Man I guess I'm gonna have to start going by the city service centers at night and "borrowing" sone cones lol. I need a big get away vehicle though. Stu, you're my new get away driver lol

 

I can fit lots of cones!

I don't remember where I was recently but I remember seeing just a bunch of cones and thinking how easy it would be to take them.

 

Ya but that would be wrong.... Lol. I talked to one of the BMW guys last time I was at mineral wells and they had just gotten all of those new cones. I wanna say he told me they were like $7 per cone.

 

Here is a site for cones:

That's cheaper than I thought they were going to be but still for the 18" cones we are looking at around $3000 just for the cones that we would need. That is a rough estimate for 500 cones, which I honestly don't know if that will be enough. I was thinking we would need to start with around 700 cones but I'm also no expert lol

 

That's $ 485.00 for 100 12" cones and $ 570.00 for 100 of the 18"cones for a grad total of $ 1055.00 without tax or shipping !

I'm not sure how many you'd need to have a safe amount of surplus.....maybe like 300-500 ???

 

$2850 for 500 18" cones

here is a website that sells the timing lights and hardware/software associated with using them. shiet is expensive.

 

I now have a canopy so we are set for the event as far as some shade goes.

I bought it at Academy sports on sell for 50 bucks. reg 100. Its a Quick Shade weekend model 10x10. Pretty happy with the quality, The frame and legs are much better than some I have seen, I think Ill be happy with it.

 

nice! I had just seen one at walmart last night for $50 that I almost jumped on but I was afraid of the quality being walmart's ozark trail brand and it was only a 9X9

 

Don't forget, we might need sand bags or something to hold down the tent.

 

screw u guys.. i'll take my (lack of) skill somewhere else! hahaha

i;ve got a fellow g driver coming this event, so blah.

haha.

 

Yep been thinking on that. Might try bringing my hammer drill and cement screws and screw that baby down to the asphalt..

I'll have to go out to the street and experiment.

 

hahahahaha youre gonna get us banned from all of the local events but i think it may just be worth it if we get to use that lol

 

You guys can use my Sand bags & clamps to hold down the Canopy.....I will get in touch with Steidz.

 

holy ****, only 14 peeople registered.

wow, that wasnt creepy at all lol

 

Yep... still here, and still plan on doin this as much as I can

I can grab them anytime too. Just sayin since I'm practically a stones throw from you. PM me if you want.

You guys sure get busy on here sometimes! Man, I don't look for 2 days and all sorts of stuff goes off. I've been a bit extra busy with work after being gone so much but trying to keep up!

As for doing our own chapter or whatnot, sounds super cool for sure but dropping $40/month or so to go run with whoever is hella cheaper and less work. Just sayin... but don't let that stop anyone! I've kinda thought about that myself but the reality is the commitment (for me) is probably too much. I've got kids that'll be getting into sports and other stuff and my weekends are not just my own most of the time.

I can't wait for this event! It feels like it's been awhile.

 

If I don't get this work stuff figured out soon, I wont be able to commit to much either. It took another nose dive today. I'm so sick of this ****. I'm just gonna go out of town for a few days to clear my mind. I've been ready to leave for two hours now but my room mates car is blocking me in. As soon as he gets home, I'm out.
