Texas Motor Speedway Laps for Charity

pfisterlevel · 01-31-2010, 10:39 PM

On May 8th, 2010, there is another charity event at the Texas Motor Speedway. You can actually drive your own vehicle on the racetrack at approx. 85 mph. The cost is $30.00 for three laps. I know we have done this before, but since there are so many new Fanatics and some of us have new vehicles, why not do it again? I am going to bring the new "Batmobile" up there for this event. Let me know if anyone else is interested. Let's make an event out of this !!!
Our scheduled track time is 6:30 PM. This means that we must be in Lane N at 6:00pM.

Anytime we can do something for charity and enjoy our cars, trucks and bikes at the same time, it's a great event

.....wish we were not so far away.
Have fun!!

SSR Tailhook · 02-01-2010, 10:21 AM

I would be interested. Are they going to have people to take pictures like at Good Guys in Oct.? Where can we get details?

I have a schedule conflict with the monthly Late Great Chevys Cruise Night so I won't be there. I really wanted participate.

Put me on the list John !!! maybe I will take the husband in to bringing his vette!!!
we can set up a place to meet and eat

John? are you going to set up a time for the laps??

BYERS · 02-01-2010, 03:24 PM

It sounds like fun add Mike and Karyn.

pfisterlevel · 02-01-2010, 04:44 PM

I'm not good at this stuff, can anyone in the Dallas area set up something?
I know we have driven in the daytime and at nightime under the lights. Either is fine with me, but nightime was pretty cool and the temps weren't so warm.
I think there was a decent hotel close to the track also.

I agree! Us Michiganders should keep our eye on Michigan International Speedway for a similar type of event... anyone got any connections at MIS?

Double Trouble · 02-22-2010, 12:29 PM

Count me in! If you've never done this it's a blast! I did this once with a motorcycle group. We had to stay behind the pace car but after a couple of laps the pace car pulled off and motioned for us to GO FOR IT! I was on my Indian motorcyle and ran wide open for a couple of laps. It's geared for low end so I could only get it up to around 120 but that seemed a lot faster on the banked track. Lots of fun!

yellochevy02 · 02-22-2010, 02:03 PM

are we going to do a group run? i was reading on the website that you can get private laps with your group.

wildcat66 · 02-22-2010, 02:59 PM

this is a planned group run for the chairity, I am sure the other private run is set up differently, but with enough interest we could always set that up.

sangus · 02-23-2010, 07:24 PM

Then, let's set it up...a group run! Imagine all those RRRRR's, in line, like a parade lap, coming to the green...white...checker...together. Just no tradin' paint!!!!

Probably be a

one leading the pack, if you ask me.

I bet if we looked around we could find TWO SSR pace trucks

wildcat66 · 02-24-2010, 12:57 PM

at least two

how many people need hotel rooms?
Do you want to stay close to the track? or closer to where we will have Breakfast Sunday morning ?

yellochevy02 · 02-24-2010, 02:18 PM

we can let the SSR pace trucks set the pace XD

pfisterlevel · 02-24-2010, 03:39 PM

I will need a hotel room. There is a hotel close to the track that was pretty nice and had a great breakfast in the lobby each morning. I wouldn't mind staying there again.
I think it was called Speedway Inn or something similar .

wildcat66 · 02-24-2010, 04:40 PM

I'm just sayin'

kart3d · 02-25-2010, 06:05 PM

pfisterlevel · 02-25-2010, 06:11 PM

Weck's is Fine with me !!! Let's try to get all the out of town people in the same hotel if possible !

John

sangus · 02-25-2010, 08:20 PM

I live in the DFW area but had to look up Wecks...if ya'll will allow a local, I'll be there for breakfast...the missus says....ok, if I have too...so that means Bacon and Eggs for us, in the SCT ROD!

Looking forward to seeing all of you and the R's!
