so where drift tracks around the dallas fort worth area?

ibekinq

not much around......... but intercrew auto salon did something once a month out in mineral wells. we would rent out an old airport strip and have fun

GohtretFC

I think they might still be doing the mineral wells thing. I had a friend that always used to go.

But we should try and start something.
By the way ibeking...I just moved to dallas.

Are you guys going to the dfw rx7 meet on 3.1.08?

SingleTurboRx7

do they only give ou one lap at a time?

ibekinq

well whoever wanted to go will go as many times as you wanted to go. it was only about 50 people who went out there. we all had fun....

ibekinq

you can see i was the only fc there

Killert2

How much do they charge?

SingleTurboRx7

maybe I will go next time, it takes my tires about 2 laps to get warmed up

ibekinq

its $50 they also have a tire changer if you wanna have a real good time. its an all day event

SingleTurboRx7

thats good, last time I went out there they only let you do one lap at a time then you had to wait in a line. this sounds much better, I might even bring a set of slicks and run a session of hot laps

Killert2

i heard there another track around but only exotic cars go anyone know anything about that?

burtoncr

You get one lap at a time, but there is no limit to the number of laps take all day. You wait in line after the lap.

SingleTurboRx7

well that sucks

ibekinq

most people that go dont want to blow their motor so after 1 or 2 laps they stop to let their car cool down. plus the place is big enough to make 2 tracks maybe even 4!!

SingleTurboRx7

why would you blow your motor after 2 laps?

the place is big enough, make a pit lane and set it up like a track. if people thing their motors are about to blow, very simple...just pit!

how much does it cost to rent that place? I may sponsor an event, free for all, just so it can finaly be done right

burtoncr

I'm pretty sure you have to know the owner of the land and even then I believe it costs nearly $2k to rent with insurance.

If you are so concerned about laps you should really look into an MSR membership. Its not that expensive.

SingleTurboRx7

I am out at MSR every other weekend.

but its not a very good track for drifting, $2k is not that bad for mineral wells, I may have to look into that, whos interested

ibekinq

ill get you specs of how much things cost this weekend.............. im down to go but i need to get my car up to par first. unless you guys want to see a van flip.........

burtoncr

Whats going on there this weekend?

ibekinq

i was telling single turbo i was going to get him the price , he said he might sponsor an event, im saying im down to go

SingleTurboRx7

let me know when you get that pricing

Killert2

so anymore info on the track? My car is almost read just got to port wastegate

SingleTurboRx7

they called me today to see if we still wanted to do the track day...but it does not seem as if enough people want to go

Killert2

how many people we need? Can anyone just go or does there have to be a head count

SingleTurboRx7

we need 30
