The poll could be an answer to either question. It is real simple.... December third at 45 bucks and 3 passes each. December 10th at 85 bucks at the all you can eat buffet.

Temple may even help us get some of the Halo guys involved. We should hit the Halo, Arkansas, Loiusiana and Oklahoma sights at the least.

Like I said before...if we get enough folks, the costs may even be less than 85. Heck...it could end up costing the same as a day with the GM crowd.

Maybe the question in the poll should be worded to mention the price could vary depending on interest in the track rental option.
Now we just need Dennis to agree to the poll....;) .

Ron wants a pole....Ron wants a pole....Give Ron a pole...

True...yours was more of a :ron: :cool:

BTW-Did you ever sell those floor mats? I was looking through old posts/PM's and notice I never got with you on those at the track.

I think $2,500 is too much to pay for a facility that we haven't even checked out yet. I think it is best to make it affordable for most people and just share the track with whoever is there. Reality is we haven't ever had more than 20 racers at a cost of $35/$40 each so that is a pretty good stretch to get to $2,500. I say we go with December 3 and start promoting the date to all of the Lightning owners in the area. :cool:

Also with the drive or trailering it will be a hundred bucks in gas to get there these days.

Is Temple really that much further for you guy's? It seemed Like Hallsville was on the other side of the Earth. I'm all about it, it is a sh!t load closer for me and I know that there are a few L's around Waco that plan to come to this if it is at Temple.

It's a pretty nice track, for those who have never been, Lot's of up close race watching. the shut down area isn't very big and the parking spots would be a premium so we would need to get there early.

So, is Dec.3 the day we are going with? I'll post it on some local Waco boards if so...

No, I'm not sure where they are getting this from. Temple is actually a bit closer than Hallsville is, and the drive is much better, at least there's something besides trees to look at. This is especially true for the Tarrant County folks, Hallsville is about a half hour further than Temple is from us.

Yeah Temple's no further than Halllsville, and is a pretty quick track. It has a lot of "personality". I've always enjoyed going there. Unless you're trapping well in excess of 125 mph, or you have really bad brakes, then the shutdown area should be more than sufficient.

The parking area is a bit dusty, but no worse than Hallsville. If it's still managed and prepped the way it used to be, then it should be a good time. Plus, they're an IHRA sanctioned track(at least they used to be), so the mid to high 11 second guys shouldn't catch any grief for not having a cage....

I have to throw the flag on ya Wes....for improper use of the :ron: smiley.

A :ron: must include a "back in the day" story....:rll: .


The floor mats......cripes, I haven't thought about them for a long time. I will try to find them...if I didn't give them away or something. Terry acted like such a dick about them, I might have thrown them out in shame;) .
I will let ya know if I find them.

Rocks

So what would you folks think of getting Hallsville opened for a day of racing?

If this could be accomplished, I would rather be at Hallsville than this "street track" in Temple.

It is a serious question..........if Hallsville where to become available....would we be going there?

:confused:
