Heres the info for the laps for charity event at texas motor speedway. I think about four of us from the forums went to the first laps for charity event earlier this year. The GTO club that went had over 15 goats hauling ass around the track. Here is a couple of videos and pics from the first event. http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v2...060514-002.flv http://videos.streetfire.net/video/0...2c01876b81.htm

That looks like a cool deal. Im gonna free up that day and go, 75mph tho is kinda lame....... but its for charity

 

The trick that most folks did in the last event was hold back from the pace car then speed up or fall in the back of the pack and keep a good enough gap to beable to go faster.

 

ya true. We should maybe see about getting lots of balts together for this one! It's for charity so Im totally down to make it a meet and do something afterwards 4 ourselves

 

I think I smell a personal day coming.

 

Dude, we could so make this happen

 

^^^^^^^^WERD!!!! it would be cool with the same turnout from last night. Show up the goat guys and start a good reputation for our club by doing this. I love it, I say someone start a Poll and we see how many would be interested in showing then go from there.

I would start the poll but I dunno how............

 

I have vacation days and sick days. I don't think we get personal days. But vacation day, here I come. I used one 2 Thursdays ago to go to OzzFest.

 

Hell, Im already excited!!

 

i would love to go do that

 

I am in, hands down. Lets get all the balts to go!!!

 

I was under the impression this was on a weekday, my bad. I didn't realize this was on a Saturday. I dont have to take a vacation day for this

 

I wanna do it. sounds fun plus its a good cause.

 

Yeah, I am for just about anything charity, and this is fun too!

 

do we just show up if we are not doing the VIP or club setup? anyone know?

 

Yea, if your running as a club then go between 5 and 7. Other wise just drive up at 7 and sign the waver. They will send you down the tunnel. You pay once you are lined up. 3 laps for $30
If you don't roll in together then you can park once you are inside and wait for the rest to show. Tell the lane manager that you are going to wait for the rest of your group.

 

I think we should run as a club... then we can go around from 5 till 10!
Do we have enough people that will show up???

 

that requires an RSVP from what I read.

 

Probably too late for that, huh...

 

We should try calling on monday to see if we need a definite head count or if its too late to RSVP.

 

still 2 weeks, we may have enough time. if we open it to more than cobalts rollin with us, I can get several cars to make it a bigger group if need be.

 

We could put it under the group name but of course anyone can role.

 

works 4 me. who wanna do the callin?
