We are set! Our track time is 6:00pm. We must be there by 5:30. It would be better to be there at 5:00.

I have updated my original post (OP) with the following:

Updated Information

• Motel 6 will be our meeting spot
• TMS Tour time 1:00 (tentative)
• Babes Chicken 3:00 (tentative)
• TMS track time 6:00 (firm). We must be there by 5:30!

Please watch the OP for any changes.

 

You guys make me jealous....

Doc, any new news? Are you planning to make the event?

 

Saturday’s daytime is pretty set. Recommend gathering at Motel 6 around 2:00 PM (need to socialize) and drive to Babe’s as a group at 3:00 PM – the tour should be over by than. One of us can get to the restaurant a half hour earlier to give our name. Gives us plenty of time to leave around 5:00 PM to go to the track and line up like last time (maybe organize the cars for faster in the front and slower in the back). Plenty time for picture taking.

Okay… now we need to find entertainment for all our “out of Towner” friends.
Any ideas what we can do for Saturday evening? Char (you’re the entertainment queen)?
We have at least ten crossfire’s here for the weekend. Any thoughts anyone?

 

OK GUYS....I"m coming from Chi-town for this one.

Yup I'm buying a plane ticket and flying into Dallas (DFW) on Friday evening. (Sept 25th)
I'm gonna watch the airfares over the next few days and book a flight by next Wednesday.
Dan (danimal) will be picking me up at the airport and we will be sharing a room at the motel Friday and Saturday nights.
Count me in for everything except of course "the running of the Crossfires" as mine will be in my garage back here in Chi-town all weekend.
I'll be riding shotgun on the track with danimal and shooting the video footage for his laps.
As for us coming from out of town we would love to spend some time after the events on Saturday just hanging out with ya all so hope ya guys are up for it.
I'm flying out on Sunday early afternoon so a Sunday breakfast or brunch would be cool if any of ya locals want to gather again on Sunday morning.
Regardless of what we all end up doing I'm excited to be coming and meeting even more new faces.

I'm hooked on these Crossfire meets and know even without my Crossfire there I'm gonna have some fun !!!

See ya, Gary

 

eeric,

We will probably have to have two groups any way you look at it but we surely need to have the people that will not hold back in the front no matter what.

 

Inferno, not coming with car this year, going to work on next year...I am looking at my schedule, since that time of year my company is right in the middle of seed corn harvest, and may not let me go...with that said, weather could play into this, so I really won't know until closer to your track time...would love to do it, but really the wrong time of year for me...but Valk is tugging really hard...LOL

 

Doc, we won't stop talking about you if you don't show up!!!

Just fair warning.

 

When I made the track reservation, they told me they want a maximum of 16 cars in the group runs. So yes, we will have at least two groups.

 

Danimal told me you wouldn't be able to keep it a secret. Welcome Valk!

 

I strongly suggest the two groups be divided by the ones that are not holding anything back (meaning going as fast as they will allow) compared to the group that would have drivers that are more reserved. This will be important as we have people from all over coming and I wouldn't want to see anyone disapointed with people holding up the whole group.

If we put a few of the faster cars up front in each group, they still will hold the field back due to catching the rear of the field within two laps slowing all of us down in the meantime.

 

LOL...I wasn't gonna be a surprise guest.
I hope my post encourages others to fly in and join us.


Crossfirefrank , oledoc2u ...?? anyone else adventurous ??

 

You got that right my friend

 

Yep, that was my intent in the original post that there will be two groups. The Need For Speed Group is for those that want to push them to the maximum speed they'll let us drive and the Track Experience Group for those that want to drive the track without leaving a spot on the seat. I'm sorry if I wasn't clear enough about that in the original post. I'm sure we can sort out who wants to be in what group before they line us up.

 

Need for speed... Need for speed...

Just want to make certain I don't end up in the wrong group

 

Hello All, looks like we are going to make the Laps Run after all.
Please put us in the "Need For Speed" group if there is still an opening.
Hey Joejet, are you and Jon going down together? We could caravan down with you if you're going down early Saturday A.M.
Later, Smfry

 

We have 35 crossfires signed up for the event so far (looks like we need a third group ), Some will bring 2 cars. John's original goal was 50 crossfires... can we do it?

 

Holy crap!!! This just may be bigger than the car show at Carlisle!!

 

Welcome Smfry!

Yeah, when I called to make the track reservation, she asked how many Crossfires. I said about 32 and counting. Her response was "Oh wow!"

 

Glad to see you can make it, Terry! I'm going down Sat. AM, but Joe wasn't sure if he was going down Fri. or Sat. It would be great caravaning down - we can work out a time and place to meet via PM.

Any other Okies care to join us? The more the merrier!


BTW - we are probably up to 50+ people, probably more by lap day -- has anyone checked to see if Babe's can handle that?
