TALON Group Photo Edition 3 8/27/05 @ Texas Motor Speedway

LOL.....Yeah Doug, I am aware of that. I just had something a little less industrial in mind. One issue we will face is the weekend issue. The rental places won't open on Sunday....so my experience in the past has been getting charged for Sunday if you rent it on Saturday. Like I said, I had something a little less "industrial" in mind. We can go that way if need be, but there is really no point in getting a 30 foot boom lift if we can make do with a 15 ft scissor lift.

Did you get any prices on those lifts pictured.

I know I will get hit for this but how about this one?

Telescopic or
Articulating
Boom Lifts
30-126 ft.

Looks like word is spreading. I am getting some responses from folks on the other boards that appear to be local to DFW, and it looks like a few people will be coming from different places (Oklahoma and Austin so far). This thing might just get out of hand.knana

We'll bring both of our L's....95% sure we can be there.

10) The after pic dinner venue is still TBD, but from the sound of it there will be no one restaurant that will be able to handle the size of this group. We may just decend on several restaurants along 114 and it'll be up to the inidivuals where they want to go.

Dude, why dind't you CALL me and tell me about the meeting?? You know I want to be a part of the volunteer bit. :mad:

AS for dinner: did anyone consider catering some food in, maybe BBQ? I wonder what that would cost, and how we could parlay that into a picnic at the site (maybe outside the bowl, on a parking lot, but still possible)?

EDIT: Is there an individual cost for the event, or is Rock's sponsorship covering it?

Sorry about that...LOTS of things going on, and I sent out the e-mail and posted up about it, figuring that would cover everybody. Turns out I had a wrong e-mail address for one person and obviously didn't get the word to everybody.

Your dinner comment...good suggestion. It would involve a big guess, because we don't know exactly how many people are coming, and we would need to rent tables and chairs and all. We have the track from 5-8, so we would not have the time to take the pic and throw down on the feed inside. Outside the track would work, but we would likely have little or no light and lots of bugs. The costs for this could be astronomical, and I don't want to put the financial burden for something like this on the club.

Your cost for the event question..Rocks is our sponsor for the event...his company is paying for the track time and the lift. No individual cost other than your own dinner and drinks that night.

Again, I apologize for not calling you directly. Send me your e-mail address and I'll put you on the distribution for any follow up e-mails. Most of the coordinating will be done in the threads on this board, so be sure to stay tuned.

Make some phone calls, see what a catering service will quote ya. Maybe set it up to charge $10 per person, and let them work out the details (they can set things up to be flexible over a range or people). Look into it, it might work out. Maybe one of our L bretheren has some land in the near vicinity that s/he would be willing to open up for a gathering.

Hey Tom, we can have it at my house!!! I have lots of room and will buy the beer... :beer:

If we want to do some type of small catering, i can get a discount on Chili's party platters. They have all kinds of platters, like nachos, eggrolls, buffalo wings, sandwiches.

Let me know.

I'll be honest, catering this thing will be a monumental pain in the ass in my opinion. Get the food trucked in, gotta rent tables and chairs to set it on, maybe some tables and chairs for everyone to sit on, take a wild guess on how much we really need, plus we'll prolly have to get permission from the track to do so in the parking lot outside in the dark...:confused: ...and we're not likely to have beer!! :eek:

I'll leave it up to the masses to explore this option, but I'll be completely honest when I say I don't really want to do this...let's go grab a bite to eat somewhere on the restaurant row along 114...we'll all be in the same vacinity and we won't have to worry about the restaurant automatically adding the 15% tip on our bills...not to mention we'll have access to beer and alcohol, which we won't likely have access to at TMS if we cater. A few things to stew on for a bit.

I'm with Tom on this one. Just thinking about it is enough to give ya a head ache. Not to mention how enjoyable it will be sitting in a hot arse parking lot, sweating, while we try to keep the dust off the cold food.

I vote restaurant too.....:tu:
