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

    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=X3oDMTEx...8.608562&mag=5

    So here's the start of the list:

    Competitors:

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


    Spectators:
    1)

    Didn't you make it to the Texas ALL MOPAR event benefiting the Tx School for the Blind?

    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.....
