Default DFW: Dallas Raceway Test & Tune in June

There's a new drag strip near DFW, so let's get some Zs out there (others welcome as well and encouraged). Please vote which date you can make it. Whichever choice gets the most vote will be the chosen date for this month.

I'm going to call 2 people out, since they both specifically said any day is fine and they'll come along:

Time to man up.




Dallas Raceway is in Crandall, TX
http://dallasraceway.com/
1/4 mile drag strip
Run what you brung

Some rules:
Wear actual closed-toe shoes, long pants, and a shirt with sleeves.
For those who will run faster than 14 seconds, you need a helmet.

I quoted you. You said as long as it's not on a weekend. Thursday isn't a weekend day.

Yes, please check with your co-worker so you can work Wednesday and get off Thursday. BTW, it doesn't matter if you get off in the morning. We race in the evening.

I will ask anybody and everybody to come out to have fun and race. Those who show interest in coming usually is contacted by me as a reminder.

If you think you can run 13.99 or faster, then make sure you have a helmet. This new track doesn't have any for rent. I had to use some chick's bike helmet, that she graciously allowed me to use for the evening, last time.

Test and tune days cost $20 to race.

You need to wear long pants and a shirt with sleeves.

You need to wear closed toe shoes.

Come prepared with some drinks or with money so you can get rehydrated.

Everything else, I will tell you if you actually make it to the track.



Ok, since this is a bit of a short notice, how about we set up a date that we can all agree to go on?

I don't think i can run faster than 13.99 so i will skip that helmet. I was actually went to go look for helmet, which i didn't know where to find them.
Anyway, i guess i really will find out stuff when i get there. I shoot you a PM my numbers, you can save it on phone book list for future in case.

So what new race schedule is comming up every month?

Check the first post, since I changed the content and vote on the poll.

And you should be running low 12s with 400whp, even on your first time out. I'm certain you'll need a helmet. Apparently, Wal-Mart sells some for about $80 or you can ask a friend with a motorcycle, I guess.

Ok..i just got back from local wal-mart and target. Walmart has a helmet but most of them for kid,,,like spider man helmet...sh*t like that...So went to Target and target has some decent looking bike or bicycle helmets. Didn't buy it yet, i wasn't sure i didn't want to get laugh at people, or people took me a picture that wearin a helmet and use that for " Fail " picture..lol

The helmet has to be at least a Motorcycle helmet. It needs to have the DOT saftey tag in it. Unless you smoke the tires off the line you will kill 13.99.
