I am not confirming, but I am interested. It is tempting to do apply for the Open Class, too, in order to maximize the value of the trip.
I am guessing it will be 2.5 to 3 hours to get there. Would we leave the day before and spend two nights or leave early Saturday and spend one night?
At Texarkana, you could pay extra to run X class, and not have a work assignment at all. I guess they are still doing that.
*edit* I just checked the web site, they call it OPEN class and they do still have it.
It's 190 miles from PGBTW and the Dallas Tollway. I suspect you folks in FW are looking at 3.5 hours or more.Quote:

Sounds like you can also sign up to run both your regular class and open class, thereby getting 12 runs for the day. Might be worth it, considering the drive.
What's the surface like? Anyone run there?
I have. 3 times last year and twice this year. They run on the tarmac at the Regional Airport. The surface is a sealed asphalt. I have only run on street tires there. I think it's a medium grip and very smooth. Robert J, Jay M, Rick G and Gerry T have all run there in the last year or so.
Looks like I'm going to have to skip this. I'm going to Cozumel later in December, so this will just be too close and I need to save my money for Cozumel. Man, I know I'm going to be jonesing for racing, too. Dang.
Shoulda told me. You could have talked to Peter Fehn last Sunday. A bunch of AXers were going to Cozumel regularly and even had AX on the beach. I don't know any of the details, but they were all running ETOH class.Quote:

Anyone else going?
What time that doesn't appear on my clock will I be getting up one more time? And how much rubber to you need to slide off those doomed 710s?Quote:

Anyone cool going?? ::Clown::
Ya know Spokes also has one more event on the schedule.
No online sign up. Register at the site. I'm watching the weather also. Altiain and I are both cool. Which trip are you talking about fool, I mean cool dude.
:scratch: Is that English? Are you trying to suggest that you'd like to co-drive? I'm planning on leaving about 5am. Roughly 180 miles from my place, which ought to put me on site somewhere between 7:30-8am.Quote:

Besides, I've already got clearance from the better half for this one.
