Planning for a Comfortable Holiday Road Trip

(NewsUSA) - Road trips can provide a great source of tunes, good conversation and relaxation throughout any travel season. However, long hours on the road can often result in body aches, poor nutrition and other challenges for drivers stuck behind the wheel.  With the holiday travel season approaching, champion Porsche race car driver Patrick Long has developed guidelines that can help you avoid those pitfalls and make your road experience less taxing on the body.

Long, an American Le Mans Series race car driver who can be in his car for up to 12 hours at a time, recommends these tips for any kind of distance driving:
