Hey guys,

Sorry I ahven't been online in a while. Count me in!!!!

 

Cool! Gotcha added. See you one week from today.

 

I want a ride in that V8 monster please

 

Yeap... you're in

Eric

 

That bad boy is awesome! It runs and sounds like Crossfires should have been built.

 

Glad you could make it, Bob! What better place than the Speedway for your creation!


You said it, Dan - that thing is incredible to ride in. He did a fantastic job with it.

 

Dan DFW, how many cars do we have thus far? I am only bringing 1, and has there been a head count made?

We're bringing two

 

Fellow Crossies, 9-11-2010 has been designated as Patriots Day. For us it is a day of joining, greeting and enjoying our cars and camraderie. I would like to suggest that before we stage onto the track, we exit our cars and have a moment of silence in rememberence of those who died in this horrible tragedy,

Patrick W. Danahy: Counting Down the Days



She was born on Oct. 11, a month too late to get a blurry glimpse of her father. Grace, she was called.

When Patrick W. Danahy and his wife, Mary, had discussed girls' names, she suggested Grace. He was hesitant. But Grace is the patron saint of motorcyclists, she told him. (No, really. Look it up.) "It'll have to be," he said. "She'll look out for me when I go out riding."

Mr. Danahy loved motorcycles, and cars. (He bought himself an old Porsche for his last birthday, his 35th.) And mountain bikes. (He did a couple of 100-mile bikeathons.) "He seized any sunny day," his wife said. "He wouldn't waste it inside."

But "his girls were his life," she said -- before Grace, a 2-year-old and a 3-year-old. He did a weekly countdown with the oldest, saying on Sunday nights, "Five days to go," and on Mondays, "Four," till he would be home with them. He would often get up at 4:30 to go to a gym. And later, from the 90th floor of 2 World Trade Center -- he was vice president for investor services at Fiduciary Trust -- he would call and say, "How are my girls doing?"

He called and talked to them at 8:30 a.m. on Sept. 11, hanging up just before the first plane hit -- and with no bikers' saint to protect him.

Great idea John!

Everybody, please note that the original post has been updated with Saturday's schedule.

We're all looking forward to seeing you there!

 

Great line up Dan !!
Glad to be coming and joining all of you for this wonderful weekend event !!

 

May I suggest a display of Red White and Blue on the Crossfires.
If you have those small US flags display them on the Crossfires as we enter the TMS property.

John....this was on my mind as well seeing that this lands on 9/11

 

Valk, you're a killjoy. I already bought 24 flags on sticks 12"x18"
Inferno Dan and I discussed it last week and were keeping it under wraps.
Both the window and the door will close. I think we can run them on the track

Are these made to be put on cars, how are they attached?

 

Can't wait to make some laps! should be fun since my latest mods. I hope they allow us some speeds similar to the first time out there. I will give rides to those that are interested.

 

They go in the door/window weatherproofing piece.

 

Sorry, I'll have to nix that for me, don't want to mess with the door seals. I try and get one that is made for the door window. Thanks John.

 

That's kewl Bill, maybe some suction cups with a pole hole molded in it?
