She can park in the lot along with everyone else. no charge for parking. Its a very short walk across the street to the lot we race in. She can stand beside the fence and watch the races.

Bring a good hat or umbrella for the sun and lawn chairs.

They have plenty of loaner helmets so that's not be a problem.

David, I can put your pads on for you for....I will be a lot cheaper than the shops will charge a. Minimum of $100 bucks per axle.

Do you need just fronts or all 4 ? Do you have Brembos ?

I live in Flower Mound so if you can get to my house I can do your pads for you.

Give me a PM. Or call me at 972-754-8456

Parking is across the street in the main paddock area. You can't miss it, as all the other cars will be parked there.

I don't know everyone's username, but thanks to Scott, Gavin, Eric, and Dustin for making my first event so much fun! Your encouragement, instruction, and kindness makes all of you great stewards of the sport. (If I forgot someone, I apologize)



Oh yeah, and, Holy **** you guys are fast!

Thanks for the results link Scott. I was finally able to figure out which was my fastest run video. I'll try and post it soon.

edit: Do I have to upload to youtube and then post here? I've never posted vids online.

Yes, you need to upload to youtube first then youtube should supply you with a link to button that you can copy and past into the Z forum.
