I plan to be there. It will be fun to try out the venue.

Hmmm Paris?
Mineral Wells still on the 26th of September, right?

I'll be there! Got some buddies in a band up there, so might even head up the night before.

Where will the course be? Will the field be closed to planes?

I haven't played with BMW in a long time. Might be fun.

It will be on the X, where the two secondary runways meet.

Keep in mind that the cones in that map are about 5' wide, so the course is not as tight and short as it appears.

5' wide cones might be tough on the fenders, but I'll try and make this one anyways. Should be fun.

We want as many as could be there to drive up. The Chamber of Commerce is really trying to make this a big event. That's one of the big reason the fees are low and they let the club have the venue at no cost.

Any idea what the surface is?

hmmm...didn't plan on going but that course looks like a lot of fun! I'm tempted...

Has anybody started a thread on the event on the September 26th or am I just missing it?
I wanted to see what the course looks like.

It looks like the same surface that I just left in Lincoln, with the 25' squares and all. If so, then there will be a ton of grip.

Don't be scared. The hardtop will make you much faster!

So whose going to this? I will be debuting my Lotus 7 kit car at this event. But I don't want to go alone........

Might need help pushing it on the trailer......
