I was checking out the Zoom Zoom Live site as it was around this time last year that we registered. Nothing yet, but I came across something interesting when I clicked the "Keep Me Informed" link... They have a drop down that says "Select the city you would like ZoomZoomLive! to visit in the future". It lists 85 different potential sites, including Arlington, Fort Worth, and Plano. Anyone have any clue where they could host an event in Plano?
Hopefully nowhere, I wouldnt drive that far for one.Quote:

Mazda marketers, take note... The guy who will drive to Hooters in Plano to NOT eat because he's watching his weight... will NOT drive to Plano to flog other people's cars. Good to know...Quote:

Sure would be nice if some of the autocrosses could be at a site like this (As in NE Metromess).Quote:

Unfortunately, I don't think any of the lots are big enough to stage a decent course (i.e., all smaller than Pennington).Quote:

I'd definatly go. I'd rather blow up someone elses car than mine all in the name of good fun :-D
Hmm... that's an Albertson's parking lot, and it's full of bolted down cart return thingies. I don't think I'd want to race there!Quote:

The satelite images I have seen of my house in Allen show my Mom's Miata and my 1999 Nissan pickup. Her Miata was totalled in August 2001 and I bought my pickup in May 1999.Quote:
