Who all is attending? I've never been out there so I'm looking for someone to follow.

I have never been, either. If you want, we can hook up for breakfast and convoy out there.
Anyone else going? It is north of McKinney.
Looks like it is about 90 miles from Hurst. Would anyone want to meet at the McDonalds in Grapevine (114 @ Main) from 6:15-6:45 AM? I figure that will get us to the event at about 8 AM.
We will just need to head up 121 to 635, and then over to 75. Take 75 north to Grayson Dr, and then west to the airport.
I'm not making it out to this one. You guys have fun!
Thomas not making it nice. :D Jerrett I'll probably take you up on your offer.
PUNK! ;)Quote:

In for sure, bring your fast cars kids I think I hit nearly 100 at this event last year, it's on a long narrow runway strip and very hard to find. It's on the backside of the airport which is kind of tricky.
Doh! I was thinking this conflicted with ER's event but it's on Saturday. I'm very curious and I've never run there before so I plan to go too.
Well you could of called and asked. ::Bawl:: It was eh but they seemed mad at all my answers and didn't appear to want to interview me. I don't think i got in. I will find out this week in a letter.Quote:

What time are you serving breakfast, cone-cerned? ;)
Seriously though, is there a good spot in Whitesboro maybe? blackzx3_13, can you recommend something? I see there's a McDonalds.
How about 7 am at the McDonald's at the intersection of US 82 and US 377 in Whitesboro. I have been to the site before. I could lead y'all in the back way.
Umm...well nevermind, it's just too easy :rolleyes:Quote:

I talked to Aalvarez04. We'll see you guys in Whitesborro. We are going to hook up at the Don Pablos (and it does blow) off Ruf Snow and 820 at 6 AM to travel up there. It is only 10 extra miles for me to go that route, so it is not a big deal.
There is a really good donut shop owned by a friend's parents on business 377 in town, just a few miles south of McDonald's. The only real breakfast place besides Mickey-D's is a sonic up the road and a truck stop on 82 on the way to Sherman.Quote:

Forecast high for Denison tomorrow is 100 degrees. Y'all be careful out there!
Wow, I'm glad to be home. The heat really kicks my butt.
The day started with a 30 minute delay at McD's because a boy scout troop happened to get in line ahead of some of us. Then, my first impression of Grayson County Airport was not good and neither was my impression of the BMW club. The club redeemed themselves by buying lunch. That's the only thing good that happened today.
Now that I've tried it once, I'll never go back. BMW club and Grayson both are not worth wasting my time on.
Thats too bad.. Care to expand on what you didn't like about the site and what you didn't like about how they ran the event?Quote:

I still can't believe that worked! ::Banana::Quote:

It was hot. The site is in the middle of nowhere. Lots of grass and weeds growing up in the cracks in the tarmac. First gear corner and 3rd gear rev limiter twice. Not much paddock room. Runway breaking up in several places. The 85 cone slalom, jrj512 thinks it was only ten. Funny hook on the end of one of the 180* turns. The speed bumps. Low turnout, so workers spread thin on a long course.
But, it was close to my home. It was the best autocross that I attended today.
Results were emailed to me, Jrj512 took the win in X, followed by Apex2Apex, the MR2 guy, then Darron, Gabby, Christoper, Andrew, Doug, 914 guy.
