I am in the process of contacting Temple Academy Dragway (http://www.templeacademy.com/) and Thunder Valley (http://www.okthunder.com/) and will let you know what I find out.

So what's the word? Did you get a good response from either track?

Sixpipes just made that post this morning. I bet he hasn't heard back from them yet.

Can I suggest the track in OK? At least for the Arkansas guys, it would be better. But its your event, I was just adding my .02

I sent emails to both tracks today. I will call Friday if I don't hear anything before then. I know Thunder Valley would be better for Oklahoma/Arkansas guys, but we'll see how it goes.

LMAO...........for some damned reason, I had it in my mind that OK was further for the Arkansas crowd. I guess I was just thinking that all roads lead through Texas.

I guess I have to edit a post I made on the other thread.

The Temple track recently reverted to it's previous owner for whatever that's worth.

I talked to Linda (Temple Academy) today regarding potentially hosting the TFC this year. They will run the TFC as a club event on top of their normal program. I do know that the Oldsmobile and Buick Clubs are showing up on December 3. I really think we should move the venue this year and the Temple track would be more convenient for Austin/San Antonio, College Station, and Houston area. We could promote it more as a Texas shootout hosted by our club.

I still want to do an event at Thunder Valley, but I would rather work with the Oklahoma and Arkansas guys on a spring date and try to promote that as a 1st event of the year type deal. What do you think?

Sounds like a heck of a good idea... . The only item that might be a little bit of an issue, would be doing our event on the same date as the GM crowd. Could make for a very crowded track.

The rest sounds great.... .

The track is scheduled to be closed on the 10th, but it was offered. I kind of like the idea of running some GM stuff during test and tune before the event. I always enjoyed running the Vettes at Hallsville.

Don't get me wrong here. It really wasn't that I have a problem running whoever. I was concerned with large crowd cutting into available track time. It might not be a problem anyway...I was just tossing something in the ring to consider. It really isn't a deal breaker for me. I'll be there either way... .

Is there anything we can do to help? Phone calls, planning, anything?

Yeah same here about the large crowd cutting into track times. The 10th would be perfect. It would be like a Texas Lightning Shootout.

Just to clarify...the track is SCEDULED to be closed on the 10th, but they are offering that date? If that's the case, then that sounds cool. I like beating up on my GM brethren as much as the next guy, but if we could get the track to ourselves, it seems like that would probably be better in terms of more track time, and less time sitting in the staging lanes. Also, it may give us the option of more or less organizing the agenda for the day, rather than having to abide by someone elses....just a thought...
