A list of rules will be handed out when you enter the track, and if you break a rule you are gone, period. Anyone does anything stupid that gets us all kicked out and I will personally whoop yer candy ass...there have been way too many hours invested in this.

For those of y'all who break these rules, I have THIS for ya:

:nono:





Seriously, the track rep made it REAL clear: no fooling around, no burnouts, no speeding (over 35mph on the roads, 10 mph on the parking lots), no running full laps, no high-speed passes. One persons breaks these rules, we are ALL kicked out; anyone tries to drive a lap around the track, and not only do they toss us out, they confiscate ALL our cameras!! And NONE of us will be allowed back in TMS, ever--including me and my autocrossing.

So please behave--you will get a flyer with the rules, when you sign your waiver at the south entrance. I think this will be the best group photo ever, and if we organize quickly enough, we will be able to get a second shot on a turn on the banking. ANd if this turns out well, it may be a great place to do it again in the future.

scratches and dirt don't show up on group pics. half a truck should be half way in the group. they hide well, there

Amen holmes. :tu: If we want this venue for anything in the future we need to take this seriously.

As far as the clean up of the truck question, John, I use a couple of coats of Meguiar's Scratch X and cover it with polish and then wax. Coumes out awesome...but takes time.

Well, I'll be there with or without my bed. Hope I don't bring down the quality of the pictures?! :bs I'm sure we have all been under some kind of construction? I would like to see all the local trucks anyways.

No charge to come out. Just show up and join the pic and meet some new friends. I look forward to meeting you there. I'll be the one running around with the megaphone going nuts trying to keep everything somewhat organized. :d

You can become a Supporting Member here http://www.talonclub.com/forum/subscriptions.php
this also opens up another section of the forum that the general public doesn't see.

I should be there in my new (to me) white '95.

That was me! She probably saw me when I was going to get a quote on fixing my frame. Cheers! :beer:

Just as an FYI to everybody, please make sure you enter the infield via the south tunnel, as it will be the only tunnel open. Here is a speedway map for your convenience so you'll know exactly how to get there:

If you have trouble when you get to the speedway, give me a call on my cell phone (972)977-9248.

Also, don't forget to bring your FRS radios so you can hear wahts going on.

See you there! :tu:

Tom

I don't have a FRS radio. Am I going to miss much?

That'sjust how we are going to coordinate among the people placing trucks. I just thought I'd mention it in case anyone wanted to listen in.

Not really, but you can pick one up at Radio Shack for cheap.
