Laps for Charity (http://www.texasmotorspeedway.com/speedwayinfo.aspx?p=SCC)
Saturday May 14 Laps for Charity I
A fan favorite! You're the driver when Texas Motor Speedway opens the speedway to the public. Experience the thrill of driving your car around the 1.5-mile oval! Cost: $25 donation for each three-lap drive.
Aggie97, myself, and a few others went to this even last year and had a pretty good time. However, we had to share the track w/ some F-bodies. :rolleyes: If we can get 8 to 10 cars together we can take our laps w/ just DFWStang members. (F-bodies are welcome. ;))
Any one interested in meeting up and tak'n a few laps??

Man that sounds like fun, how fast will they allow you to go? I have to work that weekend :(

I THINK I got up to 110 once. However, that was quickly curbed by one of the TMS trucks getting in front of me after I let off. I think on the average we were doing 85 maybe. TMS intentionally adds 4 or 5 F250's to the field and tries to keep the speeds down. Even though you sign your liability away they don't want an "incident". However, at 85 in T2 you can feel the suspension compress. Very cool feeling. Also, if you have friends w/ camera's you get some great shots....:D

Hey, thanks for posting this. Laps around TMS sounds like alot of fun so hopefully I'll be able to go. They can put dump trucks out there to block me and it should still be fun.
Darren M
04-18-2005, 03:56 PM
Last year we went late in the afternoon to accomodate a cruise or something. I believe they start around 10 and go on till dark, or 6/7... As the day get's closer I'll try and get some more details. Trust me, it's a lot more speed than you think it is. See'n those guys hit 190 - 195 and knowing how it feels at 85 is mind boggling and really builds your respect for the drivers in general. I can't imagine what the IRL guys must be feeling.

04-18-2005, 03:58 PM
Heck yea. For $25, I'm in. I'll mark that date in my calendar. Hopefully, nothing major comes up before then. We should all bring cameras and take pictures of each other in action, then swap. (Get your mind out of the gutter!)

It's a great time and it's only 25.00 smacks for 3 laps, well worth it IMO. I have taken the Cobra and Lightning, the Cobra was doing 135 on turns 3 to 4 spraying N2O the whole time, LOL! You can also have passangers with you and take pictures in the winners circle for $10.00, it's a poloroid pic you get to keep with the TMS LOGOS on it, a very cool time...'H'

As many passengers as you have seatbelts for, at no extra charge. At least that is how it was last year. I would be interested in going if there are no retards driving at the same time as me. I had these idoits thinking they were racing and passing everybody and they almost hit me then my brother. But other than that it was awesome.

Honestly it was pretty busy. The wait wasn't too bad. However, this is a very well known event and car clubs from all over attend. Heck last year I was behind a freak'n monster truck. No kidd'n. I think Aggie97 even got some video of the beast.
Yes you can have passengers. It's a VERY relaxed environment.
Darren M
04-18-2005, 04:17 PM
Kevin has a good point. NO PASSING! My biggest fear last year is that I'd get grouped w/ some jerk off and get my car trashed.... well guess what almost happened. Damn F-body came up right into my blind spot and didn't understand I was running "a line". I almost clipped him. Of course he was a bit pissed, as was I. IT'S NOT A FRIGG'N RACE!

please get your air pressures up somewhere around 3-4 below max recomended on the side of the tire. Going 85 is one thing, doing it there is something else, trust me.

The event is neat if u are going for the first time.. I used to go twice a year for 6 yrs and then I got "bored" of it.. some years they seem to restrict you more than others.. i can usually get away with 100-110 at most and then the pace drivers get pissed.. Its definitely a great experience.. taking that first turn feels weird if you have never done it... if u guys have never done it, its worth a shot.. just dont expect to top out your car or anything.. Dont be surprised if you cant even get to 100 lol
yesd u can take passengers.. as many as u want.. its a charity event.. not a race... if u want to take a minivan full of 18 kids, u are allowed.. still 25 bucks for 3 laps

Shit, I wanna say I'll be running it, but I think for the first time ever, I won't have anything to drive. :(
I'll be there anyway. It's always fun, and is kind of like a moving car show. There's always something cool opening it up on the back straight. It's not every day you hear a 427 Cobra or a real 60's Hemi go hammer down, even if it's only for a few seconds. :cool:

Don't think yours will be THAT loud but it would be cool to get some video of our cars going by from the infield.......at speed!!! Might put this on the silver slut's schedule....maybe we can do a DFWstangs group of about 15 cars and raise the speeds a little. I think they did that once for a corvette group and ran to 125.

i called and if we can get a guaranteed 12 people to prepay, then we can pick a designated time, show up, and skip the line.
Only thing is, we have to prepay, so we can show the guys at the entrace and they put us ahead of everyone else.

Hmmm.... Called and talked with "Sarah". Nice lady. I think Cammin4v talked w/ her yesterday. Anyway, it is from 5pm to 10pm, I stand corrected :), and right now there is no one group pre-registered so we pretty much have our choice in times. So who's interested???? Need 12 cars and a "pre-payment" is NOT required. Sarah said we could pay there, we just need to get our names down. I'd be happy to schedule a time w/ her as long as you guys can agree on a time.
Hmmm..... TMS pics at night. That sounds REALLY cool to me!

Darren M
05-13-2005, 01:04 PM
So here's the latest. After talking with Sarah she explained how this was going to "work". We're to meet at a particular location, get our "group" together recruit other cars if needed and then get in line to sign the waiver. This is the only "line" we'll be in and we MUST get 12 to 16 cars to get in. Plus she'll call me and yell cause I promised her at least 12. As long as we all sign the waivers as a group we'll then be allowed to bypass the "stragglers" line and will be issues a designated "staging area" by group #/letter. She said something like Group E or F and that we'll be trying to hit the 5:30 time frame. It will be important that the lead and last car are in touch w/ each other so the lead will know when to go once the last car has signed the waiver. I'll take the lead someone w/ a phone take the tail. Once we get inside I'll be happy to be at the end cause I want to catch ya'll on tape. We can switch around in the "staging area".
So here are the facts/plans.
Darren's my name and my cell is 817-944-2464 I'll be smooth talk'n our way past the waiver signers and money takers.
I drive a Blue 2000 GT lowered and wingless. (Pictured on the first page of this thread.)
The PRE MEET UP time is going to be 4:30pm at the SONIC mapped above. We leave at 4:45 sharp. Cops will be out enforce so keep the speeds to a cool and calm pace.

The AT TRACK MEET UP TIME is going to be 5:15 pm sharp. If you're not there by then your place will be given to a recruit.
The AT TRACK MEET UP LOCATION is going to be on the South side of the track in what the track workers call the "Crystal Lot". Pictured here in yellow with red /// stripes at the Southern side of the track at the corner of Victory Circle and Allison Ave once on the track grounds.
Click the picture for a larger PDF file example.

Once we've got most of our people together we'll do a car count and if we're lacking a few well then we'll all need to go out and get a few recruits from the others waiting in line.
Things to bring.
Passenger with a CAMERA!!! Remember to have them take pics of your buddies so you're buddies will feel obligated to take pics of you!!!
DRIVER'S SHOULD NOT BE TAKING PICTURES!!! (I've got a video camera mount so if anyone has a digital video camera but no passenger I'd be happy to "borrow it" :D) Otherwise it's going on film and noone but me will see it.
$25 per session, 3 laps per session. I MIGHT make 2 sessions if I can get someone to snap some pics at night.
Also, last year there were pictures available in "Victory Circle" for $10 I think. They MIGHT be doing that again.
Any questions?
(Hope ya'll don't mind me taking a stand on this. :))

Passengers taking pictures of OTHER cars are the best shots IMNSHO. Many people won't be able to get close enough to the track to get a good shot unless they have some killer photographic gear. Buddy up, bring a passenger and take lots of pics. I know I will. :D

is the weather going to be a problem? Will they dry the track if it rains? So far the weather for tonight/tomorrow doesn't look too good.

We'll all drive to TMS on our own. No fuzz. At the track, they will have pace cars when we do our laps.
See you there.

I'm going to gamble against the weather. I don't know what they'll do if it rains. However, I do know that would be VERY slick in the wet!! While I don't mind road courses in the wet I'm not to hip on the "no run off" concept.

Sure was good to meet you guys today. Had a blast! Granted 3 laps is never enough, especially the way they ran it. Fun none the less AND it was for a good cause!! :)
So, post up your pics. I'll d/l mine a bit later on tonight when the kid and wife are asleep.
Thanks to the photographer!!!! (She was hot. :D)

How was the turnout? Usually there is about an hour wait because of all the people out there (unless you have a reserved group).

Took the GF tonight (shitty camara man ;) ) Got there about 8:45 NO WAIT. Was so much fun first time did it again. Speedo was off a little cause of the 4:10s but im guessing got close to 115-120. I believe there is a vette meet there next weekend and they let them go as fast as they want. If so ill get mom to take the Vette :)

Those turned out really well.

Yeah, sorry about that. I should have known my wife had the camera the day before and she never empties it. :rolleyes: Actually those are VERY small compared to the pics that actually came out. I can't believe no one else has pics!!!

Pace car ran about 80. Some of us would pull back then gun it to catch up. I got up to 90-95. Others said they got up to 105. No passing allowed.

Cheap track day is once a year. A freaking wife graduating is more special.

Yeah just wish she didn't do it on a cheap track day ;)
Sounds like you had some fun. Not bad for 25 bux. You figure they charge 100 for 10 laps with them in the car and you get to do it for 25 without anyone except trucks and a pace car.

Don’t miss this second chance to drive your own vehicle on The Great American Speedway. Join in the fun and help the children of north Texas!
I don't know if I'll be going to that one or not, but if I do I'll post up a few weeks before hand and we'll try and setup the same type of deal. Hopefully we'll get more people involved and my timing will be better. :rolleyes: :D
