I know we all had a good time at the Group Photo but there was that one thing you wished you could do.......Blast around the track!!! This is your opportunity to take a few hot laps around the TMS. Saturday September 10 the Laps for CHARITY event will be held at TMS. For $25 you can do 3 laps. Did I mention it was for CHARITY!!!

Now that thats' out of the way. Post up who all is going. What time would you guys like to meet up?

That's a shame but if you're leaving your truck behind I'd be happy to take it to the track for you. :beer:

75-80 is all they will let you go. The first time I went out to one of these events we are were doing 100+ and it was fun as hell. But now they have it controlled a little more than they did.

They "suggest" you keep it slow. All you have to make sure is you do not pass anyone and don't do anything stupid and you'll be OK. We have gotten up to over 120, but we had to hang back and give ourselves plenty of room. Regardless, it is an experience, but they want to keep it controlled for the safety of those participating. No helmets or any other special restaints are required, so keep that in mind.

Give it a shot and see what happens :tu:

There is a rumor by one of the mustang guys here at work that they turned the Lightning guys loose on the last lap?
FRDRCING
09-12-2005, 07:23 PM
Yes they told us to close the gap and we got one extra lap out of it

I ran my Mustang so hard it started knocking and I was the first guy behind the pace car! Hell, the pace car got up to 100+ mph a few times on the turns.

They treated us more than fairly at TMS:tu: . I ran the Duty at a constant 32psi through the turns entering at 75mph and exiting over 100+. I don't think I was holding up the group to badly:D . It was a blast that is fo sho.

Usually twice a year. I keep my eyes peeled for it and add it to the calendar. Just keep watch on this forum and you'll see it when it comes up.
