The Texas Motor Speedway will present two events this year for Charities for Children.
The first is 7 May,2011 and the second will be Sept 10, 2011. It was suggested after the Sept rally last year that only one event would be participated in by the Crossfires as a group due to dwindling participation.. Please indicate your interest in participating in the 7 May 2011 event:

I would prefer May. The September date was way to hot.

 

You can add David & Carmen to the list, but only as spectators. don't want to buy helmet and fire exthingusher at this time. I would love to run it a round the track and see what it will do. Getting the picture of the car on the track would be great too.

No need for a helmet or fire exsthingusher. It is a controlled enviroment with multiple pace cars. You drive around in a line with no passing.

 

Add Bill and Sampie to the list. We've had so much fun in Sept., that May should be great because of the cooler weather. The pool side GTG's were the best.

 

Joe and Helena will do both. Always have a good time. Maybe we can plan the trip to CAA II.

 

Jon and Sue will be there - we wouldn't miss it!

I'm for having both dates...it's always fun when Crossfire owners meet! Every TMS GTG has been a great time - some have been larger than others, but they've all been fun!

 

Sure would like to attend this, but May would be out of the question. It will depend on work on whether I could slip away in Sept. Right now, I don't have a clue what will happen to my schedule. I know longer control my scheduling, the company does. I can get off from time to time, but now, even the CAA is up in the air, since I sold out to the company. I now work for them. Fuel prices, tire prices, ins...and I could go on and on. So, I may be staying home this summer. Can't seem to make Carlisle work anyway...lol.

 

You can put us down for BOTH events, wouldn't miss them. The Pool Parties are GREAT, Don't care if September is too hot, GO FOR IT.

Dave it's a controlled run, we run the Crossfires in a group. There is a Pace car controlling the speed and 3 outside trucks controlling the no passing. Cost has been $30 for 3 laps and $10 for picture if you wish. Check posts on Running of Crossfires IV for more comments.

TerryR, JoeJet, Bill F, OKC-XFR, FtroopChief & EERIC, Well thats more than a quarum, Definitely enough for GOOD Pool Party, Just GO FOR IT.
AND No Doubt Danny & Sonia will be there as well, they are ALWAYS THERE.

 

Hey! Don't leave me out. I will be there!

 

If I don't need the helmet and Fire Ext, I'm in for the $30 bucks laps and $10 pic. How do I sign up ? i guess we will need a hotel room too, where you guys going to stay?

The new Motel 6 at the speedway has always been the host hotel. Our member "eeric" is the manager of the hotel and treats us very well.

 

put carmen and me on the list to go to the Speedway. do O need to make reservation at the hotel separately or are we going for a block of room? Do you have the number of the Motel 6 there, is it known as the Speedway Motel 6? Do we have dates defined enough to start booking or should I wait for now?

I think we should still plan both and whomever can make it - can...

As always - Put me in for both!!!

Top up or Top down... lol

 

I think Carmen and I will go to both as well. Add us to both list of both events.

I will go to both if we do both.

 

I'm interested in the may date

 

I'll check the cost of a flight from Chicago for May 7th.
Depending on the cost I'd like to try and attend.
I'd fly in alone early evening on Friday and fly home on Sunday.

Looking for that Texas Hospitality though as I will need a ride again to and from the Airport.
Always love hanging out with all of ya at this GTG !!!
