***Official DFW LS1Truck meet August 2008***

[outlaw_king]

I have been talking on the live tech chat for a couple of days now about having a DFW get together... if its planned right and far enough out then we can rent a local 1/8 track for the day and it be an LS1 Truck track day. we can also invite others such as Mustangs, F-bodies, Dodge and Ford truck to participate to have people to beat up on... but in order for this to work we need lots of participation. I am sure that several people can bring grills and we can cook out or the track has a concession stand that I am sure we can get the to open up. There are lots of details to be ironed out if it happens but right now just need to find out a head count to see if its worth renting the track for us to play with or just find a day that a local track is open and set up a big meet and greet type thing that we can cook at and people can get some track time with. I dont mind being the point man since i am here in the DFW area. and for you out of towners if we have enough come in then maybe we can find a local motel/hotel that is not in the projects and block some rooms and possible get some good rates. Please let me know who might be interested and we can go from there as well as other ideas and possibilities...

Update 4-15-08

Ok it looks like we will be racing at Northstar (Denton) and i am shooting for the 16th. now here is the kicker that is a saturday and i need to know if you want to run at night with the DFWSTANGS guys so there will be mustangs to whoop up on and get whooped by or do you want a truck thing that will be run during the day with only us there? if we run at night gates open at 6pm if we want to run during the day with only us i can probably get them to open at noon? i just figured it would be a good night atthe track with the pony's there to beat on... the DFWSTANGS events usually have a good car count.

Jeff, I'm a Hilton Hhonors Diamond member...I may be able to get reduced rates on some rooms at any of the Hilton family of hotels (Hilton, Hilton Garden Inn, Hampton, Embassy, Double Tree) if we receive some definitive reservations. It would probably require members posting on here that they want a room, sending me the cash, and me reserving a block of rooms with my credit card. Not sure of exactly how that would work, but I could look into it IF there's enough of a demand (it wouldn't be worth it for a handful of people probably).

[Melissa@NelsonPerformance]

I once had a gal tell me that. Melissa is going to be one popular person there.

my goodness you are so bad!

[Botlfed]

Im down man Ill tell the guys from F.A.S.T. there should be no less that 5 trucks come with me and ill probably get a room even though its only 3 hours i dont think ill be in any condition to drive home, as for them they'll more than likely come back but not sure ill find out for sure. damn i cant wait til august ill have a tune for sure and hopefully my cam and headers.
