Hi all,

Enjoying my 8, and would love to really open her up sometime in the future, and from what I hear a track day is the place and time to do it. (because yes, no matter what anyone says street racing is stupid)

So, I'm wondering what kinda possibilities exist in the Dalls/Ft Worth area for this kinda stuff. All I know so far is that I need to wear a helmet and i have to pay some money.

So just some genearl questions:
If there is something like this local, where and how much would it cost for a regular guy like me to get in on it?

What all would I need to bring if I were to go? (besides myself and my 8)

Thanks guys!
Jeff

 

BigOLundh or TeamRX8 would be the guys to answer this for you. Both auto-x their 8s.

 

there is motorsport ranch, they have open track days from time to time, the cost is usualy $100-250, depending on who is setting it up and how many cars show. course if you really want to open her up I would try a cannonball!

 

He did the cannonball with us on Saturday.

 

well we can always do an airport cruise

 

I think we should in a few weeks, maybe the next DFW meet. I keep hearing how much fun it is.

 

its 10 time more crazy then the cannonball we did

 

Works for me!

 

i've heard talk that every once in a while Texas MotorSpeedway let's people take their cars out

anyoen heard anything about it.

i'll be there this summer for a different race
i am part of a solar car team at the winston school who holds a race each summer adn even number year we race at the Texas Motor Speedway and on odd years we race cross country

here's a linkLINK

 

Yeah -- but what turned out to suck was my g/f was with me and I couldnt open her (the car) up and get all crazy she doenst know much about cars and cant seem to understnad running and revvin to 9K is GOOD! (she keeps telling me im going to break my car)


blah -- relationship stuff sucks i kinda wish i was single again or at least had a woman who could understand me and my 8.

anyways, next meet im going to try to come by myself, if not, the track days sound cool for $100something dollars i could (legally) speed my *** off all day :-D

Something to look into,
Jeff
