Enjoy the cold and rainy weather! ::Banana::
I'm only gonna contemplate it, if the weather holds...
Drive out to ECR on Sunday and watch the NASA races.
What time are they running Ken?
From 8:00AM to probably 3:00PM. If you come out and they want to charge tell them you are on the crew for me.Quote:

i would like a nice sunny morning/daytime, i work evenings/nights... this could be a last minute thing(night before)... or...
how about wednesday evening before Kellers? we could even meet at the west end of the route i'm presently thinking of...
top down, cruizin', overwhelming people with Miatea... priceless.
miatea.....HAHA!
ok, i told some friends about a possible "sunday drive" with miata's.... we launch at 11am in mckinney... they wanna come... so I need at least one other car that's willing to take a passenger(forever, that's you...lol)
this sunday...10/14/12... 11am in Mckinney.... any takers?
How many cars? Route? Stops?

The route... we'll hit fm546, the road out to New Hope, and then a run on fm455... maybe more... with stops for lunch, whatever...
I'd like to get four or more cars... the weather looks good... this should be alot of fun...

I've got a suggestion... we could meet at the corner of 546 and Lucas Rd, then run CCW from there. Almost exactly the same route, but with a little bit of freeway cut out of it.

Rick, that looks great!... this is the route... any takers?Quote:

We can run the suggested route by trickyrix but cut off the lap around Ray Roberts. When we get to Tioga we head south on 377 to Pilot Point and pick up 455 there. The route around the lake is not all that twisty but the dam does provide reasonably safe triple digit speeds.
Or, we do the planned route but add 15 more miles each way west from Sanger for a few more twisties and a rest stop at Eagles Canyon. Many of you haven't been to this track and it is the best venue to cut your track teeth locally.
My 2 cents.
This couldn't start like an hour earlier, huh? Just my luck :(
jdcanadian doesn't get up that early because he works evenings.Quote:

Hope you guys have a blast!
Jerome wanted me to post up some info...
Meet at his place at 10:30am
2710 Lakeside, McKinney, TX 75070
...or meet at the corner of 546 and Lucas Rd at 11am
If you have any questions or need to let him know you're coming, text or call...

it's on! the rain should be gone... let's do this!
I'd like to go but it's currently 4:40 am and I've been napping on LBJ freeway for an hour and a half thanks to road closing motor mayhem.
I'll be at 546 and lucas road at 11:00am. There's a gas station right there.
...and a good time was had by all, minus one setback.
Great lunch at Clark's (where we ran into Mike Preston), and some good driving too!
great run today, guys. although the mount of bikers, cars and trucks that were slowing us down was a real bummer.

GO HAUL SHEETROCK! GET OFF MY TWISTIES!
lol... the run was awesome!(and mostly legal speeds, just consistant).
I would be up for starting the idea of an every two week sunday drive... people could volunteer to find routes, plenty of routes East, South, and North.... an idea... do you have any?
jerome.
The turbo diesel truck is outta his lane at 2:01 trying to keep ahead of us. Here's my first crack at time lapse editing and music bed.
Personally I think the audio is more entertaining than the video.

nice work...........looks like a fun drive
Could you please post the full motion version? I can't get a good look at my bald spot on that time lapse . :D
hehe there wasn't full motion video. That was 887 stills shot at 2 second intervals.
