Texas Mile - HIGH SPEED RUNS - MARCH 24.25, 2007 LXer's?

[TxSwimDad]

Hey LXer's, anyone up for this? http://www.texasmile.com/

I was thinking about how we can make this something that we can compete with each other .

What if we came up with our own classifications amongst ourselves based on level of modifications and model (RT vs. SRT)

This events registration is the following:

1 run $35
2 runs $55
3 runs $75
4 runs $95
Unlimited 2 day runs fro $170

I’d be willing to try to come up with a way of dividing up the LXer’s into groups that are competitive with each other. Maybe we can draw in some of the other LXers from beyond south Texas and get some prizes for us to hand out?

So here are a few questions for you?

Would you come to party/watch?
Would you compete?
Could you be there for one day or two days? Saturday or Sunday?

We have two months to make this happen if there is enough interest.
Here is a map for directions.http://maps.yahoo.com/;_ylc=X3oDMTExNmIycG51BF9TAzI3MTYxNDkEc2VjA2ZwLWJ1 dHRvbgRzbGsDbGluaw--#q1=goliad,%20texas&mvt=m&trf=0&lon=-97.617817&lat=28.608562&mag=5

So here's the start of the list:

Competitors:

1) TxSwimDad (Either day)
2)
3)
4)
5)


Spectators:

[TxSwimDad]

Hey Bo, did you decide not to sell your car?

Yes.... the Mag is gone. I now own a tow vehicle! Those that know me realize that I get bored easily..... and without tuning, PO'd as well! It is the one thing that might get me into a Camaro rather than a Challenger..... but we will see......

Now I just need to find something that needs to be towed..... :)

--Bo

[grinner]

[06SilverSteel]

I may just be able to make this one!! Goliad TX, not but a couple hours for me, any other Houston guys wanna meet and caravan??

[Redfox0099]

Be sure if you want to compete to read the requirements....you don't want to show up and not be able to run.

[Isaac321]

This event sounds like alot of fun but wait, I don't own an LX!

Background music: "Ode to my car"

I don't think my Ford Ranger is up to the challenge with 200k miles on it and Yeah it's got a 2.5! LOL

[grinner]

I havn't been able to get em to respind via email so I'll call em as son as I get a free minute.
I don't have a helmet, fire suit or even legal tires. They are gonna have to like me to let me run.

[06SilverSteel]

Gotta get a fire extinguisher and helmet, but the helmet is already needed for the track anyway.....just never taken:mrgreen: ....I guess I'll go get one this week if I am going to make this next weekend. Would like to make it, but we will have to see how my install goes on the heads/cam....if work permits that is.:doh:

Heck, we can hold our own event when we leave:racing: :mrgreen:

[grinner]

yeah, I hera ya but I'ma havta iron this out to justify driving 25 hours.

[moparman53]

If the exhausts leak is fixed, I get the B&G, and I can get off on Sat., then I'm in. With my luck, that probably means not this time.

[TxSwimDad]

Arrghh!!! I know I started this particular thread, but I can't make it. I should stay closer to Round Rock for now, so I might autocross as an alternative.
***Check out the email that was in my box this morning.....


SUBJECT:Crew for SPEED Channel at THE TEXAS MILE
SPEED just approved to pilot a new program: SPEED RECORDS.
THE TEXAS MILE will be the proving grounds.
(release March 18, 2007)

AT THE TEXAS MILE on MARCH 24-25, 2007, our participants will get a shot to be featured in the pilot show. Kevin Deane, of OakVille Lane Productions out of California will be at this Texas Mile with a preliminary crew to gather video and audio footage. His team will also capture the stories behind the folks who have made the trek to the Texas Mile to set their own personal speed records or to go after top speeds.

YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS THIS TEXAS MILE!
To get your best shot at gaining the attention of OakVille Lane Productions and the possibility of being featured in the pilot, you need to do the following:

1. Make sure you are entered into MARCH 24-25, 2007 TEXAS MILE and sign all required waivers. We will be sending out confirmations on late Wednesday evening (March 21). You can also sign up at the event.
2. Submit a profile on you or team/club: Your general data – name, age, family info, contact information, career, hobbies, where you have traveled from, etc. Your Motorsports background – how the heck you got addicted to this in the first place and "racing resume". Your team/club information if you are part of a team/club. Picture(s)/Video would be great as well of you or team/club. Highlight anything that you feel might be helpful in setting yourself or team/club apart from others and make a good "human interest story".
3. Submit a profile on your car, motorcycle or land speed racing vehicle: Year, Make, Model, Modifications, Fuel/Gas running, etc. Tell us any interesting stories in regards to the build or preparation of your vehicle/motorcycle. Pictures/Video are great as well.
4. Tell us why you think that you or your team/club should be featured or shown in the pilot of SPEED RECORDS. Keep in mind that you do not have to be just going after the top speeds. You could be going after a "personal best" speed record, a classification speed record, a first ever speed record, etc. Be creative when you are writing about this.
Please send all profiles and submissions to Public Information Officer: TJ Aulds at info@nasatx.com. For any clarifications, please send an e-mail to that same e-mail or call Shannon Matus at 281-802-9863.
We will see you at THE TEXAS MILE.
God's Speed,
Shannon Matus
J&S Matus Motorsports, Inc

I'm afraid I can't make the trip this time around. Maybe catch it the next time.
I do hope to get down there again soon.
