Update #8
Further info!
[2]http://www.spacecitypanteras.com/funrally/
For everyone's information and for the Texas gang's planning
purposes...
Who plans to attend the TWS Track Event with their Pantera and
actually drive on the 2.9 mile course (besides the lunchtime touring,
of course)?
As mentioned in the Fun Rally initial promotion, Texas World Speedway
is closing. We all knew it was coming for years, but this is it. Our
event will probably be the last one.
See info from management at the bottom of this email.
The question was asked 'Are mufflers required?'
Tom Upton races there all the time and he responded:
"Track has same as SCCA. 104 db @ 70 ft, but I have not seen it being
enforced even though I went to great pains to meet it."
We are up to 29+ (maybe 36?) so far!
(Note: I have received a lot of emails and I may have missed one or two
of you. If you don't see your name and you told me you were coming, let
me know. I'll fix it!)
Early registration is available at the link above.
The 'for damned sure I'll be there' crowd.

Yes, it is closing....
Email to all track event organizers from TWS management:
Greetings all,
The official word on 2015 is that we will be booking through May 31st.
The track may or may not be operating beyond that date, but ownership
is comfortable making commitments through the end of May.
I realize that this will put most of you in a position of having to
book elsewhere from June 1 forward, which is why I asked the owners to
give us a firm date on the closure.
I expect increased demand on dates from this point on. Currently all
weekends are booked through the end of 2014 with the exception of Aug
30-31. For 2015 dates we will continue to operate on a "legacy" basis,
i.e. if your group had the 3rd weekend in March this year, you have
first right of refusal on that same weekend next year. That means that
all dates through May 31, 2015are set as tentative already. You
can view the 2015 schedule on our website
at [4]http://www.texasworldspeedway.com/the-track/track-schedule.html a
nd scroll forward to 2015.
Note that weekends that were open in 2014 have been filled with groups
that had previously requested new/additional dates, in the order that
they were received.
This is important: I need a confirmation for your proposed 2015 dates
by next Friday Aug 29th. If you are, or have made other plans for next
Spring and do not plan to carry over one or more of your
2014 weekend's) I need to know now. We already have groups asking to
come back to TWS for one final event, and some of our current customers
are asking for additional dates. If there will be openings in the
Spring schedule due to a change in your club's plans we need to know
that asap please.
Likewise, if you want to change, trade or add an additional weekend or
want to extend your weekend to Friday or Monday (or more) please let me
know asap. I will do what I can to accommodate.
