Damn, I'll be in Houston for 2hrs that Sunday. Mebbe they'll cancel my departing flight. I wonder what a cab ride to TWS would cost? The last time I drove (er, rode) TWS, it was also December, and wet - that was a long, long time ago. The winner of my race was a 16yr old kid named Freddie Spencer ;-) Andy, if you get a track alignment for this event, make sure to save the 'before' printout so you can get it back to where it was for ORR. Where in houston will you be...I might be able to organize a way for you to get there. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

Wow ... this has the makings of a real event.
Alan ... I don't think ANY repairs have been made to the place since you and little Freddie were there ... |

Sure does. My paperwork is sent. I have room in the trailer if anyone wants the parts I have listed in the Classifieds and PAy It Forward. Good news is the weather for Bryan shows 70 and sunny Saturday. Big question! When we go to the ORR events the beer of choice is Keystone. Discerning palates? not hardly! I think it is all about quantity vs. investment. Is this the case at TWS as well? We will be staying onsite in the coach so beverages are a requirement. |

AB! That is SO very cool! The last time I rode there, Kevin Schwantz won every class on an FJ600. jb |

QUOTE (RPOZ27 @ Dec 6 2006, 10:45 PM) BTW, you all can camp at the track, if you want. They charge $10 at the gate Friday night and the gates are locked at 10pm, so it's affordable, available, and reasonably secure. Misty, Are there electrical hookups for a motor coach? 10pm Friday is going to be pushing it. When is everyone else planning on getting there? |

When the Japanese owned the track they ripped out all 48 hookups, but if you park near a garage and have an extension cord, you're in business. How late do you think you'll be? Sorry, guys. I talked to Rusty about a discount and he says the normal deal stands: 10 people, 10% off. Garages are $20. If you all get garages, I can arrange it so everyone can park together, at least.

Does Rusty know exactly who we are? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
I'd like to get a the garage farthest from the lounge. I can park my trailer with all my stuff across from my garage stall. That would be close enough for Andy to park his rolling Taj Mahal. We need to put some pressure on Kevin to make an official FRRAX showing. |

Thanks, I'd sure like to do that, but I'm already stretching it being away from the shop for 4 days, and it would cost some bux to change my return flight. I'll catch up with you guys some other day |

We need to put some pressure on Kevin to make an official FRRAX showing. Since this is something totally new to me, I will defer to those with more knowledge and go with the flow. The coach has a generator and some really long extension cords so I can adapt. If I need to get a garage that is fine. Is anyone else staying at the track? |

QUOTE (mitchntx @ Dec 7 2006, 05:15 PM) We need to put some pressure on Kevin to make an official FRRAX showing. I was tempted, really tempted. Tempted enough that I was just checking ticket prices. I didn't find anything that fit my budget (cheap) and schedule. I'm out of vacation, so I don't have time to drive. A road trip south sounds really nice this time of year (it's 13 degrees and windy and spitting snow here in Ohio right now). If I could have come up with a $129 round trip special, I was on my way (assuming I my wife says/said I can go out and play). When's the next one? |

How late do you think you'll be? Misty, We will be leaving Ft Worth Friday between 5 and 6pm. With Friday afternoon traffic, I can't tell ya how long it will take to escape the Metroplex. Maybe 11pm? I could update my ETA enroute via cell phone if that would help.

I will kick some $$$ in for the ticket and pick you up at DFW if that is what it takes. Weather is clear and 70 Saturday, 68 and partly cloudy Sunday. Check Southwest.com.

Check Southwest.com. Andy, that's a generous offer, but I'm still seeing $183 to get there (at midnight on Friday night) and $133 to get back (leaving at 3:50 PM on Sunday). 70 degrees....ahh.....That's it, I'm moving to Texas..... |

Or, maybe he's more of a furry Penguin with claws who dislikes Texans.... That law would only ban Barley, the 20 lb sweetheart.... |

I have one of those oil radiators in the bus you can borrow to knock the chill off. |
