We run at 5:15pm. All cars should be there by 4:45 to do the paper work. I suggest we all get there no later than 4:30.

We will be the second group to run.

This will run rain or shine. In the event of really bad weather, you can call Brandi's voicemail as she will have it updated with the status. If you have any other questions and would like to speak with TMS, call Brandi at 817.215.8421. Reference the DFW Crossfires Group.

You're the driver when Texas Motor Speedway opens the Speedway to the public for the first time this year. Experience the thrill of driving your car around the 1.5-mile super speedway all to benefit Speedway Children's Charities.


Polish up your special vehicle and come on out to "The Great American Speedway!" on Saturday, May 9th for Laps for Charity presented by Speedway Children's Charities. Take three laps on the Super Speedway behind a pace vehicle for just a $30 donation and have your picture taken in Victory Lane for an additional $10 donation. Laps will be conducted for Car Clubs (by reservation) from 5-7 p.m. and for the General Public from 7-10 p.m. The fan favorite, VIP package will also be made available. The VIP package will include a five-lap session, complimentary event t-shirt, complimentary photograph in Victory Lane, a two week trial membership to The Speedway Club and dinner for two on May 9th in The Speedway Club Starlight Dining Room. There will only be a limited number of the VIP packages offered, so call today to book your reservations.

In....I know SRT6-Steve had a blast last year!

 

Yeah, I remember him leaving our September GTG to go out there. It's too bad we all didn't know about it ahead of time so that we could have had our GTG at TMS for the event.

 

Are we allowed to kick it in the rump a bit while on the track?

Texas Charles

 

I am ready, sounds like a fun time.

 

Count me in.

Not very often that they let a woman on the track, lol!!!!!

 

We should all aim to do this. Its cheap and for a good cause. Alot of other forums plan big for this, I know the Charger group has a 50+ car turn out and I believe you can even "schedule" the group outing so all the Crossfires can be on the track at the same time.

 

I am in. Already had it marked down.

 

Does anyone want to volunteer to get more details so we can post them and plan?

 

I volunteer the member with the most post and CICCI membership....DAN!!!!!!

 

Dan, you are being awfully quiet!

Would you like to call or would you like me to?

 

If we can get at least 10 of us out there, they will treat us as a car club and line us all up together and possibly go all out as one group.

 

Sorry, I wasn't at the computer last night. Steve is correct about the car club. I have a contact with Speedway Children Charities that I'll call for more details.

 

Mark me as 75% sure I will come.

Texas Charles

 

I would love to go with you if you don't mind an Okie tagging along... But I am a newbie to this kind of thing - what preparations are necessary, do i need a helmet, are roadsters allowed, is any special training or license required etc. Sorry for the dumb questions...

 

Of course we'd like to have join us. SRT6nTulsa has expressed an interest in joining too.

I have emailed my contact at Speedway Children Charities with a request for all the details. I have not heard back from her yet though. I do know this:

Roadsters are allowed.
Helmets may be required although they may be able to provide those.
Special training? No.
License? Just your normal drivers license.

 

SRT6-Steve made a video of it last year. I think he posted a video on the forum of it too~

 

Here's Steve's car on his way out for the run





And his Victory Lane photo:




Go to this link to the thread he posted the day after the run.

 

I'll have to check with my stepdad, but i think we'll be able to make it. What's the cost?

 

No helmet required.
