LOL................wow.....OK...so I guess I will bag the Hallsville idea. I am pretty sure Dennis said the 3rd was the date. He also mentioned checking Thunder Valley...since it is about the same distance as TAD.
Rob...Yes you did....:D .

I wasn't disputung having told you about the "new" rule. I remember the conversation well, because I was teee-oed due to all the grief I'd caught from the Ennis staff just a few months earlier.;) The "No sir" was in reference to the "getting old" part. Just in denial I reckon.:dQuote:

Funny you should ask, Uncle Rocks: http://www.mensa.org/index0.php
I'm working on getting the :ron: over there, too.:d
I'll try to attend.

And I think I speak the same as most guys regarding this event. I'm not that big into my racing that I'll blow that much for a day of fun with the guys. Dennis is on the right track by trying to find a track that'll do it cost free...that'll keep the cost down for all attendees and will likely boost attendance. $80-100 for racing in an event that doesn't have a payout is not going to attract any racers from other areas, either...
Go Sixamapipes! We appreciate your efforts here!

One other point on the track rental that I think is being overlooked. Guys are saying it's only $45 bucks more to rent the track. However, they're not taking into consideration that the $85 bucks to rent the track does not cover the price to run in the "Talon Fall Classic". Once you figure gas and food expenses for the day you're talking about a pretty good load of cash. Don't get me wrong, having the track to ourselves would be badass, but once it comes to the nutcuttin', guys will start dropping out like flies, and somebody would have to pony up some serious dough. Just a thought....
I know I have not been around in a while but I will pony up some dough to have the track all to ourselves. Think about it. How much did you pay to go to L Fest? Gas? Hotel room? I think that 85 bones is not bad so Uncle you can put me down for the 85 if that is the way we go. I just feel like the child sitting at the grown up table when we go to the track because I am so slow.

The track rental suggestion has been has been pulled off the table.....:D . We might want to move to the next issue on the race. I suggested a possibility of getting Hallsville...that got sh!t all over too. Seems there is quite a bit of love for the street track in temple...so unless Sixpipes has come up with an OK option...which I was praying for...looks like the TAD is it. I'll be there...but you guys who are pressing so hard for TAD, will never...and I mean never...get to quit hearing about your bad judgement from me....:evil . That is if it is bad judgement... we shall see.

I really don't care but I have one wuestion. Why would I want to drive 3 some hours to a track and then not start racing until 6 in the evening and then only get maybe 6 passes in and not get home until lets say early the next morning? I just don't get it. I know this will get sot to sh!t also but what about renting an 1/8 track like Redline or Denton?
Better yet lets all save some cash and plan on meeting on I-30 just after Caha and then race to Dalrock it is straight and it is a little over a mile so we will have plenty of shutdown room!!!:crying:
These kinds of threads are exactly why I am losing my enthusiasm for the TFC. Not every one is going to happy with the venue, that is the only thing I am certain about. My suggestion at this point is to use TAD on December 3, since they are the only ones that seem to be interested. I will personally visit the track next weekend and even make a few passes to get the feel for things. It seems the guys that have concern about track safety are also the guys that have never been to the track in person (me included) so I'll volunteer to get some first-hand experience. However, the track is a sanctioned IHRA track for pete sake so how dangerous can it be? :cool:
Waste of gas, I trust Rob and Michael.Quote:

Dec 3rd TAD is the final decision(if it were up to me, which it is not).
