Def946 - I'll update this as we draw closer to the race day.

GolfinZ - If you have a helmet, it's better for you to bring your own. However, if you do not bring one and break 14s, you can always rent one. But they only have 4 in stock and I'll need one from them too.
Booo! My car is still completely factory and im not sure there is much of a point to run it factory. Oh, and what skills? Lol. I learned to drive a standard when I drove my G of the lot haha. And that was 2 months ago! It was an interesting trip home from Plano to Euless lol. I think I stalled ummm... 9!!! times on the trip home haha. Ive definitly advanced quite a bit from there but im not sure if its anywhere near racing

Let me put it this way... I learned that I could drop down to 3rd going 60-70 on the highway at Saturdays meet hahaha.

Yes I know im a newb, hopefully no one else wants to call me out on it lol. We're all newbs at one point right? I just started a little late

I'm going on the 10th. I may not run my car though. I may ride down with my buddy in his G35 TT. I want to see what he's running.

I read somewhere (maybe G35driver) that the plan is to meet in North Dallas, but I don't think there are any definate plans.

Yeah, no plans yet but since it is getting closer i think we need to decide. I think we should meet up somewhere around north dallas around 10am, i'm not sure which way is better to go...down 45 or down 35. If 45 then we should meet around 75 and campbell maybe or we could meet in the parking lot at Colling creek mall, if it is 35 then we can meet around the tollway and frankford (blue fish, for easy access to the tollway so we can all roll out at once and not get seperated) We can always just meet at blue fish and go down to 635 and then over to 75 if 45 is the better way. I don't know, these are my suggestions.

For 35 North how about Vista Ridge Mall since we'll be taking 35 North then 35W to Fort Worth? I am going the tenth. You still going both days Nick? Or we can all meet up at Texas de Brazil for some lunch before we go

You should have told kwiker that before the last meet. We had to relocate to Nates.

hahahahaha.

Depends on how many people are over close to 35 and how many are over on this side...i would love to go down the tollway to 35 but if we have more people coming then we can go down 35 from lewisville if that is quicker.

I lived in south dallas and use to go down to ennis every friday when i was in highschool and we always went down 35, so i know that way very well.

35 IMO is the easiest way... you guys are running all the way from north dallas all the way down south to Ennis... that would WAYYY out of the way for me... gonna have to skip that one...

how about some words from the OP...

my route isn't changing unless it's semi-local... i just run east on 20 to 35 south...

^^^^we can meet you on the way, just get off on the service road when you get on 35 and wait at the holiday inn on the right...i think the exit is called wintergreen...we can call when we are getting up to 20 and then you can hop on and join the caravan.

I would love to and even comtemplated it thrice, but as always I have to spend the money on something more important.. I'll eventually get around to it.

That's still no reason to spectate. If you get your times now and see how you do, you'll know what to improve on based on your times. Also, you'll see how your stock car does with your abilities when you have no mods on. Trust me, I was a newb and I still am. Nobody, not even the famed Alberto and Audible, is perfect. Not even close.

Alrite, don't race then. I guess we do need some cheerleaders. Let me know when you guys decide to man up.

I'll come and spectate. I'd like to see some of the local Z's. And if anyone would give me a ride in a turbo Z, I'll try and keep the drool off of your car.

Which day do you think will have more cars?
