Hey Dan, how much for the VIP laps? Will these be done after the reserved "3 laps/$30.00" And will we get to go faster than 70MPH.

From their website: "5 Lap-VIP Laps Experience will be offered for $250". I'll call next week to get more specifics.

It was really fun last year but I'm going to beg off this time.

I do still keep up. I still really enjoy my car. In fact, it'll be payed off early next year. Yea! My daughter will graduate college at the same time. Shoot, I'll be rolling in dough. (right)

The only big new thing in my life is I got hit by a Luxus SUV while walking across a street near campus. Bunged up my head some but I came out very well considering. She could have dragged me down the street.

Steve, great to hear from you. Sorry you can't make it this year.

You gotta watch out for those wild women driving Lexus SUV's. Maybe she was just trying to "hit on you".

Hey LGV, hope you'll join us! The group will meet at the Motel 6 just across I-35 from TMS. We'll all go over to Babes for lunch and then caravan over to the sppedway.

If anyone wants to skip the lunch and just meet at the speedway, just be aware, TMS has a spot outside of the track for us to register as a group. If you go to the track alone, you'll have to look for the group. For those that were there last year, they promised me that it would be better organized and quick registration.


I'll update the front page of the thread with a time schedule once everything is firmed up. My thoughts are we meet at Motel 6 around 2:00 pm. Do a meet 'n greet for about an hour and then head to Babes. What do y'all think?

I am currently making plans to be there. BTW, has there been any word on the "speed limit" for the VIP run? If we can go WOT, that would be great. I've always wanted to see what the crossfire can do.

Not sure if I'll be able to attend, as I am trying to open up a retail store.

On the laps I've done on the track where other cars were present, I would drive slow and put considerable distance between the vehicle ahead and myself. Then it was WOT....

This is a major reason why the pacecars slow all of us down. The last crossfire run we stayed all close together and averaged a three lap speed of 90 mph. Some of us got a few times to 100
