spectators vicki and chris .

also chetta is the club going to cook out again if so i wish to pitch in on the cost or donate some food .


ken

[chetta]

I'd like to cook out again, but with the Baskett's being out of town that weekend, therefore making the support vehicle (the mini van) unavailable, I have no way to get the grill out there I don't think. I'll have the canopy and at least one cooler that will fit in the stang. I may have to go back to our usual sandwiches at Ennis instead. :) Donations are welcome, thank for the offer. Just see me at the event. :D

I will volunteer my truck to carry all that stuff! I will even supply the grill/ charcoal and such...

:geddy:

[chetta]

That's great Joel. Can you swing by on Saturday to pick it up since I don't think you want to meet up at my place before the caravan, that would mean getting up waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too early. ;) So long as we can get the grill out there again, I'll make the run to Sam's to pick up burgers, dogs & buns. :)

[Joel]

Sure, I can pick it up or I have a easily portable grill I can bring..

[chetta]

That works too. If you can bring the grill, I'll bring the fixin's :) I know I can handle the canopy and 2 coolers in the vert. :)

[Joel]

Sounds good... Is there acces to 120 volt outlets aroud there? I though about bringing the compressor if people need to swap tires quickly, or adjust tire presuure easily...

[chetta]

I don't remember there being one at Ennis. Maybe someone who's been out there more often than I would know for sure?

[TIMMEH]

not sure about that, but that's a hella good idea...

[Joel]

Of course its a good idea!!

[2k-lbs]

I know that I said you could count on me for this one, but I was wrong. Due to some very serious personal issues that have arisen, I won't be able to make it to this race. In fact, it is unlikely that I will be able to make it to any of the races or other events for the forsee-able future.:(

[chetta]

John, I'm sorry to hear that. :( If there is anything I can do, please let me know.

[30birdy]

I guess this means I'm driving the support vehicle!! :D

WOOHOO!!! Do we need window chalk? I've got an unopened stick of that!

Chetta, is the helmet requirement 13.0 for this challenge only? I thought Ennis was 13.9 requires a helmet? Please correct me if I'm wrong :)

[2k-lbs]

I believe anything under 14 requires a helmet.

[lazyJT/A]

damnit!!! i wanna go....i no have helmut. I poor unemployed bastid. Someone helmet to me lend perhaps?


hehe

[ken cryder]

if that is all that is keeping you from coming that's a poor excuse because you know i have an extra helmet you can use so now you don't have any excuses not to show up and have some fun .

ken

[lazyJT/A]

ken...lmao..you got the poor part right. Cool im in then. didnt realize that you had more than one helmut sir. Thanks a bunch!

[chetta]

TMCCC website says 13.0 and faster requires a helmet. We all know Ennis can be sticklers about tech though :rolleyes: I'll try to call out there tomorrow to confirm.

I have a chalk stick and the shoe polish from last week. It can't hurt to bring another one though. :)

dont forget me i can go :D which probly means mini is going too

[Joel]

Does anyone have a helmut I can borrow... ??

[chetta]

Joel, since Baskett will be in Houston, why not see if his will be available. If so I can bring it with me.

[Joel]

Cool, I will ask him.... THanks!

[Joel]

Chetta, Matt said it was Kosher if I borrwoed his helmut!!

[ken cryder]

joel what class will you be running in ? i'm sure we can find you a helmet some where we can't all run at the same time anyway , so come out and we will do what ever it takes to get you down the track .

ken

[30birdy]

Ken, Joel's driving my car, and we're hoping to be in King Muscle, (ie breaking 12.9) the car has never been run modded. The stock number was 13.5. Now it has Hooker Long Tubes, ORY, Borla, Whisper Lid, Maft, and some suspension stuff. Thank goodness for those nice heavy duty brakes too!! :) But there's a chance it'll be Super depending on what time trials we do with Joel driving it. He thinks that we'll be running 13.2s... :dunno:

[ken cryder]

that's great make him think positive i like the way 12.9 sounds myself . as long as you are there that's what counts .


ken:yeah:

[30birdy]

Hehehe.. actually Ken, I'M the one saying 12.9, JOEL is the one saying 13.3 :) But we'll take what we can get. Joel hasn't driven an A4 at the track much so we may be better sticking in the 13 class and letting off at the end so as not to break the bracket :devil: :D

PS: I have a helmet, it's a little tight on Joel but he's borrowing Matt's so I'll bring mine if someone needs one :)

[chetta]

No prob Joel, I'll grab Baskett's helmet tomorrow after work and leave it in my car. :)

Mark aka 1bad6 & I are working on getting a driver, hopefully Willie, to take his daily driver, the Taurus down the track. :D If Willie has found his own car or isn't able to make it, maybe 'Chele can drive the Taurus?

People who haven't checked in yet but usually will race: Ray - rw'z28, Devon - 00SS, Andi - Kubra, Sonny, Willie and Aaron.

Like I said we are trying to get with Willie to have him drive the Taurus. Andi still has a broken foot so most likely won't make it and Sonny's car is still out of commission. I'd like to hear from Devon and Ray and Aaron. I'll talk to Aaron tonight.

Come on guys, get your friends to come out. :D We need those putz's Jamie & Kyle to come race. :stick:

[NolanTA]

I'm gonna check with my wife, she owes me a free weekend day. Maybe I can get a kitchen pass and come out for the day. I'll post back up later.

[chetta]

That would be great Nolan, good luck. :)

[Ferret]

I'm working on getting a coworker of mine to bring out his RX7.... He's taking it up to Denton friday night, so if he doesn't break something he should be able to swing out.

[chetta]

That's great Mel. :)

[TerryDean]

Put me down for a "maybe" with a side of "probably".

[NolanTA]

I'm in, barring some kind of disaster (read: hangover). I have a wedding to go to in Wichita Falls on Saturday, but should be back by bedtime.

Will there be a "community" helmet or do I need to try to scrounge one up?

[Exevious]

:geddy:



We could use an extra grill... that other was kinda small.

[rw'z28]

maybe

[chetta]

We'll see if we can scrounge one up for you. Do you know what class you are running in? We might be able to share one, worse come to worse.

[30birdy]

Chetta, I am not going to be actually racing the truck, just driving it out there.. :) Being 6 months pregnant I do not feel comfortable racing. Put me down as a spectator please.. :)

Hey Trista you can't blame us for trying to get another point. :D So does this mean the support vehicle needs a driver? ;)

[Joel]

I could drive the truck in the event as well.... Is that legal?

[chetta]

I'm not sure. I suppose we could try it. :)

[yyz28]

Chele or one of the spectators can drive it... Get that point... I'd bring her car down, but it's on its last legs... :(

Nick's gonna try to fit me in for a cutout today or maybe even tomorrow morning... not sure what a 02 ws6 w/ lid and cutout will do... I would assume one of these two classes.. anybody?

12.00-12.99 King Muscle
13.00-13.99 Super Muscle

[yyz28]

Super Muscle most likely, unless you've got a freak...

A4 or M6?

[chetta]

I'd guess Super Muscle as well.

[yyz28]

C'mon... the 4 maybes need to STEP UP!!! We MUST win that trophy... I want those fuckin Eurovette and Ram Truck pilots to know that we just handed them their ass... It's personal after some of the shit that was pulled last week.

[chetta]

Now now Scott, Ray & Terry went from not coming to maybes. Give it another day and hopefully they'll turn into definites. :)

Ok guys I need your help. We have a car for Willie to drive but we have to find a way to pick up Willie on Sunday or Saturday after he gets off work and bring him to my place.

[NolanTA]

A4

[lazyJT/A]

nolan you should be in super muscle class. best guess

[MiniMatt]

Scott what exactly was pulled last week? I must have missed it?

[30birdy]

No prob Chetta, I wouldn't mind driving the truck, I just don't think the adrenaline boost I get from racing would be good for baby :)

FYI, I'll be bringing my helmet if anyone needs to borrow it, it's a medium Nolan helmet. Hope that'll fit someone! :)

[Phat3800]

I might go after I get my brakes taken care of...as a spectator of course.. How late are you guys going to be out there?? If I show up late am I going to be parking my car in the nosebleed section??

[chetta]

You'll park with us in the pits. We'll be trying to save a spot for approximately 20 cars just like last week.

How late does it usually go though??

[chetta]

It really depends on how many cars start off and whether or not there are any crashes causing delays. Last year at Ennis there were two boom bitches which caused delays so the awards weren't done being handed out until 8:30 or 9pm.

Please post up whether you are joining one of the caravan's or if you will be meeting us at the track. We don't want to leave anyone behind. Breakfast at my place will start between 6am & 6:30am. We are pulling out of Keller at 7am sharp. :D
