The cruise for the street cars - INFO INSIDE!

[turbostang]

This is the meeting info on the KODFWStreets. The rules are FINAL, The location is FINAL, The format is FINAL.

The location is:

IHOP
1801 N. Belt Line Rd
Irving, TX 75061-1509
MAP AND DIRECTIONS (http://ihop.know-where.com/ihop/cgi/site?site=01468&address=)


The meeting time is 7:30 (Yes, it's early - we only do this 2 times a year, get over it)
We will leave at 9:00 SHARP, ON TIME! BE THERE ON TIME, DO NOT MISS THE DETAILS!

The format is simple: 3 runs back to back to back, the top 3 averages are going to get prizes and payback. (not sure of the total yet). Remember, you are not necessarily racing the guy in the other lane - you are after a good average.

A special sticker, or number designating the car/driver as the participant in the cruise will be given at the meeting place.


The rules are simple -

If you are brave enough / dumb enough to drive it on the street for 20 or 30 miles then it's good enough for me. I don't care if you drive on slicks, I don't care if you drive with open headers, I don't care if you have A/C or P/S... I don't care period. If you can't keep up with the group and the lead car then you aren't a STREET car - we will NOT be speeding. We will probably assign a "special" number at the breakfast place to put on your car so that we will know who is in the street cruise/race.
All you have to do is make 2 or 3 passes (haven't determined that yet) with out trouble. You can inflate / deflate tires. You can add fuel, you can open the hood, you can do whatever - I DON'T CARE.

I am, in no way, advocating that you break the law to race in our cruise. If you get pulled over, get tickets, go to jail - it's your responsibility.

EDIT - I talked to Chris at the track last night. The plan is to drive to the track, directly pull in the gate, and striaght into lanes 6 and 7. We will let some of the TNT go before and then run the "street" cars between 11:30 and Noon.


THIS IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE - CHECK THIS FIRST POST OFTEN. (Nothing major will be changed as far as I know)

So if I am coming from 635 going north, Do I exit Beltline off 635? :confused:

[Da Prez]

So if I am coming from 635 going north, Do I exit Beltline off 635? :confused:

you can if you want seb, then head south all the way past 183, after 183 its on the right side...

or you can take 635, 35 south, loop 12 south, then 183 west, beltline south...

[JKD]

Can I do the cruise without racing? Breakfast and the cruise would be fun. My junk isn't ready to race yet. :o

[turbostang]

It isn't.

[Cmarsh93z]

No f-ing new people allowed!!!

[Baron]

It isn't.
YEP, there are planty of 6 second street cars that roam this site, and 7's are not close to cutting it. Heck, If I can get chads into the 7's I will be grinning ear to ear. I am running for the fun of it.

[SLOBIRD]

im not new. Ive been around since 2006

[SLOBIRD]

ohhh well. Im down to run for the hell of it.

[fordracing19]

Might call the Ihop and let them know you have a group that big coming.

[JKD]

No f-ing new people allowed!!!


Since you're part of the old school crew, what's "new" to you? It's different for each old school member is why I ask.

[turbostang]

It's in the cruise details - but here it is again anyways.

**Minimum length of membership on DFWStangs of 4 months from the date of the cruise if you want to run in either class**

[turbocody]

can a buick play? this sounds like fun. not sure if i will have near enough to compete. but it's worth a shot.

[Da Prez]

Since I'm not racing, I may just show up to take pics along the way

thats ok, i will take care of that, how about you go meet up with the mc kinney group or ft worth group...

[SEB]

x2...quickest way because its all freeway.If you take 635 to Beltline and then go south , there will be lots of lights that will slow you down and a whole lot more
cops to worry about. :cool:

If it's a real street car, you have nothing to worry about. We are in it for the cruise, not to get to the track as "quick as possible". I can promise you that there will be some stop lights involved - plenty of them.

[FRANCISCO308]

you coming out?
he got's a small fuel cell :D

[Juiced4V]

he got's a small fuel cell :D


lol...not a street car... :p

[4DRSS]

I'm not gonna be anywhere near the top but want to participate for the fun of it. Shit the drive to the track should be cool. Allowed to change tires at the track? Or do you have to run the tires you show up at IHOP with?

[fst_stng]

Small Fuel Cell = Not a Street Car :cool:

[Juiced4V]

Might be answered already but can we cruise out there on regular tires and change to slicks when we get there?I looked in the rules but didnt see that option.

[Slow Five-O]

i asked the same question.


he say's he would actually rather us cruise there on street tires and change to slicks on the track that way there is no tickets issued. so yes, you are able to change to slicks at the track.


as for the stop lights, street car or not, it would be easier to keep the group together with less street lights, ...... just sayin.... if hallf the group gets stuck behind the light.... they = fucked.... and better hope the lead car knows where they're going.

[Nate]

I don't know if Brooks wants to go down Beltline to 30 or go back North to 183 and take all highway but I'm assuming the cruise is going to be about 55 mph or so that will give everyone plenty of time to catch up.

either way would be good....and yes please keep it at 55mph...

[turbostang]

Nate is leading the pack if anyone didn't already know. I'll be somewhere behind the last few cars.

Yes, for those who asked - you can change your tires. Remember, I don't care :D

All of your changes will need to be made IN THE STAGING LANES. We will pull in straight from the gate to the staging lanes - we'll cool down and probably race at noon.

We'll discuss that at the breakfast meeting.

We will be doing the posted speed limit which ever way we decide to go. You need to be able to keep up. (i.e. highway speeds).

Nate, The route we will actually take will probably be different than what I told you via PM's.

thanks for the warning

[SuperCPA]

can a buick play? this sounds like fun. not sure if i will have near enough to compete. but it's worth a shot. You qualify. There will be all kinds of vehicles there besides Mustangs. http://www.dfwstangs.net/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

I would go 183 to 820 South take the Kennedale exit and you are almost there.

Almost all highway with just the few lights that are in Kennedale that are unavoidable.

If I don't ride with Brooks I may bring my bike and hang up front with Nate.

The route to the track will be decided by Brooks...it's still being tossed around.

and if you bring the Bike you can keep track of any funny business going on during the cruise... :D

I would suggest the lead and trail cars have radios so they can keep in contact. There may be some info that should be relayed back and forth. Especially if the group gets broken up the trail car can become the new lead car for the second group. Use the family radios and tell everyone what channel you will be on if they have their own radio they can tune in.

[Da Prez]

when you leave ihop and head north under 183, there is a place to merge onto 183 and not too many cars should be stopped by lights and get separated from the group... just an idea...

[GRAYHORSE]

guess im out. I dont get off work tell 7am.
I was going to drive the car from Mckinney to K-dale but that's probably not good enough.

[Nate]

If you want Greg drop the car off at my house before and I'll drive it for you there....You can bring the SS from McKinney.

[GRAYHORSE]

I'll drive it for ya. Seriously if you don't mind, I don't either. I have a full bottle too if you need it. I ain't gonna make it.

[Nate]

lol, you drive a camaro. I dont think you could handle a fast car. :D
I think I'll be ok...make 100 rwhp more on motor than your car on motor...and I wouldn't be romping it around, I don't feel like paying for a ticket or a part I break on a tin can mustang.

[Da Prez]

come on greg, let someone bring it out, hell leave it at my house and i will get it up there... whats a dfwstangs cruise without ole grayhorse...

[airbrush]

i want to take my junkie but i don know yet hope its finish by then :D :confused:

[turbostang]

Fred - I like the idea of where the merge is at, I didn't even think of that. There is only the one light between IHOP and that merge if I remember right.



Greg, let someone drive your car on the cruise and you can race in the KODFWStreeets. I can't let you not participate in this part of the cruise and then race in the event, as I've already told numerous others the same thing - it wouldn't be fair to them. I realize the drive from Mckinney is probably much longer - it's just the fact of everyone bieng together. Besides the idea is to catch some of the "streetcars" breaking down on the side of the road :)

[Juiced4V]

I will bring my truck & trailer in case some of the street cars break & will follow behind. ;)

[Mychael101]

Im doing breakfast & then following in my truck. So you won't be alone.
Add another truck.

[turbostang]

:o no bueno


No, you're right - no good. I certainly don't wish it on anyone - but shit happens and it happens at the worst time.

yep you are correct, one light and then merge onto the highway... so for those who do get caught at the light, it will be fairly easy to catch back up to the lead pack...

[Thehead]

MY JUNK RUNS!!!! If i can get it legal and get it running good enuff for the cruise i'll be there but just to put miles on it. i still have a few bugs to work out!
