-by-day wrap-up of what went on. Please take a minute to stop by.

I've added on the event website, the long list of volunteers, sponsors, and organizers that helped facilitate this year's Manx On The Banx. Without these wonderful people and businesses the MOTB would not be successful. Thank you all! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

We just got our E-Z Pass bill for my trip from Vernon, CT to MOTB and back home in the box van with the Manxter in the back and the Manx flat towed behind it. It came to $172.13!! The only salvation was the gas was 1/2 price ( @ $2.00/gal) than in the past. But at @ 10 mpg for 1100 miles, that is about $220. You gotta realy want to go to these events, and we do! Tom

I live near the Outer Banks and went to Gloucester, MA to pick up my buggy when I bought it. We took the Expedition towing a tow dolly, so we pretty much made the same trip in reverse. We didn't have an EZ pass, so the prices were higher. I don't remember the total, but it was even worse than your total. I had expected the tolls to be high, but I was surprised at how high. I guess this is even more incentive to drive a buggy to the events rather than towing.
